Long before the women of the Marvel Cinematic Universe joined forces for the epic female scene in “Avengers: Endgame, Marvel had expressed interest in an all-women Marvel mashup movie. But after that scene in “Endgame,” fans have been asking when they’ll see the female movie hit theaters.
Now, Brie Larson, one of Variety’s Power of Women honorees, confirms to Variety that she, along with her Marvel co-stars, have had talks with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige about making that film a reality.
During a sit-down interview at her Power of Women cover shoot, Captain Marvel herself was asked if the female film has been “truly discussed” among the Marvel brass.
“It is something,” she said with a pause, then adding, “Well what do you mean truly discussed?”
Larson was speaking to Variety senior correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister, who followed up with, “You tell me.”
“I will say that a lot of the female cast members from Marvel walked up to Kevin and we were like, ‘We are in this together, we want to do this,'” Larson replied. “What that means, I have no idea. You know, I’m not in charge of the future of Marvel, but it is something that we’re really passionate about and we love and I feel like if enough people out in the world talk about how much they want it, maybe it’ll happen.”
Feige has previously expressed interest in the female Marvel film, though no firm plans to green light such a project have been set. Marvel, however, is putting emphasis on more female-forward standalone films lately from Larson’s “Captain Marvel,” which grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office earlier this year, and Scarlett Johansson’s upcoming “Black Widow” film, which is due in theaters next year.

Silly. Only alleged males can be villains. Name of movie? “THE ASSAULT ON THE ISLE OF LESBOS!”
I guess this begs the question: Why do they make movies?
After all, Lady Ghostbusters was such a hugh success!
Are these women, women? Or Tranny women?
And to steal a title from “son of the beach”, it can be called “Taco Lips Now”
From all I have heard about Marvel's plans, it looks like future films will be mainly SJW nonsense.
>>> After all, Lady Ghostbusters was such a hugh success!
If there is fairness in the universe, it should be career enders for some of these actors, not just the Ghostbusters remake but the “Marvel Women” too.
I propose they call this project the “Menstrual Avengers”.
I know I’m not the only Marvel fan that rolled his eyes at the “all female” Avenger scene in Endgame. It was contrived and forced, and it felt like they were deliberately checking some PC box.
Good.
I think the entire comic book genre of movies has become a parody of itself...and should be put to its inglorious end.
This will very much help to achieve that.
Well, let me play ‘devil’s advocate’ here....
The ‘Ghostbusters’ remake was a flop because no one really knew or cared about the women who played in the film.
With Marvel, there’s a bevy of female people that fans know and love...Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Wasp, Black Panther’s genius sister Shuri, SHEILD Agent Maria Hill...and yes, I’m leaving out Captain Marvel.
If marketed correctly, and if they DON’T go all-in on the ‘women-are-so-much-better-than-men’ idea, it could work.
They’d have to walk a VERY fine line, though.
Now that is funny!
...and I am like “you have a flat butt”, so there is that.
As a woman, I am totally fed up with the ‘everything must be about women’ attitude. I love men. I love my husband. I love my son. I love my future grandson. I will not be seeing any more Marvel movies. You can call me ‘LEGION’. (I suspect the majority of women feel exactly as I do)
I used to love the MCU. With the woke changes already announced, I am dreading the releases instead of anticipating them. I guess they want to kill the movie attendance in the same way they killed comic book sales.
They would constantly be fighting each other.
