What to Watch This Weekend
MS. MARVEL
Watch on Disney+
When do Marvel fans find time to sleep? This week, Disney+ premiers their latest MCU expansion series- though this one is a little different from the others. Ms. Marvel is centered on Kamala Khan, a teenage Pakistani girl from New Jersey who doesn’t fit in. Her life changes, however, when she gains the ability to harness cosmic energy from a magical bangle. The show is historic for being the first Marvel property with a Muslim superhero! C’mon representation!

It’s Broadway’s biggest night on Sunday as the Tony Awards return to Radio City Music Hall. Fresh off of her Oscar win, Ariana DeBose hosts this year’s star-studded proceedings which promise to be jam-packed with musical numbers, heartfelt speeches, and more special surprises. We’ve already got our tissues ready for what we can only imagine will be a moving tribute to Stephen Sondheim who passed earlier this year.
