However, it was very well received by critics.
His arrival brings a breath of fresh air to the MCU. Unfortunately, Kamala Khan hasn’t fully convinced Disney Plus users. According to Samba TV, Miss Marvel was viewed by 775,000 people in its first 5 days on the platform. The lowest score recorded by a Disney Marvel series, far behind Hawkeyewhich brought up the rear until now.

Can we therefore conclude that this launch is a failure? Comparing Miss Marvel’s viewership to that of other MCU shows isn’t very fair. Loki, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Wanda Vision and Hawkeye are all ultra-popular characters, seen in Marvel films that have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. Kamala Khan is completely new, whether on the big or the small screen, and her series does not have any stars in its cast, unlike Moon Knightanother Marvel hero of which it was the first adaptation, which benefited from the aura of Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke.
Samba TV also specifies that the series worn by Iman Vellani appealed to 20-24 year olds, as well as Hispanics, Blacks and Asians, better than any other Marvel series from Disney Plus. This young heroine of Pakistani and Muslim origin has obviously fulfilled her mission with young people and minorities. It would also be necessary to know the budget of the series, which we imagine modest but which has not been communicated by Disney nor revealed by the press, to know how profitable it is or not.
775k US households watched the premiere of #MsMarvel. While less than other MCU series, it was a hit with #GenZ. Viewers age 20-24 watched at the highest rate of any MCU show, and it drew a more diverse audience with Black, Hispanic and Asian households watching at a higher rate. pic.twitter.com/Ugcvu7een8
