Ms. Marvel's Iman Vellani Reveals the MCU Star Who Is Her Mentor

Iman revealed that her MCU mentor is Brie Larson, otherwise known as Captain Marvel.

“Brie actually reached out to me like a week after I got the part,” she said on While You Were Streaming.

“We just talked on video chat for hours, sharing stories. I was listening to her give me really great advice on how to take care of yourself because you can get lost in this world and everything can get super overwhelming and it’s a lot of emotions and new experiences,” she said.

“Just hearing someone who’s as established and successful as Brie have the same problems that I’m having was just really comforting.”

“Any time I had any issue on set, I would text her and she’d make herself so available to answer my questions, as silly or small as they were,” the actress also told Variety.

She also said Kumail Nanjiani and Simu Liu also reached out.

“The fact that I have these people by my side is more than I could have ever asked. Just the fact that people at Marvel know my name and now people like Kumail, Simu and Brie truly just want to protect me and take care of me and guide me throughout this very daunting process, it means the world.”
