Ms. Marvel's Aramis Knight Reveals Why He Wasn't Nervous About Joining The MCU

When asked about his experience of joining the franchise, Aramis Knight said, "I actually was never super nervous about it." He added, "I find that as an actor ... A good example of this, or an analogy for this, would be like if a painter comes into your home and asks if he should take down the photos before he paints your wall, you're going to question him as a painter."

One of the key components to nailing down a character is having confidence in yourself and the character, and Knight proved himself to be the right choice for Red Dagger before he even snagged the role — and that zen attitude about the experience could have been what got him the gig. 

"When I was going in to test for this Marvel show, it was amazing. I knew it was for Red Dagger. I knew it was potentially life-changing," Knight recalled. "But going in there, I knew myself, and I knew what I had to offer. I knew what I had to bring to the series. For that reason, I lacked nerves. It was weird. I felt very, very locked into the character, and I felt like it was right for me, so there [were] very little nerves in it at all."
