Ms Marvel: Where to watch and what to expect from the newest Disney+ show

While all eyes are on Obi-Wan Kenobi, with Ewan McGregor's return to the Star Wars universe arriving with much fanfare to Disney Plus, a lower profile but still iconic hero is set to make her debut on the streaming service this week.
