He co-starred with Yasmin Fletcher, Mohan Kapoor, Laurel Marsden, Matt Lintz, Azhar Osman, Zenobia Shroff and Sagar Sheikh in this mini-series. Iman comes from a Muslim family and plays Marvel’s first Muslim superhero in the series. While talking about this experience he once said,
Growing up I felt very disconnected from my culture and religion because I grew up in Canada. I didn’t have any brown friends who weren’t from my mosque and I didn’t hang out with them. While filming the show, I learned a lot about my ancestry. That’s such a special thing that I got to share with the character, and that’s because I was working with so many incredible creators who were from Muslim or Pakistani backgrounds.
