Marvel Studios set to feature first transgender character

In an interview with the New York Film Academy, Marvel Studio boss Kevin Feige said that the comic book movie house would be adding a number of diverse characters in upcoming films.

Responding to a question specifically about transgender representation in the Marvel universe, Feige assured the audience that the first transgender character would appear shortly in a new film.

“Yes, absolutely. Yes,” Feige, 46, said. “And very soon. In a movie that we’re shooting right now.”

Marvel has previously confirmed that its new production of The Eternals would feature gay and deaf superheroes.
