Hollywood is currently come under a lot of flak for their " brave erasure . " The most late culprit wasJurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , where a delete scene would have revealeda secondary character was gay .

Speaking to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige during interviews forAnt - Man & the Wasp , The Playlisttook the chance to wonder him about whether or not we ’d see future LGBTQ superheroes in the MCU . As they noted , althoughAnt - Man & the Waspis based in San Francisco , there is n’t a gay theatrical role to be recover . Thankfully , Feige was confident in asserting that Marvel is about to become a raft more divers . Here ’s how the conversation went :
When are we getting a Gay , Bi , LGBTQ , out character in the MCU ? Is it even in the whole kit and boodle ?
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 unity you have n’t seen .
The reference we ’ve already seen is probably Valkyrie . Although Valkyrie was n’t inAvengers : Infinity War , the Russos have reassert thatthe character survived the film ’s cliffhanger close . Thompson was seen on setduring yield ofAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers 4 , so it seems good to say she ’ll be seem next year . It ’s possible Marvel will choose to in reality give a subtle hint as to the character ’s sexuality this time around .
The more exciting implication of Feige ’s comment , though , is that Marvel Studios has a raw LGBTQ persona in the kit and caboodle . There in reality are n’t that many Marvel superheroes who are LGBTQ in the first blank space , and a number of the more big unity are members of the XTC - Men . Although Disney is awaiting regulatory approval fortheir bid to purchase the bulk of twenty-first Century Fox ’s film and television empire , which wouldbring the X - man into the MCU , Feige has insistedhe is n’t planning anything around thatuntil the plenty is finalise .
Black Panther ’s tremendous boxful role winner has clearly sway Marvel Studios that the hereafter of the MCU consist in diversity . Feige recently teased that Marvel is considering developing some of the more late " Legacy Heroes , " most notably Kamala Khan’sMs . Marvel . That may mean wedge like America Chavez are soon to make their unveiling in the MCU . Meanwhile , another theory is that Marvel is organise the way for aYoung Avengersmovie . Emma Fuhrmann has joined the hurl ofAvengers 4asan sometime Cassie Lang , a member of the Young Avengers in the comics . Two of her co-worker - Hulkling and Wiccan - are among Marvel ’s most prominent jolly heroes .
We ’ll have to add this comment to the construction intrigue about the post - Phase 3 MCU . Feige has confess he ’s " cagey " about those plans , and will only really start give away what film are in the works after next year’sAvengers 4 .
