By Nermeen Nabil Khear Matt Murdock may be a skilled fighter and vigilante, but he’s still a regular dude who needs money. His firm is not making a ton of cash and, well, Matt needs a loan. So, like the average Joe, he heads to the bank in hopes of getting an approval. Matt’s trip to NY Mutual in Daredevil: Born Again’s fifth episode leads to a fun Ms. Marvel crossover to further tie his journey into the MCU.
When Matt arrives at the bank, he speaks to its Assistant Manager, who happens to be Kamala Khan’s father Yusuf Khan. This wasn’t too shocking for anyone who watched trailers of the series considering he shows up in at least one of them. Kamala’s dad is not too keen on giving Matt’s firm the load and, in the midst of a conversation with him, he answers a phone call from his daughter. She’s visiting friends in Los Angeles and having a great time, which we love for her. I especially like the mug on his desk that says “World’s Okayest Dad,” even though he’s beyond an average father. Yusuf mentions that he lives in Jersey City, where Ms. Marvel is their hero. Hilariously, Matt doesn’t know anything about Ms. Marvel.
Matt decides to leave in disappointed yet decent spirits but quickly comes back when he hears Luca’s crew invade the bank. They are locked, loaded, and holding several hostages, including Yusuf Khan. Because the branch manager is out of the office, Yusuf becomes the target to open up the vault in hopes of retrieving a really expensive diamond. Matt comes back and pretends to be a chill dude who accidentally wandered in, so he is now a hostage as well. Using his listening skills, he works out the plan.
But one big problem is that Yusuf has no clue how to open the vault despite saying he does out of fear. Matt tells him to keep lying and stall as much as he can. Matt is able to get one robber alone (gotta love the old bathroom excuse) and subdue him. He makes it downstairs just in time to save Yusuf, who is terrified and no longer able to delay admitting he cannot open the vault. He watches in shock as Matt leans into the vault and is able to open it and retrieve the diamond.
After some trickery, a decoy and collaborator of the crew discovers that the diamond in their pocket is just a butterscotch candy from Yusuf’s desk. Matt later comes in to check up on Yusuf, who invites him to dinner in New Jersey. We don’t know if Matt will take him up on his offer nor if Yusuf suspects that Matt is a vigilante. (Surely he must think so, considering his daughter is also fighting crime on the streets.) But we do know that he returns the diamond in Yusuf’s butterscotch bowl.
It’s a fun little break in the midst of so much heartbreak and seriousness in this series. Kamala Khan’s dad Yusuf is a delight and it is nice to see a Ms. Marvel and Daredevil crossover. At the end of The Marvels, Kamala and Kate Bishop began forming a team, which means the Young Avengers are surely on the way. It is possible that we will see them fighting alongside Daredevil at some point. Or, maybe we will get Matt Murdock and Kamala Khan at dinner. Only time will tell.
