Ms. Marvel Aisha star on bringing an "important part of history" into the MCU (SPOILERS)

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel episode 5. Turn back now if you have not seen the latest installment in the MCU series.

The fifth episode of Ms. Marvel solves the mystery of Kamala Khan’s great-grandmother Aisha. We first met Kamala Khan's great-grandmother in a flashback earlier in the season, but the new episode sees her on the run from the ClanDestine, falling in love with a man named Hasan (Fawad Khan), and having a daughter.

Unfortunately, the family is soon forced to flee, and Aisha ends up being killed by the villainous Najma, while Kamala's transported back in time to help her grandmother using her powers and forming a "trail of stars". We may have heard this story before in the series – but now we know the truth behind it.

Aisha's story is a beautiful departure from everything else we've seen so far, and Total Film caught up with Mehwish Hayat, who plays Kamala's ancestor, to discuss her compelling story and being part of the MCU. "The experience itself was magical for me being Aisha and being, as a Pakistani actress, launched on such a global platform," she tells us. "It’s Marvel, it doesn't get any better than that."
