Some loved it, some found it clunky, but the all-women line-up moment in Avengers: Endgame was hard to ignore – especially as it highlighted the MCU’s growing roster of superpowered women, while also indicating that there’s plenty more that can be done with them. Post-Captain Marvel, and with Black Widow on the way next year, Marvel Studios has finally moved into female-fronted comic book movies – and according to Carol Danvers herself, Brie Larson, a team-up movie focusing on Marvel’s women isn’t out of the question.
Asked by Variety about the prospect of an ‘all-female Marvel film’, Larson claimed there’s an appetite for something along those lines among the women in the MCU. “I will say that a lot of the female cast members from Marvel walked up to Kevin [Feige] and we were like, ‘We are in this together, we want to do this,'” she said. “What that means, I have no idea. You know, I’m not in charge of the future of Marvel, but it is something that we’re really passionate about and we love and I feel like if enough people out in the world talk about how much they want it, maybe it’ll happen.”
In 2015, Marvel Comics debuted its all-female team called A-Force, notably led by She-Hulk – a character who’s set to be introduced into the MCU in the coming years in a Disney+ streaming series. Other characters who have been part of A-Force include Captain Marvel, as well as Singularity, Dazzler, Nico Minoru, and the Inhumans’ Medusa.
With Marvel’s Phase 4 slate bringing in new heroes like Shang-Chi and The Eternals on the big screen, Disney+ conjuring up a whole load of new MCU shows, and plenty of existing heroes waiting on sequels, the franchise is juggling a lot right now. But considering how successfully the studio has assembled its heroes into team-ups before, an all-female team could be, ahem, a-force to be reckoned with. Stay tuned.
