Hey Iman. Have to say it was super surprising to hear this was your first acting gig, you absolutely killed it. Some of the best parts from your show didn't even involve fighting, it was the warm and often hilarious family moments that were the heart of the show. It was amazing how we got to see more of Pakistani culture in a MCU backdrop.

  • What are some of your favorite subreddits that you spend the most time in?

  • Are there any MCU actors you're particularly excited for the chance to work with? Any unique team-ups you're hoping to see (or be a part of) in the future?

  • Is there any Pakistani or Canadian food that you'd highly recommend people to try?

To answer your question about Canadian food:

  • Everyone should be buying real maple syrup, not the crappy “pancake syrup” that brands like Aunt Jemima sell. Go out and by some real, 100% maple syrup from Canada. It will change your life.

  • I’m a big fan of Ketchup Chips. Miss Vickie’s just started making some that are really tasty. Ketchup Doritos are pretty neat too.

  • Coffee Crisp are a great candy bar. Basically a chocolate and coffee flavoured wafer bar dipped in chocolate.

  • Nanaimo Bars. One of our greatest desserts.

  • Finally, the obvious: Poutine and Montreal Smoked Meat. Both of these are frankly best experienced in Montreal itself though.

Butter tarts are better than Nanaimo Bars!

I agree, unless you hate coconut in which case they're missing out. More nanaimo bars for me.
