Was Ms. Marvel’s Kamala or Yusuf Khan in Daredevil: Born Again?

Daredevil: Born Again Episode 5, titled “With Interest,” largely takes a break from the main narrative of the series and follows Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock / Daredevil as he tries to stop a bank robbery. The fans want to know whether Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel or her father, Mohan Kapur’s Yusuf Khan, appears in the episode. They were introduced in the 2022 miniseries Ms. Marvel, which, like Daredevil: Born Again, streamed on Disney+.

Does Ms. Marvel aka Kamala Khan appear in Daredevil: Born Again?

No, Ms. Marvel, aka Kamala Khan, doesn’t appear in Daredevil: Born Again. It is revealed that when Daredevil: Born Again takes place, she is not in Jersey City, where she and her family live, but in California, “visiting some friends there.”

Now, this is probably an important piece of information. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands, it continues to introduce new characters and teams. It was heavily hinted toward the end of the 2023 feature The Marvels that the superhero team Young Avengers could be part of the MCU narrative in the future. Kamala recruits Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop in her fledgling team and states that she wants Kathryn Newton’s Cassie Lang, the daughter of Scott Lang / Ant-Man, to join the team as well. Perhaps that is why Kamala is in California, as Cassie resides in San Francisco.

Was Mohan Kapoor’s Yusuf Khan in Daredevil: Born Again?

Yes, Mohan Kapoor’s Yusuf Khan is in Daredevil: Born Episode 5.

Yusuf is the assistant manager of the bank who was targeted by the robbers in this episode. But before that, he speaks to Matt, who is at the bank seeking a loan to expand his practice. The two get on incredibly well, and Yusuf speaks fondly about his daughter to Matt. Although he ultimately declines Matt’s request, the latter observes that this is the “nicest no” he has received yet.

When the robbers come, desperate to steal a diamond, most likely on Vanessa’s orders (the one tangible connection this episode has with the rest of the series), Matt takes them out one by one, and Yusuf helps him figure out what the robbers are looking for. Toward the end of the episode, Yusuf invites Matt for dinner, and he happily accepts.
