The first trailer revolves around her fascination with Captain Marvel. She’s the normal teenager who has groups of friends, is a curious girl, has low self-esteem wherein she feels like she doesn’t fit with anyone around her, and just like every teenage girl in high school, she also has a crush on a guy, as seen in the trailer. A tradition of Muslims was also seen, emphasizing Khan’s origin.
As the 1:47 minute trailer keeps going, Khan is seen in a room, discovering a bracelet that will soon change her teenage life. She will soon find out that she’s just like Captain Marvel, who she looks up to, by realizing that she’s also a superhero.
As revealed in the comics, Khan is known to be an Inhuman who can manifest powers when exposed to a substance called Terrigen Mists. Right after the release of the first trailer, Brie Larson who portrayed Captain Marvel retweeted the said trailer earning wild reactions from Marvel fans.
