Ever since Captain Marvel was released, Marvel head Kevin Feige has promoted the idea that Marvel will in its next Phase advance the idea of more diversity in its films. Recent examples, beyond their successful Black Panther, and the aforementioned Captain Marvel movie will be their upcoming film the Eternal’s and Shang–Chi. The Eternals, which is being reported to include a gay lead character or their first Asian lead in Shang–Chi, will highlight Marvel’s new goal of inclusion.
In a recent interview with News18, Feige admitted that such decisions are not without risks, but Marvel wouldn’t have it any other way. They are especially excited to bring Shang–Chi into the MCU.
I think every movie that we do is a risk. We only want to do movies that people seem to think are risks. Doing the story of an Asian-American hero of Chinese heritage is something that is very intriguing to us. It will be really different and special. I hope audiences around the world respond to it in the same way they did to Steve Rogers…whether they have American flag or not.
Do you embrace Marvel’s Decisions for Phase 4 of the MCU? Are there any other characters that you would like to see that would show the diversity that Marvel is striving for? Share your choices and thoughts with us at GVNation.
