'Ms Marvel' beats 'Black Panther' to become the best-rated MCU project

It's official. The Disney+ MCU series 'Ms Marvel' has become the best-reviewed movie or show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It beat 'Black Panther' to get to the top. On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the Iman Vellani-starrer has a score of 98 percent after 263 (and counting) reviews, meaning almost every review of the show is positive. In contrast, the 2018 movie, Black Panther, had scored 96 per cent after 528 reviews, which is almost just as impressive. It is possible that 'Ms Marvel' score goes down as it often happens with new shows or movies.

'Ms Marvel' is created by British-Pakistani screenwriter Bisha K. Ali and follows Vellani's Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American teenager from New Jersey. A huge fan of the Avengers, particularly Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), she herself gets superpowers thanks to a family heirloom and begins calling herself Ms Marvel.
