Iman Vellani has had a superlative year, entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Disney+ series “Ms. Marvel.” For her maturity, enthusiasm and talent on-screen and off, Vellani is one of The Associated Press’ Breakthrough Entertainers of 2022.
“I remember when Sam Jackson was on set, I had this whole laundry list of questions for him. And I was asking him like, ‘What are the best characteristics of an actor?’ And he was like, ‘Patience.’ I was like, ‘Yes, Sam, you’re right, patience.’ After that, I never complained, ever. If anything took longer than 5 minutes or 10 minutes or coming to set and not even working, you know, it’s all part of the job. You have to understand, there’s so many moving parts.
While she wants to continue with showbiz beyond Marvel, Vellani remains open to possibilities and has two criteria: “I just want to meet cool people and do cool things.” “I have so much to learn ... I feel Marvel Studios compared to the rest of Hollywood is such a different world. I want to experience what’s out there. I’m in a very lucky position where I’m able to do that, and I’ve built so many incredible connections at this point. So yeah, I don’t know where life is going to take me, but I’m excited and obviously I will work for Marvel until the day I die. I’m loyal.”She’s not kidding about being a Marvel fan.
“I’ve lost my anonymity now. I don’t really mind,” said Vellani. “Yes, it’s annoying to kind of lose the ability to have a first impression, but it means so much when people. I’ve had so many great conversations with people. I just like to picture them watching the show.” Vellani says she had “a two-year countdown” to prepare her for fame. “I got cast during the pandemic. How rare is that that someone actually gets to mentally prepare for two years to know how their life is going to change? Because I’ve seen it happen to like the Tom Hollands and the Chris Hemsworths of the world, I kind of knew what to expect.”
