Ms. Marvel star, Iman Vellani tours the Marvel Studios office where she wields Captain America's shield and Thor's hammer. The Canadian actress recently debuted as Kamala Khan in the new Disney+ series. Like her character, Vellani is a massive fan of the Avengers and in her new social media post, she is able to play with some of the MCU's iconic props.
In Ms. Marvel, Kamala is a 16-year-old Jersey City native and Avengers superfan, particularly for Captain Marvel. While Ms. Marvel solely focuses on the character's origin story, it also leans on her fandom, with the premiere episode even featuring the first-ever AvengerCon. Throughout the marketing campaign for the Disney+ series, Vellani has proven time and time again that she is a genuine MCU fan, taking pop quizzes where she shows off her knowledge of the Marvel universe. Now, she gets to live her biggest dream as she starts her journey as Kamala.
Among the perks of being cast in an MCU project is that now, Vellani has insider access to the franchise. That includes getting to tour Marvel Studios' office. In a new Ms. Marvel post on TikTok (via Iman Vellani Updates), the actress roams around Kevin Feige and his team's headquarters where various props from previous MCU films are displayed. At one point, Vellani is even able to wield two of the most iconic weapons in the Marvel universe — Captain America's shield and Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Watch the clip below:

Looking at the props, both the Captain America shield and Mjölnir are the original iterations of the weapons. The shield doesn't have the extra detailing like that Sam Wilson receives in Avengers: Endgame. Meanwhile, the hammer doesn't have the clear cracks in the version of Mighty Thor is set to use in Thor: Love and Thunder. Aside from the aforementioned props, Vellani also attempts to put on an Iron Man helmet. Sadly, it doesn't fit her. But while doing press junkets for Ms. Marvel, Vellani has been vocal about being a massive Robert Downey Jr. fan. So, just the fact that she was able to see some of Tony Stark's full suits, not to mention Pepper and War Machine's, must be a special treat for her.
On-screen, only Chris Evans' Steve Rogers has wielded both Captain America's shield and Thor's hammer as seen in the final Avengers: Endgame fight. Chances are that it might never happen again as it was a big moment for both the Avenger and the MCU as a whole. It had even been teased all the way back in Avengers: Age of Ultron. As for Ms. Marvel's Vellani, despite not interacting with any Avenger in the MCU yet, chances are she will ultimately join Earth's Mightiest Heroes where she can see both Wilson and Jane Foster wield the shield and Mjölnir, respectively.
