When a Marvel movie features a hero who is a born-again Christian and is not a blatant caricature, I will believe that Disney really cares about diversity.

“When a Marvel movie features a hero who is a born-again Christian..”

I read that they are thinking about introducing a Muslim “super-hero,” possibly in the next Captain Marvel movie. They will if Brie Larson get what she wants. Haven’t read anything about having one who is a devout Christian.

Fox pretty much completed a New Mutants movie. I don’t know about the movie, but in the comics they had Cannonball, Sam Guthrie, who was Christian. I’m hard-pressed to remember in others in the comics...and I have about 20,000 of them.

sadly, if that were well done - and especially if it could be artfully folded into the weird metaphysics and cosmology of the Marvel Universe - that would actually be not only fascinating, but profitable.

More likely, and to your point, will be a peace-loving, wise, contemplative and joyful muslim who will be forced to fight (because of course he’s peace loving) evil Christians who just want to destroy all things and who are racist.....
