Ms. Marvel is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 and is the seventh series to air on Disney+. The series served as a set-up for the forthcoming0 “The Marvels“, in which Vellani will reprise her role as Khan along with other cast members from the series.
The show changed the MCU for many years to come.
