Iman Vellani stars as Kamala Khan, alongside Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Adaku Ononogbo, Alysia Reiner, Laith Nakli, Nimra Bucha, and Travina Springer.
Kamala agrees, but Bruno Carrelli warns her that interdimensional travel could be dangerous, so she asks Kamran for more time to ensure that they can do it safely.
[4] Executive producers include Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Brad Winderbaum, in addition to Kamala Khan co-creator Sana Amanat, lead directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, and head writer Bisha K.
The inspiration for the design is to show Jersey City from Khan's point of view while "celebrating the comic books and their artwork that this series is based on".
Menon believed the story in "Livin' on a Prayer" of "two scrappy kids from New Jersey trying to survive under what feels like impossible odds" made it the perfect song to represent Kamala.
This fight was meant to represent Kamala becoming a more complete hero, with more control over her powers, compared to the "more improvised" save of the boy at the mosque in the previous episode.

[26][27] Whip Media, which tracks viewership data for the more than 21 million worldwide users of its TV Time app, calculated that Ms. Marvel was the fifth most-streamed original series for the week ending June 26, 2022.
The site's critical consensus reads, "Iman Vellani keeps affirming that she was 'destined' to play a superhero in another jaunty installment that lays out Ms. Marvel's mythos without sacrificing any of the fast-paced fun.
"[29] Kirsten Howard of Den of Geek rated "Destined" four off of five stars and praised the episode for its character-driven storytelling and its exploration of Khan's family history and powers.
Howard highlighted the episode's balance between character development and action, noting the emotional depth it added to Khan's relationships with her friends and family.
She also found the revelation about the Djinn and Khan's great-grandmother to be intriguing, and complimented the series' slower, more deliberate pacing compared to typical MCU entries.
Club gave the episode a B+ grade and praised the series for delivering action while continuing to explore deeper themes, particularly the concept of "What, exactly, is home?"
[31] Emma Fraser of IGN awarded the episode eight ouf of ten and highlighted the show's ability to balance superhero action with rich cultural storytelling, placing Khan's family and Muslim faith at the core of her journey.
