Marvel To Reveal One Of Its Characters Is Gay In Upcoming Movie

  • Marvel Cinematic Universe will soon show one of its superheroes as gay.
  • The directors of Avengers; Endgame recently revealed that Marvel would soon take a major step for LGBTQ representation.
  • Director Joe Russo told his character in the Avengers was the first openly gay character in the Marvel project.
  • Last year, Kevin Feige, Marvel's producer told there would be two gay characters revealed in its upcoming movies; one known and another unknown to the fans.

One of the biggest film franchise, Marvel is to set a record for the highest grossing movie ever with this year's Avengers: Endgame and the directors of the movie have revealed something for its fans.

Directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo revealed the Marvel Cinematic Universe would soon represent one of its characters is gay, which they believe will be a major step for LGBTQ community.

Russo-brothers said on EW Morning Live that one of the characters already featured in Marvel project would be revealed as gay in an upcoming film.

The topic arose when hosts Dalton Ross and Jessica Shaw asked Joe about his cameo as a grieving gay man in a therapy session in the Avengers. Joe the said,

It was an integral scene to show how the world was reacting to what happened at the end of the Infinity War.

He further told the hosts his character was first "openly gay" in the Marvel franchise. Joe said,

There've been insinuations about other characters' sexuality, but this is the first openly gay character.

Shaw also asked Joe if there were other gay characters to which Joe responded saying: "We're going to find out!"

Last summer, Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios President told two openly gay characters to be unveiled, 'both ones you've seen and ones you haven't seen."

Where Joe Russo's character is considered one we hadn't seen before, there is someone we already know to come out of the closet, but who? For this, we might wait for a few months or Marvel makes another revelation.
