Amid the speculations of a gazillion characters coming in and at least a one-fourth of them getting their spin-offs, there is one more update and it is safe to call it a revolutionary one. If the grapevine is to be believed now, Marvel is planning to introduce an openly gay superhero who will be leading a project. Read on to know all the details you must about this update.

Yes, you read that right, an openly gay character in the centre of a Marvel film. The studio has been on the receiving end of criticism for the lack of LGBTQ+ representation in the universe. It is not that there have been no characters from the community. Joe Russo in Avengers: Endgame made a cameo as a gay character.

Now if the reports in We Got This Covered are to go by, the studio seems to have taken the LGBTQ+ representation factor seriously and are taking steps to assure it’s done right. As per Daniel Richtman’s intel, Marvel is planning a movie with an openly gay character leading the show. There is no update on which character will be the one to take this ahead.
