Kamala’s biggest superhero fascination is with Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel as she dons a suit inspired by the former United States Air Force officer and her super story. Despite her knack for getting lost in her imagination, Kamala still feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and even at home sometimes.
Her parents aren’t particularly thrilled with her superhero fascination, as they try to comprehend why Kamala is so inspired by these beings with extra abilities. Things change for Kamala when she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to though. But will the new power mean a better life for Kamala?
