The portrayal of Muslims on screen in Hollywood has been less-than-stellar. Muslims are commonly portrayed as the villains of the story, often relegated to being terrorists. Today in 2020, there is still much work to be done but there are sparks of hope. Ms. Marvel, a Muslim superhero, is getting her own series on Disney+. On the DC side, Simon Bazz, the Green Lantern is another Muslim superhero growing in popularity.
