Marvel Producer: Queer Characters Are Coming to Marvel Films

by
Marvel Avengers

A Marvel film boss has addressed the “frustration” about the failure to include visible LGBT characters in the film universe. Despite featuring hundreds of characters across its 20 blockbuster films to date, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has never featured a visible LGBT character, despite many in the source comic books on which the films are based.  Several of the films, including Thor: Ragnarok, did have characters who were intended to be LGBT – but all references to their sexuality have unfailingly ended up on the cutting room floor. It has been alleged that Disney bosses are concerned that … Read more

Juliet - With A Kiss I Die

Bisexual representation, vampires, and a Greek island: With A Kiss I Die has it all. In the movie, premiering on 28 August, the Juliet we all know and love has fangs, sucks blood and is bisexual. Yes, this is definitely a lot to process for Shakespeare’s purists, but let’s look at the bright side. The tragedy of Romeo & Juliet has undergone several movie adaptations throughout the years – from Franco Zeffirelli’s classic film to Baz Luhrmann’s extravaganza – but this will be the first time Verona’s heroine is a bisexual woman.

Unicorns are amazing: it’s pretty safe to say that is a fact. Unicorns, however, also happen to be legendary creatures whose existence have been questioned by many. Just like bisexuals, we dare to say. Talia Squires, editor-in-chief at Bi.org and creator of the Unicorn Scale, agrees. The Unicorn Scale ‘explores the quality of bi representation in film and television’ and it does so in an entertaining way. Squires reviews movies and TV shows focusing on bisexual storylines and assigning from one to four unicorns. ‘Siskel and Ebert have thumbs, Leonard Maltin has stars, I wanted unicorns. The bi community has … Read more
