Captain Marvel Producer Responds to Fans’ Push for Gay Storyline
Mary Livanos, one of the producers for Captain Marvel, has responded the enormous online push for Captain Marvel and Valkyrie to have an onscreen romance.
Speaking to Comicbook.com, Livanos said she had been taking note of what the fans have been asking for: “There’s the Brie-Tessa Thompson love going on online which is fun to see.
“It’s so charming and so fun to see the actors themselves get excited about the potential mashup so that as a creative makes you start thinking.”
Previously Tessa Thompson, who plays Valkyrie, said she would be up for the romance: “The thing that has always inspired me so much about Marvel, about comics in general… is this idea that what makes you different is actually your superpower.
“We’re living inside of a robust time to be able to say to people that they can love who they want to love, they can be who they want to be. It’s perfect to include those narratives inside of this world.”
Brie Larson has also spoken up about the lack of gay super hero characters: “That breaks my heart to hear that, because there’s no reason.
“I don’t understand how you could think that a certain type of person isn’t allowed to be a superhero.
“So to me it’s like, we gotta move faster. But I’m always wanting to move faster with this stuff.”
