Marvel gay superhero

It may have only been a 12 second moment, but it was enough to get the film banned in Saudi Arabia. She wears a Pride flag pin on her denim jacket, which also has "amor es amor" written on it. Below is a list of all the queer super heroes and villains in the MCU so far (and a few hopeful guestimates based on their comic background).

You might not know it from watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, but the world of of Disney's Marvel comic books is incredibly queer. Of course, we do not know how gender and sexuality works in whatever universe the characters are from, but we can safely assume they are a lesbian couple.

This translates to "love is love," a much used Pride slogan. Just enough to start building something real.

This set up expectations that were never going to be met by this brief scene where a man in a therapy group talks about his grief over losing his male partner in The Blip. In other words, sorry Deadpool: Until one of your directors is actually brave enough to confirm your pansexuality on film, you are not making the list.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was fairly slow in introducing LGBTQ+ characters —though seeing as even the most chaste representations of queer love get the films banned in some countries. Though the film came out in the UAE, many of its neighboring nations banned it, leading Sleiman to tell Variety"[Disney] stood their ground and said, 'Nope, we are not going to compromise the integrity of our film'.

Though not in the MCU at the time, Disney's subsequent purchase of Fox and announcement that Deadpool 3 is in development technically makes these two mutants the first lesbian couple in the multiverse at the very least. It made these Arab countries look so ignorant and pathetic.

Avengers: Endgame made the mistake of trumpeting that it had the MCU's first gay character before the film came out. The character, played by the movie's co-director Joe Russo, does not even have a name. Loki had long been bisexual in the comics, but it took until his spin-off TV series for this to be confirmed on screen.

They also get one of the most explicit references to their sexuality—we even see them SHOCK hold hands and say they are a couple. It also counts out a character like Valkyrie, who actor Tessa Thompson said was bisexual, and yet this was not referenced in Thor: Ragnarok though apparently will be in Thor: Love and Thunderso we wait and see.

Eternals may have been the first Marvel movie to get a "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoesbut it did provide the MCU with its first male-male couple Phastos is also the franchise's first out gay superhero, and the pair share the franchise's first gay kiss and one of the few kisses in general in the MCU.

Though his partner Ben does not get much screen time, his casting makes a bold statement. Not exactly what the community meant when they said that "representation matters. Or perhaps another prince? By "confirmed," we mean that there is an explicit reference to their sexuality in the film, or the actor who plays them has confirmed their character is a member of the community.

However, the character was Marvel's first out lesbian to lead a comic book series, and her sexuality is referred to in two ways in the film. When we flashback to how America Chavez discovered her powers, we learned that she was raised my two moms.

Marvel's latest superhero, who made her debut in Doctor Strange 2does not mention her sexuality out loud—Disney was likely squeamish about having a year-old character discuss their sexuality too openly.

This was revealed in a conversation between Loki Tom Hiddleston and one of his multiverse equivalents, Sylvie Sophia Di Martinowhere they discuss their dating history. The MCU is of course fairly sexless in general, but any mentions of queer sexualities have tended to be very brief, the better to allow Disney to easily cut out these scenes in more homophobic markets.

However, films like Eternals and Deadpool 2 have shown how more positive change could be made.
