Marvel May Finally Be Giving Fans a Leading Gay Movie Hero
Marvel Studios is trying to keep their string of history-making firsts going. After the massive success of Black Panther and their first female-led superhero movie, Captain Marvel, hitting theaters this month, reports are floating around that Marvel may be breaking another barrier with their first openly gay superhero for The Eternals in 2020. According to That Hashtag Show, an anonymous source over at Marvel says they’re looking for an openly gay actor of any ethnicity to bring into the MCU.
As part of Marvel’s effort to spark new potential franchises, The Eternals will introduce the lesser-known group of superheroes from Jack Kirby's 1970s comics, who are part-human part-immortal beings, created five million years ago by divine entities known as the Celestials. Marvel's looking for someone 30-49 that looks the superhero part, That Hashtag Show reports, which basically means the first gay Marvel lead is going to be a swoll zaddy. Since none of the original characters in The Eternals were gay, it’s unknown whether they'll introduce a new character or alter an existing one, the report explains.
