She continued: 'I can't tell you how many auditions I've been on for stuff like 'woman whose husband gets blown up in front of her.' It was super sad at first. But when you're a kid growing up with that, it's disheartening and you're like, 'Wait, but is that really what my people are like? Is that real?' And it's confusing.' 'And at some point you get old enough to understand it for what it is. 'When you grow up, you see your people being put up in the media in a certain way,' Saad said. And that can be harmful to the emotional and mental development for kids of color and how they perceive themselves.

Too often, people of color are relegated to background roles in superhero narratives where they can run the risk of being portrayed with negative stereotypes. Seeing a superhero story about a group as notable as the Avengers through someone like Kamala is incredibly important, says Saad. I'm just as awkward and quirky, apparently.' I had a lot of the same struggles as a first-generation American girl. She continued: 'Forming the character from my own personal experience was really nice because my personal experience is a lot like Kamala's. 'That I'm pretty similar to her character DNA already, so I didn't have to go very far in my study.' 'That's what I've been told,' she said, laughing. I was immediately surprised by how much Saad already is so much like Kamala-I can see why she was cast. Saad does a wonderful job bringing the young hero to life and, after playing through the Marvel's Avengers beta, I got to sit down and talk with her about her performance, how she prepared for the role, and what someone like Kamala means to both her and the wider superhero fan community.
