Does Black Panther’s Success Open the Door for a Queer Superhero?

by
Black Panther

Hollywood is celebrating the remarkable breakthrough box office performance of Marvel’s Black Panther, the first entry in the popular Marvel Cinematic Universe to feature a black leading character, and indeed, a mostly-black cast. Part of the shock and awe felt within the industry when it comes to Black Panther comes from the history of black superheroes in films: There just aren’t very many, and even fewer with memorable films. Spawn anyone? Steel? Meteor Man? They hardly qualify as cinematic classics, and can’t even come close to the fun and style of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. All of which raises another question: What about queer superheroes?

New Deadpool 2 Trailer

The trailer for Deadpool 2 has finally been released. There is  a new antagonist in the shape of the time-travelling guns-blazing Cable. Secretly the child of Scott Summers (Cyclops) and the Phoenix (Jean Grey), Cable is set to be a hilarious foil for the quippy anti-hero played by Ryan Reynolds. Fitting the fourth-wall breaking of the first film, Deadpool throws some major shade at DC. ‘Why are the visual effects not done? It’s a metal arm! It’s not like we’re trying to remove a mustache!’ he says. This is in reference to the poor attempts to remove Henry Cavil’s mustache … Read more
