Ant-Man and the Wasp
MarvelStudios president Kevin Feige suppose that one day presently there will be more female superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe than virile superheroes . It has been 10 year since the MCU launched with Jon Favreau’sIron Man- and it looks like it will start to head in a new direction following next year’sCaptain Marvel .
The MCU has traditionally had something of a gender preconception , but that ’s changing little by little . There ’s been late buzz about a possibleA - Forcemovie - a flick that would asterisk all the distaff Cuban sandwich of the MCU teaming up together against cosmic threats . Marvel stars such as Tessa Thompson , Brie Larson , and Scarlett Johansson have allpitched the idea to Kevin Feige . Thompson , for her part , walked away believingMarvel is " concerned " in the concept , though not much has fall out on that front since the initial written report .

speak to Kevin Feige as part of a pressure pleasure trip forAnt - Man & the Wasp , Screen Rant drive the chance to ask if there was any movement on this potential film . Feige deliberately avoided give anything away , admitting he ’s " cagey about anything post Avengers 4 . " He then reflected a little on the change gender balance in the MCU , and where he expects things to go .
" But , as the plan go forrader I think frankly we ’ll be … you be intimate , eventually I think we ’re move to reach a prison term where it ’s not just … hear , it would be astonishing to see all of our female character the style we have seen … most , never all male person , but mainly male . I think we ’re get to the point shortly where we have so many great distaff type that those are just our submarine sandwich as opposed to when are they all female , all male . It ’s just the Marvel heroes , more than half of which will be woman . "
The last comment from Feige is clearly the most exciting ; he envisions a fourth dimension when people have stopped talking about whether Marvel Hero of Alexandria are manly or distaff , and when at least half - most likely " more than half " - are women . Right now , Marvel is nowhere near that point ; female superheroes are still in the nonage in the MCU , but that ’s most definitely changing . Black Pantherfeatured a wealthiness of female characters , most notably Okoye , Nakia , and the super - genius Shuri . Marvel ’s next film , Ant - Man & the Wasp , will see the two titular heroes work together as adequate pardner . And next year’sCaptain Marvelwill be the MCU ’s first female person - extend superhero movie . Marvel still has a prospicient way to go before they get to the pointedness Feige imagines , but now we have a mother wit of the direction of travel .
A single tantrum inAvengers : Infinity Warmade the practiced case yet for anall - female MCU team picture . The Battle of Wakanda featured a smaller fight vista in which Black Widow , Okoye , and Scarlet Witch work together to defeat Proxima Midnight , one of Thanos ’s Black Order members . It was a sensational tantrum , and an exciting taste of what anA - Forcefilm would actually be like . It ’s clear that Marvel intend their future to be one in which they embrace variety . moving-picture show likeBlack Pantherand DC’sWonder Womanhave proved that the world is ready for a far richer , more diverse worldly concern of superheroes than we ’ve visualise to date . And Marvel mean to make the most of that chance .
