‘Never Have I Ever’ star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan to play Marvel superhero?

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan shot to fame with her character Devi in the Netflix original series ‘Never Have I Ever’ and now fans are keen to see her play the superhero titular role in Ms Marvel aka Kamala Khan.

Talking about this, Ramakrishnan was cited in ET Online saying, “If there was a Tamil superhero, I wouldn’t want to see a Pakistani girl playing (her). I would say, ‘Really? You couldn’t find anybody who was Tamil?’ So why would I want to do that to the Pakistani community? That wouldn’t be fair.”

She added, “If there was a Tamil superhero, I wouldn’t want to see a Pakistani girl playing (her). I would say, ‘Really? You couldn’t find anybody who was Tamil?’ So why would I want to do that to the Pakistani community? That wouldn’t be fair.”

“Trust me, I’d love to be a superhero. I love Marvel so much. I could be the daughter of Deadpool or his apprentice or something. Maybe Deadpool adopts a South Asian girl. It would make sense, Ryan Reynolds and I would both make the Canadian jokes,” she concluded.
