Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says there will be two LGBTQ characters in future films — and we already know one of them.
We just don’t know exactly who he means.
In an interview about with Gregory Ellwood of The Playlist, Feige answer “yes” to the question: “When are we getting a Gay, Bi, LGBTQ, out character in the MCU? Is it even in the works?”
When asked if they’re characters we’ve already seen, or characters who will be new to the story line, Feige replied: “Both… Both ones you’ve seen and ones you haven’t seen.”
The answers were tight-lipped, but they’re likely to be considered a welcome (if not overdue) first step in making sure everyone gets to see someone like themselves in this ever-expanding cinematic universe.
The latest film, Ant-Man and The Wasp, has been criticized for being set in San Francisco, a landmark city for gay rights with a large LGBTQ population, none of whom are represented in the film.
Tessa Thompson has already made a declaration about her character Valkyrie from Thor: Ragnarok, even though this side of the character wasn’t shown or discussed on screen.
@oresteian Replying to @GregSelkirk @MarcRuckus and 2 others Valkyrie in the comics is a big ole lesbian so I doubt she would give your opinion any thought. 💁🏽💁🏼
Tessa Thompson ✔ @TessaThompson_x She’s bi. And yes, she cares very little about what men think of her. What a joy to play!
But there’s no guarantee that Valkyrie is who Feige meant. The revelation is likely to provoke a measure of backlash from close-minded fans, but it’s being met with enthusiasm from other Marvel moviegoers who are eager to see the beloved films become more inclusive.
There will definitely be some Captain America fans who wouldn’t mind seeing the love and friendship between Bucky and Steve manifest as something more.
LGBTQFUBAR
Just make them all gay and be done with it.
...or mine of the 60s
“To the mentally healthy (heterosexual), sex is something you do.
To the mentally diseased (’homosexual’), sex is everything you are.”
OOO Good ones ! I’m using those. Prepare for royalties.
The SJW crap has completely tanked the sales of their comics. I guess Disney didn’t learn their lesson from Star Wars yet if they are going to let Marvel do this to the movieverse too.
Because it is important that children are shown that perversity is right, good and normal.
The only DC show that doesn’t have a gay character is Black Lighting.
There are two X-men that are already openly lesbian.
Whatever.
An aside to this. My youngest daughter has always loved video games. She played them all the time. One of the yearly events that she always looked forward to was going to a Comic Con in Seattle. This year, she never mentioned it. I asked her if she was going and she said, "no". When asked why she explained that the SJWs had taken over the Comic Con and they had issued all kinds of new rules, lots of anti-male stuff. No costumes -- that one stunned me as costumes were always a major component to the fun of going to a Comic Con. Some of these people really put a lot of time and effort into their costumes and make-up.
SJW's main function in our society seems to be to make sure no one ever has any fun.
Yep, the left in this country used to be kooky free love hippies, and now they’ve morphed into weird Nazi Victorian prudes.
The PC, SJW's want to corrupt and destroy the Marvel universe with their perverted agenda, then we will be happy to ablige.
mutants and such, after all
leftist politics have a way of destroying things ....
