Top Marvel executive says 'world is ready' for a gay lead superhero. - NBCOUT
Alonso stopped short of confirming the rumor, but said, “We are going to cast the best ‘Eternals’ cast that we can and when we’re ready to announce it we promise you we will.”“Why wouldn’t we be? Why wouldn’t we be?” Alonso said. “I’m so passionate about this I’ve got to tell you. Our entire success is based on people that are incredibly different. Why wouldn’t we? Why would we only want to be recognized by only one type of person? Our audience is global, is diverse, is inclusive.
If the “Eternals” report proves true, the movie would be the first Marvel movie to have a gay lead. “Deadpool 2,” which takes place outside the MCU, did feature Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who is not only lesbian, but was portrayed by openly gay actress Brianna Hildebrand. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in 2015 that he predicted that LGBTQ characters would appear in an Avengers movie within the next decade.
