Marvel Studios‘ Disney+ original series Ms. Marvel has added another award to its list of accolades.
Per Marvel itself, Ms. Marvel has won the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Motion Design. The honorees include director Ian Spendloff; designers David Lochhead, Daniella Marsh, and David Stumpf; and 3D artists Philip Robinson and Matthew Thomas.
The 75th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards will take place in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 6 and Sunday, January 7. However, the winners of the juried awards — including Outstanding Motion Design — were announced ahead of time. These awards will be formally presented during the L.A. ceremony. An edited telecast of the event will air on FXX on Saturday, January 13.
Ms. Marvel is up for three other honors at this year’s Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards — namely, Outstanding Picture Editing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie; Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special (Original Dramatic Score); and Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music. The series has also been nominated for three honors at the 3rd Astra TV Awards.
Ms. Marvel’s previous accolades
Ms. Marvel premiered on Disney+ in June 2022 as part of Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Head writer Bisha K. Ali created the six-episode series, with Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah serving as lead directors. Iman Vellani starred as Kamala Khan, a Captain Marvel superfan who becomes a hero in her own right.
Ms. Marvel previously took home Best Adaptation From a Comic Book/Graphic Novel at the 2022 Harvey Awards and Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming at the 39th TCA Awards. Additionally, Vellani won Best Performance by a Younger Actor (Streaming) at the 47th Saturn Awards.
Kamala Khan’s future in the MCU (and beyond)
Vellani recently reprised her role in the team-up feature film The Marvels, which hit theaters last month as part of Phase Five of the MCU. While it remains to be seen if Ms. Marvel will get a second season on Disney+, The Marvels made it clear that Vellani’s Kamala Khan has a big future ahead of her. The film concluded with Kamala beginning to put together her own team of Young Avengers — starting with Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop/Hawkeye.
Meanwhile, Vellani is currently making her mark on Marvel‘s comic book universe. The actor recently co-wrote the four-issue limited series Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant, which re-establishes the resurrected Kamala Khan as a member of the X-Men. Vellani and co-writer Sabir Pirzada (the latter of whom also worked on the Ms. Marvel television show) are returning to pen a follow-up series, Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace, which launches next year.
Ms. Marvel is currently streaming on Disney+.
