Mrs. Marvel is a celebration of all things Marvel, as it introduces the audience to Kamala Khan, a Muslim teenage girl who is as big a fan of the Avengers as the rest of us. The Disney + premiere brought Iman Vellani’s young hero to AvengerCon and featured references to 28 MCU heroes and villains, while including a strangely specific description of the final battle of Avengers: Endgame .
Since the Battle of the Avengers for Earth against Thanos took place out of the public eye, writers would always have a hard time explaining how the world was so aware of what happened. The same questions were asked earlier on WandaVision when Jimmy Woo referred to Captain Marvel shooting down Thanos’ fleet.

Fortunately, Ms. Marvel explained that this knowledge came from Big Me Little Me: A Scott Lang Interview, an appearance by Paul Rudd’s hero on a podcast in the universe. But as it turns out, the creators of the series originally had a different idea to explain how the world knows so much.

During a recent interview with The Wrap, Marvel executive producer Bisha K. Ali revealed her original plan for how Kamala Khan was aware of the events of the final battle of Avengers: Endgame.

The premiere confirmed that Scott Lang of Ant-Man appeared on a podcast that included a description of the events of the fight. But Ali had originally presented Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige with “drones and a live broadcast of the Battle of Endgame,” an idea he quickly rejected:
“At one point, like the first few days before I expanded my creative team, I said, ‘Kevin, what if there were drones and a live broadcast of the’ Endgame? ‘ And he said, “Bisha, no.” I’m like, there was no Twitch streamer for the final battle of “Endgame?” Are we kidding? I think I lost my mind at the time, trying to solve this riddle. So it was really a great iterative journey. And it was something that changed and even moved. And I think she must have been a Sana [Amanat, co-creator of the ‘Ms. Marvel’ [comics] release at the end. Or maybe it was, I really have no idea where that idea came from. But when we integrated it into the script, I think it was perfect. It was about character. “
The executive producer shared how the team went through “a million rounds” to try to figure out how Kamala and the rest of the world are aware of these events:
“I’ll be honest, I never take credit where it’s not due, that wasn’t my idea. It was something we went through a million rounds of this, as it does. [Kamala] know things? Is it because everyone posts things on social media? “
Scott Lang: Viral Sensation on the Internet
The concept of the final battle of Avengers: Endgame that is broadcast live to the world seems a bit absurd for several reasons.
At the time of the battle, billions of people had just come back to life and the planet was in chaos, it’s hard to imagine anyone having time to prepare drones and equipment for a live broadcast. Thanos ’attack on the Avengers enclosure was also a surprise to everyone, and one could imagine that the location of the team’s high-tech base was also a well-kept secret.
The explanation offered to Ms. Marvel about how the world knows the specific events of the Battle of the Earth is much more logical and fun. Scott Lang of Ant-Man is one of the funniest and most common heroes on the MCU, so it’s easy to imagine that he wants to brag about his heroic adventures in the world on a podcast.
Hopefully, Big Me Little Me: A Scott Lang Interview can play Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in some way, as many fans have been anxious to see it come true. An impromptu interview with the character with Paul Rudd could be a hilarious Disney + special to promote the trick before it releases next year.
Situations like this show why the role of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige at MCU is so important. Their involvement and oversight of each project is why every MCU project can be as connected as it is. The idea of drones surrounding the Avengers as they fought the planet and Tony Stark breathed finals brings a little too much light to what was an incredibly tense sequence.
Undoubtedly, Mrs. Marvel will offer many more references to Avengers: Endgame and the rest of the MCU when it releases its second installment on Wednesday, June 15, exclusively at Disney +.
