Brie Larson says Iman Vellani plays herself in the MCU: "It's not just that she knows Ms. Marvel; it's that she knows everything, and so, she really is that character."

Iman Vellani
Is she playing herself or does she really understand the character... Those are really different things
I think she's probably too young to be a great actress yet and is probably using her natural excitement as a character trait.
I don't know the comics well enough to know if she is being true to the character or not, but I also trust that she is familiar enough with the comics and character to be doing very well.
I'm enjoying her character and performance, and liked The Marvels more than most.
While I also enjoyed the movie it didn’t really live up to “blockbuster”. The series was outstanding and I was hoping for more of the same
I don't look at it as an age issue but experience. Her only credits are the Marvel movies and a voice acting role.
All of it, by the look of things, since that's exactly what the character is supposed to be: a Marvel fan in the Marvel universe.
