The new Marvel Series star Iman Vellani is a big Marvel fan just like the rest of the world. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed, “My favorite people on the planet are Robert Downey Jr., Billy Joel, and Kevin Feige.”
That proved that she admires them a lot. During an interview shared by Ms. Marvel UK, Vellani told about her love for Iron Man. Though she is not able to meet Downey. When asked if she would like to be introduced to the Iron Man star, she rejected the proposal and gave a totally interesting explanation where she told, “I genuinely think I’m gonna implode if I do.”

Though both the stars are from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s a fact that Vellani’s Kamala Khan and Downey’s Iron Man have different timelines in the Marvel which didn’t overlap. When the actress was confirmed to star in Ms. Marvel, the arc of Iron Man in the MCU ended due to Tony’s death in Avengers: Endgame.
As MCU is moving ahead with Phase 4, the storylines are distancing from the Infinity Saga. This makes sense, as Marvel is working on establishing the universe’s superheroes. This includes Ms. Marvel, as well as other new young heroes such as Hawkeye‘s Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova.
Despite the difference in their MCU arcs, Vellani and Downey’s paths might overlap in the future. The reason behind this is that if Vellani establishes herself, she will become one of the new rising Hollywood stars and may encounter Downey in the industry.
Marvel Studios series Ms. Marvel will premiere on June 8th on Disney+.
