LGBT+ Marvel Characters Discussion

[Drops Of Venus]

There's a "spoiler/leak" about Avengers: Endgame that spoilers:

describes the appearance of a character that sounds extremely descriptive of Teddy, as an Avenger in the future. And according to it, he hits on Bruce Banner/Hulk.

end of spoilers

I wasn't going to, but I didn't resist and read that anyway.

spoilers:

We know a teenage Cassie Lang is rumored to appear in the movie. If that turns out to be true, maybe we get a glimpse of the Young Avengers in the future, which would fit with Kate coming to the MCU as well. That's the only scenario in which I can see Hulkling appearing in this movie. But him hitting on Bruce Banner, though? That's just weird to me, specially if Billy is also there, which I would think he would be if we were getting a YA glimpse with the OG team. It'd make more sense if it was a scene with the two boys commenting on how hot the Avengers guys are or something like that.

Does anyone have a link to where this spoiler/leak came from? I'm genuinely curious now.

[Wiccan]

I tried but didn't find anything.

Yeah, I'm also really interested in knowing where this rumour came from.

Wow. You guys are v tempting with your spoiler tags, but I'm keeping in control.

I'm sure this has been mentioned in the past (I feel I preface every one of my posts here with that), but isn't anyone else super stoked for Disney Plus? It's the best medium for Disney and Marvel to experiment without major repercussions of failure. Stranger stories or lesser-known properties have a much higher chance to be made into a Disney+ movie or TV series or special.

The "big screen" isn't even an ultimate goal anymore. Disney is really starting to expand and launch itself into the future of entertainment and media. They'll still produce theater movies, yes, but when they are making high quality products like The Mandolorian with a Game of Thrones budget? That part of me would rather be able to watch that whenever I want to and how many ever times I want to for only $7 per month.

And my point is-- I feel like this is a chance to explore LGBT characters and stories.

Yes, I AM very excited about the possibilities Disney+ opens up for not only Marvel, but so many other brands and franchises. And for anyone who was worried about the service trying to ''keep things conservative'', there's been news going around about a Love, Simon TV show spin-off, so yeah, it doesn't sound like Disney is trying to avoid LGBTQ-inclusive projects or anything like that at all.

I highly doubt the validity of that rumour though, to be honest.

Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to Disney+ I'm really hoping there's a gay character in The Mandalorian.

So now I'm hearing that one of the characters in Shazam! is implied to be gay. It's hard to explain without giving away spoilers for the movie and I can never remember how to use spoiler tags so I'll just say that it's an ambiguous line of dialogue that hints that a certain character is not attracted to women. I wonder if this will get followed up on if there's a sequel.

A male not being attracted to women doesn't automatically mean gay.

A male not being attracted to women doesn't automatically mean gay.

True enough, but its at least a possibility that is implied so its worth keeping an eye on.

You will still see folks throw FITS even with a stream service.

I know, but that's what the speculation is so I was just bringing it up.

Some good stuff in West Coast Avengers.

spoilers:

Ramone and America kiss, and we have Fuse and Marvel Boy both admitting they think the other is hot.

I'm so mad the book is over.

Some Eternals details.

Previously we provided you an exclusive story about Marvel’s desire to cast an openly gay male lead. Now we can bring this additional, exclusive information from That Hashtag Show: we can confirm that the studio is seeking an actor to fill the role of James, who is “intellectual, emotional, and has a strong sense of family.” Specifically, the studio is looking at openly gay/bisexual Asian actors in their 20’s.



One name we hear is at the top of Marvel’s list for the role is Conrad Ricamora. He’s currently starring in How To Get Away With Murder. We have not heard back from Ricamora’s agent.

I'm crying at Marvel looking for a gay male Asian LEAD for Eternals. I finally have some representation! Also, they are possibly looking to cast bby Oliver as him? This news has me stoked if it's all true.

[Wiccan]

Which character would that be? James is just the fake casting name, right?
