Marvel confirms first transgender superhero

Marvel comics

Marvel Cinematic Universe's first transgender superhero will debut "in a movie that we're shooting right now," Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said during a panel at the New York Film Academy.

 

Asked by a fan whether there were any plans for more LGBT characters in Marvel’s films, “specifically the T, trans characters”, Kevin said: “Yes, absolutely. Yes.”

This year, The Eternals will introduce Marvel movies’ first gay character.

There have been reports since 2019 that Phase 4 of the Marvel Comics Universe – the films following the Avengers Infinity saga – would star a trans character.

In July last year, Geeks WorldWide suggested that Marvel was seeking a trans woman for a project being filmed in 2020.
