The Marvel Cinematic Universe got a little bigger with the debut of Ms. Marvel, the Disney+ series that introduced many fans to teenage hero Kamala Khan. Kamala, played by Iman Vellani, discovers she’s able to create and wield “hard light” — a revelation that sends her on a journey across time, space, and dimensions far from her New Jersey home.
So early on, we were part of the style frame and concept art process. We were working on a lot of different things: The veil, some of [series character] Kamran’s powers, but not so much Kamala, because she was a bit more established by the time we got involved. Once we got in, though, I was excited by the character’s background. I love that she’s a Muslim-American and a teenager from Jersey. The whole thing felt cool and very unique.
There’s a lot going on there, yeah. We knew early on that sequence was going to be something that was going to require a lot of visual effects, for obvious reasons. We knew they were going to have access to a train yard in Thailand and a handful of extras, maybe 100 or 200, so we did a lot of research and looked at footage and photographs from [historic mass migration event] Partition.
Well, there was the “elephant toothpaste” sequence — that giant foam explosion. Foam is very tricky to simulate because it’s a solid that moves like a fluid. We probably spent more time on those shots than almost anything else, even though it’s just a 12-second sequence. We had a lot of fun looking at YouTube references for it, because it’s a chemical reaction that has this explosive growth and volume. I wouldn’t say it was “fun” for the artist, but it was cool to do it.
