Ms Marvel Finale Post-Credits Scene Explained

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Ms. Marvel episode 6

The post-credits scene in the Ms. Marvel finale episode features an exciting MCU cameo (albeit in a very unexpected way). Taking place sometime after the season's climactic battle where Kamala Khan saved the day and became a true hero in the eyes of New Jersey, it seems things won't be getting back to normal for the titular teen hero anytime soon. As seen in the new post-credits scene, Kamala's powerful bangle brought someone very important to her bedroom (while also sending Kamala somewhere else entirely).

In Ms. Marvel episode 6, Kamala Khan returned from her trip to Pakistan just in time to help her friend Kamran get to safety and escape the DODC. Receiving powers of his own from the Noor Dimension, Kamran became much more aggressive and unstable upon learning about the death of his mother Najma, leader of the Djinn known as the ClanDestines. However, Kamala was able to unlock more of her power to keep Kamran from hurting people while also buying him enough time to escape (with help from her friends and family).

Following the incredibly eventful evening, about a week goes by before Kamala is seen lying on her bed during the series' post-credits scene. Noticing that her bangle is acting strange, Kamala stands up right before she's launched into her closet. However, none other than Carol Danvers' Captain Marvel steps out, Kamala's idol and favorite superhero. Here's what happened to Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel, where Kamala likely went, and how this exciting new post-credits scene sets up their future team-up in 2023's The Marvels along with Monica Rambeau's Spectrum.

Did Ms. Marvel Just Transform Into Captain Marvel?

While Kamala Khan is a shapeshifter in the original comics, Ms. Marvel's MCU origins and powers are different enough that it's very unlikely she has the same ability on-screen. As such, Kamala doesn't transform into Carol Danvers even though it initially looks as though that was the case. Firstly, Carol is wearing her own costume (not Kamala's). Secondly, if Kamala had unintentionally transformed to look just like her hero, the post-credits scene would have likely seen her running to a mirror and comically touching her face rather than was it is: Carol surveying her new surroundings (the fan-obsessed shine to Captain Marvel herself that is Kamala's bedroom). In actuality, it looks as though the genuine Carol Danvers and Ms. Marvel switched places thanks to the power of Kamala's bangle.

Where Kamala Khan Goes At The End of Ms Marvel

Seeing as how Carol ended up in Kamala's bedroom, it stands to reason that Ms. Marvel went to wherever Captain Marvel had been. While the exact reason why remains unclear, it should be noted that Ms. Marvel's bangle was glowing with energy that looked very similar to Captain Marvel's power aura. Additionally, Ms. Marvel episode 3 revealed that a second bangle was never recovered by Ms. Marvel's great-grandmother Aisha. It's possible that Carol found the second bangle which is undoubtedly connected to the one presently in the possession of Kamala. Perhaps Captain Marvel unintentionally activated the second one which resulted in her and Kamala switching places.

As far as where Carol might have been before finding herself in Kamala's room, the odds are strong that she was in space. The greater cosmos beyond Earth is her main territory, protecting the galaxy and worlds that don't have as many heroes as her homeworld does. This would support the confirmation from Ms. Marvel's premiere episode that Captain Marvel returned to space following the battle with Thanos as seen in Avengers: Endgame. Likewise, the first bangle was discovered on a severed hand of a being that had blue skin. While Djinn are known to have blue skin in myth as well as in the comics, that wasn't the case with any of the living Djinn seen in the MCU. As such, the blue arm in Ms. Marvel could have belonged to an alien Kree. Not only would this tie to Captain Marvel as well as to Kamala's original comic origins, but it also supports the idea of the second bangle potentially being in space to be discovered by Carol (leading to her swap with Kamala).

How Ms Marvel Sets Up The Marvels

Prior to Captain Marvel's new appearance in Ms. Marvel's finale, she was last seen in the post-credits scene for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. It was there that she, Bruce Banner, and Wong met with Shang-Chi to examine the Ten Rings he inherited from his father. As such, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that Carol has been searching the cosmos to see if she can learn more about the Ten Rings. Seeing as how the temple where Aisha found the first bangle had the symbol of the Ten Rings carved into the floor, the possibility exists that both bangles are somehow connected to Shang-Chi's powerful weapons.

This could serve as the foundation for why Carol and Kamala cross paths in The Marvels, the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel that will see Carol joining forces not only with Kamala but with Monica Rambeau's Spectrum as well. While investigating the source and origin of Ms. Marvel's bangle and Shang-Chi's rings doesn't have to be the main plot of The Marvels (and likely isn't), it could still serve as the reason as to why the two heroes meet. While Monica and Carol have a prior history and connection point seen in the first Captain Marvel, there needs to be something new that motivates Carol and Kamala to come together and team up. As such, it looks as though the Ms. Marvel post-credits scene is setting up that exact scenario to happen in The Marvels. Hilariously, it seems as though Captain Marvel will already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Kamala Khan based on her room decor (despite having yet to officially meet her in the MCU). Ms. Marvel being Carol Danvers' biggest fan may very well be just a hilarious coincidence (and not the main reason why they'll eventually meet).
