Across social media, Pakistanis have been raving about Disney+ and Marvel’s upcoming show Ms Marvel, with fans and Lollywood stars expecting it to authentically represent brown culture. That being said, some fans were already left dissatisfied, when some clips from the show delivered the exact opposite. Despite the disappointment, Mehwish Hayat is a massive admirer of Ms Marvel and the team that worked to create it.

Mehwish Hayat recently shared images from the show’s Los Angeles premiere and wrote an emotional caption full of accolades without hinting at her role in the series.

In the video below, she also speaks about the right kind of portrayal the Pakistani film industry would get from the release of this show.

Netizens, on the other hand, pointed out the “Indian” accent, improper terminology, and overall misrepresentation was all pointed out. Here are a few tweets that show their disappointment.

With all the buzz around the release and the mixed views on the recently aired snippets, we feel like the best time to make a judgment on the accurate representation or lack thereof would be once the show has hit the screens. The show releases tomorrow and we can’t watch it.
