After the media decided to take Marvel executives to task for not having enough LGBTQIA representation in their live-action films, Marvel Studios runner Kevin Feige was pressured into confirming that there will be more out and about characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a means of attempting to assuage the Rainbow Reich.
Speaking with The Playlist, the outlet practically coerced Feige into confirming that LGBTQ heroes or heroines will be featured in upcoming movies after they complained that Ant-Man and The Wasp didn’t feature any flamboyantly gay characters, with the outlet writing….
“The context for the interview was for “Ant-Man and the Wasp” where despite the film’s San Francisco setting there isn’t a gay character to be found (it should be noted it is technically the studio’s first film with a female lead in the title). With Pride month in full effect, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask the Feige when its LGBTQ+ fans would get to see themselves represented on screen”
They proceeded to pepper Feige with questions about heroes or heroines who would be out and flaunting their homosexuality on-screen. The exact exchange went as follows:
“The Playlist: When are we getting a Gay, Bi, LGBTQ, out character in the MCU? Is it even in the works?
Kevin Feige: Yes.
The Playlist: That’s the answer?
Kevin Feige: Yeah, that’s the answer.
The Playlist: It’s not someone we’ve seen yet, I’m guessing?
Kevin Feige: Both.
The Playlist: Both?
Kevin Feige: Both ones you’ve seen and ones you haven’t seen.”
The one character that The Playlist assumes was already confirmed as LGBTQ was Tessa Thompson’s character in Thor: Ragnarok, where the actress confirmed via social media that the character was supposed to be a bisexual lesbian of sorts.
The other character who is LGBTQ hasn’t been put to film yet, so it’s going to be someone in either Spider-Man: Far From Home or Captain Marvel. Given the fact that Carol Danvers is portrayed as extra-masculine in the comic books of Captain Marvel, it wouldn’t be entirely shocking if she was the first out and about lesbian in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Comic book fans have long held the belief that this newer Captain Marvel has all the trademark trappings of a lesbian in everything but name. The question is: would Marvel be so bold as to make their leading lady heroine bite the sociopolitical bullet and munch on the carpet of social justice?
I guess we’ll find out who the LGBTQ character is within the next few Marvel films that make their way into theaters. The real test will be whether or not the character is explicitly gay or if their homosexual character trait is little more than background noise.
I’m patient enough to wait until a movie I might want to see shows up in the used bins of local thrift stores. Still looking for a copy of Glengarry Glenn Ross.
But what will Disney do after those 2 years have passed?

Captain Fabulous?
Exactly what I was talking about.
They’ll be sorry......that bottom line’s not gonna look good.
Even here I feel that First Man, made in Hollywood, is going to have the same non-historic PC crap that ruined 'Cinderella Man' for me.
Reagan, Trump, Pence, Andrew Jackson, Confederates who fought in the Civil War . Take your pick.
Captain Lavender Flamboyant. Swishing across the galaxy.
Practically all of “entertainment” has been taken over and used to promote leftist agendas.
Marvel going “Marvelous” will kill my attraction to the series.
Might as well make them all gay and be done with it.
All the more reason for”normal parents” to make sure their kids watch decent movies. The LGBT community is bent on brainwashing normal kids.
No homosexual villians?
But quite a few serial killers have been gay, bi, sadistic, necro, etc.
Inclusiveness can only go so far.. and then it soils everything around it..
The more they keep adding this perverse garbage, the less likely I am to see these movies. If perverts want to see other perverts in action, there is always pornography.
Captain America was probably the last good movie I saw in a theater - what, 7-8 years ago? "2", was pretty good as well. Figures that Marvel is changing him from an honest, dependable, steadfast and moral character, into a hipster toolbag.
The rest have mostly been "misses", I stopped bothering with them some time ago. WBill Jr dragged me to the latest Avengers movie....and no surprise...if you've seen the first two, the third is almost exactly the same.
They stopped making real comic books decades ago. More ads than comics. I have to read every book I buy my grand daughter before I’ll buy it if I don’t get it from the Bible Book store.
