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.
“...but it’s being met with enthusiasm from other Marvel moviegoers who are eager to see the beloved films become more inclusive.”
Yeah, riiiiiight.
We’ll see.

Hardly “welcome.” Just like SW they are going to alienate 85% of their base to “include” freaks who are less than 2% of the base. Unless they make the homos hot lesbian chicks. That will work for the base.
The market will speak.
Maybe the democrats would be content to rule the Marvel(ous!) Universe.
This is not my Marvel of the 1970s.
Star wars is dead and screwed up thanks to socialist feminist pc sjw.
Now they think they can shift it over to marvels movie lines and not have the same thing happen.
Couldnt think of a nicer bunch of people I wish to commit fiscal suicide.
Because pissing off the 30% of the population that oppose gay values to appease the 3% that support gay values .... has been a compelling economic position for management to take.
The same exact action has happened in the MCU between Pepper Potts and Tony Stark as has Peter Parker and Tony Stark.
Tony Stark has defended both, been a mentor to both, been an authoritative figure to both in some way.
There is no need to tangle sexual preference into this, as there is no need to tangle sexual preference into ANYTHING.
But the gays need to take over everything they see and everywhere they go because they have made a choice to rub genitals with their own. That’s it. For some strange reason everything is about rubbing their genitals on something.
This is not what the gift of God - life - was supposed to be.
Nothing in the Solo movie showed him as being that at all. If anything, he had a thing for his robot.
Did they revive Ace and Gary the Ambiguously Gay Duo? (What are you looking at)

Of course it will. Which is why my kids never started watching it to begin with. Pop culture garbage.
Negasonic Teenage Warhead and her girlfriend Yukio were in Deadpool 2. So yeah, we’ve already seen it happen.
If one was valkryie there’s only one left. The ship her and Asgards survivors were on went Boom! didn’t it?
Because if Disney learned one thing from their recent Star Wars adventures, it’s that more identity stunt casting and SJW themes are the secret to big box office success. Err, well, the data says otherwise but Disney will still take that as the lesson, logic be damned.
appease the 3%
1.5% due to half the pop of the universe disappeared by Thanos...everybody knows this, right?
DC has already done this on the Supergirl TV series.
Assuming Thanos was Equal Opportunity Destroyer and not biased against LGBTXZYLMNO peoples
Well, the comic book crowd are chronic masturbators.
Marvel Cinematic Universe will soon include two openly LGBTQ characters
So the propaganda moves on. Herr Goebbels would so proud of his followers. First the children then the world.
SJWs destroy everything they touch.
I wonder how long it will take them to destroy all the good will the Marvel Universe movies have built up?
