Out Comic Jordan Firstman Appears in 'Ms. Marvel' Trailer

There was a surprising face in the trailer for the new Marvel Studios' Disney+ series "Ms. Marvel'' with the appearance of out comedian Jordan Firstman, Vulture reported.

Firstman appears early in the trailer as what appears to be Mr. Smith, a guidance counselor for Kamala Kahn (Iman Vellani, the show's titular heroine. "It's not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world," she says before she is transformed into the newest Marvel superhero to hit the screen.

It is hard to figure out how crucial Firstman is to the plot, but his casting offers a bit of queer representation (at least in the cast, if not the character, of which we know little about as of yet) on a major series.

The 30-year-old Firstman is carving a niche for himself with his Instagram account where he posts impressions of hyper-specific kinds of people in various situations ("your friend trying to get you to read a book she just read," for example).

On his IG, he describes himself as a "Closeted gay filmmaker, actor, tv writer. Still make love to my wife every day. She can't get enough ! WONT come out dont ask. I'm 47."

Late last year in a podcast interview with pop star Charli XCX on the singer's BBC Sounds podcast "Best Song Ever," Firstman was asked which songs he feels soundtrack the experience of being a gay man, Pink News relayed.

Justifying his choices of "Fabulous" from the High School Musical 2 soundtrack and "One is the Loneliest Number" by Aimee Mann, Firstman explained: "Gay to me is like, delusion. Gay to me is ultimate loneliness."

"Gay is seen as so, like, 'Oh, they've gotten over their problems. They have PrEP, they can't get AIDS and they can get married, like they're good' [but] there is still so much underneath... because gay men feel like they're done with the suffering, because the world has become more accepting, at least in the States, [they feel] that they don't need to do anything."

"There's not that much trauma, there's a little bit so it would be really easy to work on it but because right now no one feels like they need to work on it, that trauma ends up pushing gay men into these cycles of sex and drug abuse and partying."

And, he added, gay men like to party. "Gay men love to f**king party and they always have."

He also spoke about becoming an IG sensation after the pandemic hit.

"I blew up really fast and that was a really weird transition. I kept building and building and building. And then suddenly all these famous people loved me," Jordan recalled.

"It all started to spiral out of control, I had an attempted cancellation that was like... I'm like open about it now."

That happened in December 2020 when the notorious internet vigilante Instagram account Diet Prada unearthed derogatory tweets posted by the comedian in 2012.

"The comedian swiftly issued an apology on his Instagram, writing: 'I wrote some offensive jokes on Twitter in 2012 when I was 19 that are now being circulated online. I am deeply regretful and sorry for these tweets; I was young and dumb and trying to find my comedic voice. I have grown a million lifetimes since and I do not stand by them in any way,'" reported PinkNews.

Firstman has written for "Search Party" and "The Other Two," as well as having appeared in "Search Party."
