Marvel producer promises more LGBT+ characters are coming to the MCU

Victoria Alonso, Marvels executive vice president of film production, has promised more queer representation will be coming to the MCU. Alonso was asked by Variety if the LGBT+ representation seen in its Disney Plus spin-off series Loki was a sign that more inclusivity may be coming to the wider cinematic universe.

She responded that representation takes time because Marvel has so many stories that we can tell. However, she promised the comic book and film franchise will empower different narratives by showing the world who these people are, who these characters are.

Theres a lot that we have coming up that I think will be representative of the world of today, Alonso promised. Were not going to nail it in the first movie or the second movie or third movie, or the first show or second show, but we will do our best to consistently try to represent.

Marvel fans have widely praised Loki for its brazen queer representation. The titular character, Loki, is canonically bisexual after he revealed in the series that he has had love interests of both genders.

Loki


Phastos from The Eternals


Valkyrie from Thor: Love and Thunder


Hulking and Wiccan from Young Avengers

Eternals will no doubt be the most bold.

Phastos and his husband kiss in the upcoming Eternals. Everyone cried on set.

Its a beautiful, very moving kiss, Sleiman says. Everyone cried on set. For me its very important to show how loving and beautiful a queer family can be. Brian Tyree Henry is such a tremendous actor and brought so much beauty into this part, and at one point I saw a child in his eyes, and I think its important for the world to be reminded that we in the queer community were all children at one point. We forget that because were always depicted as sexual or rebellious. We forget to connect on that human part.

Hopefully this means digging deeper into their roster and pulling out characters that actually have these orientations rather than just arbitrarily changing ones.

I'd much rather marvel do a hulkling and wiccan story then do something like change the fantastic four to make Johnny gay.

I'll believe it when I see it. And I mean proper representation. This is the third or fourth time Disney has promised this in a press release or to the news, and it turns out to be a single shot of two same-sex people kissing or a single irrelevant character.

The last time they told us the MCU would have a gay character, the result just ended up pissing off a lot of people. It doesn't pique my interest because they've said this before, and I feel like they're going to half-ass it again.

Don't care. Be lgbtq+ or not, I don't give a shit. Give me good storytelling and world building and I'm all yours. If said character loses their love interest, I want it heart wrenching, not some 'these charcters shared two mintues of screen time and you're supposed to give a crap because they follow your gender identity.'

I don't watch movies for sex scenes. That's what porn is for.

This is why they're always so insignificant. There were gay characters in Frozen 2, The Rise of Skywalker, and Endgame, and they were all kept short enough so they could be edited out of various foreign markets.

He outright said he banged dudes. If they follow mythology, bisexual isn't broad enough to describe Loki.

I always picture the scene in Boogie Nights where the main guy's doing his first scene, absolutely pounding away at the girl, and the focus is solely on the ugly, bored people sitting behind the camera.

Did you ever think this would happen 10 years ago?

Yes, 100 percent.

Id say even before that because there were already characters here and there who were gay or bi. Midnighter from The Authority is probably my favorite character, who happens to be gay, and they were very open about his sexuality in the early issues at least. That was like 20+ years ago.

I did think that the inclusion of many gay characters wouldnt happen until it was much more widely accepted, though. These comic book companies are mainly interested in sales IMO, so them waiting shouldnt surprise us.

Passively saying he finds some dudes attractive does not mean he outrang bangs them. We haven't even found evidence Loki even banged women.
