Of the 10 highest-billed characters for Avengers: Infinity War, all but one (Scarlett Johansson?s Black Widow) are played by male actors. That?s not a great look for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which only released its first movie (and 20th overall) with a female character in the title earlier this year. But Captain Marvel, starring Brie Larson and co-written and -directed by Anna Boden, is coming in 2019, and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige promised more female-led superheroes movies will be ?announced in the near future.?
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Feige said that he?s ?anxious for the time? when it?s no longer a big deal for a superhero movie to star a woman, ?but it is a norm. And it is less a story of, ?Oh, look, a female hero,? and it?s more a story of, ?Oh, what?s this about? Who?s this character? I?m excited to see that.? And I think we can get there.? Of course, considering he?s the boss of the MCU, Feige could have made, say, a Black Widow movie already, but baby steps.
But why has it taken this long for Captain Marvel (or something like it)? ?I think there are a lot of reasons, not the least of which was fighting for many years the erroneous notion that audiences did not want to see a female-led hero [film] because of a slew of films 15 years ago that didn?t work,? Feige said. ?And my belief was always that they didn?t work not because they were female-led stories ? they didn?t work because they were not particularly good movies.?
