Marvel's Avengers is now available on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Stadia, and with the game clearly set to be here for a long time to come (it will eventually be available on the next generation of consoles), there's a lot of excitement surrounding what comes next for this iteration of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. 

Recently, ComicBookMovie.com had the opportunity to catch up with Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel actress Sandra Saad. She's received widespread critical acclaim for her performance in the game, and she had plenty to say about bringing the character to life in the hit title. 

That includes the pressures that came with joining such an iconic franchise, how it felt to play a character who is important to so many people, Kamala's role in Marvel's Avengers as a strong, young female Muslim, interacting with the other cast members and characters, and a whole lot more besides.
