Update : Kevin Feige saysMCU will soon have more female heroes than male heroes .
Tessa Thompson has reveal which other Marvel Cinematic Universe actors help her to set up an all - female MCU motion picture to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige . Thompson , who costars as the warrior Valkyrie inThor : Ragnarok(which is already playing in field overseas ) , had previously revealed that she and several others had pitched anall - female Marvel superhero filmto Feige , but neglected at the time to mention who else was involved with the meeting .
It turn out that several female MCU stars were involve in hawk the idea to Feige , include Scarlett Johansson ( who plays Natasha Romanoff aka . Black Widow ) and the three female leads in theGuardians of the Galaxymovies ; Zoe Saldana ( Gamora ) , Karen Gillan ( Nebula ) , and Pom Klementieff ( Mantis ) . Even Brie Larson , who has yet to make her onscreen debut as Carol Danvers aka . Captain Marvelin the MCU , was part of the group effort .
Speaking toCBR , Thompson confirmed the name of everyone affect in making the all - female superhero movie pitch . She also excuse how the idea evolved from being a sequence in next year’sAvengers : Infinity War- one that pairs the many female superheroes of the MCU together - to an entire motion picture , in and of itself :
“ I think in that chemical group was Brie Larson , myself , Zoe Saldana , although she track down off to the bathroom , I call up , so she come midway through the rake but she had been in the rev - up to it . Scarlett Johansson . Pom [ Klementieff ] and Karen [ Gillan ] , who are both in the Guardians flick . Yeah , I think it was that grouping . We were just sort of all in a semicircle talking , and it just come up , because none of us really worked together – well , I suppose Zoe , and Karen , and Pom – and would n’t it be courteous if we could all run together ?
“ And we were sort of speculating on they ways in which it might take place in Infinity War , or might not happen , ” she continued . “ And we thought , ‘ No , we should just have a whole moving picture where we know every day we ’re going to arrive and get to work together . ’ So we just run in good order up to Kevin Feige and start talking about it . ”
Thompson neglected to elaborate on how successful their lurch was , but did praise Feige for being unfastened to considering thought from his collaborationist :
“ That ’s the affair that ’s so wild about Kevin is you always get general interest from him . At least when you originate speaking , and then you might get 10 minute of arc in , and you sense that maybe something is not as exciting . But no , he ’s really open to collaboration and want to hear what we ’re concerned in . ”
The ongoing Phase 3 of the MCU is only slate to let in one flick headline by a distaff superhero ( Captain Marvel ) , as well as one atomic number 27 - headline by a future female Avenger ( Ant - Man and the Wasp ) , but after that it ’s clear season as far as where the franchise will go next . While the long - proposedBlack Widowsolo filmmight be a long jibe for Phase 4 of the MCU ( at least , a version that stars Johansson ) , there are several other rooter - favorite Marvel Comics fictitious character line up and ready to headline a pic of their own . That inclination includes America Chavez aka . Miss America , a character that actors likeBrooklyn Nine - Nine’sStephanie BeatrizandJane the Virgin’sGina Rodriguezhave show interest in playacting , multiple time now .
It ’s unremarkably accept that Marvel Studios need more female superheroes leading their movies , with even something like the raunchy TV gameSouth Park : The Fractured But Wholehaving holler outMarvel ’s movie sexismnow . Even by the timeCaptain Marvelhits theaters in early 2019 , younger cinematic superhero universes like the DC Comics and Sony ’s Marvel movie franchises will have both released installments solo headlined by female characters ( seeWonder WomanandSilver & Black , severally ) . An all - distaff superhero escapade , like what Thompson and the other slope , would sure enough help in this respect and could take on a variety of forms , at that ( for instance , a motion picture boast the all - distaff comic book team Lady Liberators ) .
