Yep, we've got two more queer MCU characters who's queerness has yet to be seen on screen. Wiccan (who is canonically gay) and Speed (who is canonically bisexual) are Wanda and Vision's twin sons who grow up to become queer members of the superhero group Young Avengers.
As the first major, openly gay character created by Marvel Comics, Northstar generated significant publicity in the mainstream press, and Alpha Flight #106 sold out in a week, although the series was not a very popular title. It is the only comic book issue to have been inducted into the Gaylactic Hall of Fame.
Tim Drake. One of the most recent heroes to come out as queer is also one of the most well-known to be part of the LGBTQ+ community: Tim Drake, the third Robin.
Marvel's decision to fire Victoria Alonso from her position at Marvel Studios has led to new reports to surface. Specifically, it looks like Disney made the decision to have gay imagery removed from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in an effort to keep the film from getting banned in Kuwait.
Throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Janet van Dyne is portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer and is introduced as the wife of Hank Pym and mother to Van Dyne in Ant-Man (2015) and was presumed dead after she shrunk to subatomic level to stop a nuclear missile, becoming trapped in the Quantum Realm.
In another sense, though, it has earned the right to be pleased with itself: it does break a small amount of new ground in the area of its hero's sexual identity. In the comics from which the movie is adapted, Deadpool is pansexual – he makes no distinction between genders or gender identity in his choice of partners.
The LGBTQ community is often last to the table, if there's even a seat. However, it's good to see Kevin Feige pushing for the MCU to be more inclusive. There are already characters in the MCU who are part of the LGBTQ community in the comics.
The character is the original Captain Marvel in the comic book created by Stan Lee. The key difference: Comic book Mar-Vell is a male while movie Mar-Vell is female. According to directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the gender swap happened “very late” into development.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the brief scene has been cut from the film for its theatrical run in the Gulf country, removing the only explicitly LGBTQ+ scene in the Black Panther sequel. In the scene, Aneka kisses Ayo on the forehead.
In the comics, Aneka and Ayo (played in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever by Florence Kasumba) are two Midnight Angels - an elite strike force within the already-elite Dora Milaje. The two fall in love following the flooding of Wakanda at the hands of Namor (played in the MCU by Tenoch Huerta).
Wade Wilson's relationship with Valentine Vuong, a non-binary assassin introduced earlier in the series, becomes official in Deadpool #5. The following contains spoilers for Deadpool #5 from Marvel Comics.
Deadpool is one of many heroes in the Marvel universe that has managed to have numerous children throughout his comic career. Some of his most notable offspring have included a child he had with Lady Death named Deathpool and a son made from his and Wolverine's DNA named Junior.
While it is never addressed in-universe, MCU director Joe Russo confirmed Thanos was around 1000 years old in 2012's The Avengers when he first appeared in the MCU. Based on that, Thanos is younger than Thor and Loki, which, if revealed in one of the past two Avengers films, might have proven itself to be distracting.
After some quick conversions, it's revealed that with Thor being just over 1500 years old based on Avengers: Infinity War and Asgardians living for about 5000 years according to Thor: The Dark World, Thor would be closer to 24 years old in Asgardian years.
Janet van Dyne is the wife of Hank Pym and the mother of Hope van Dyne. She operated under the codename Wasp in S.H.I.E.L.D. until she sacrificed herself to disarm a Soviet ICBM bound for the United States in 1987, saving millions of lives but also becoming lost to the Quantum Realm.
Biography. The daughter of T'Chaka and half-sister of T'Challa, Shuri spent much of her life living in the shadows of men. However, after working to stop an invasion of Wakanda and helping her brother recover after Doctor Doom nearly killed him, Shuri stepped into the spotlight and became the Black Panther herself.
