Super: Where is the LGBTQ Ms. Marvel?

 

Superheroes meant a fantastic deal to my sense of lgbtq+ identity when I was growing up. The men were rarely drawn as sex symbols, but their athleticism and close male friendships were as shut to homoeroticism as the culture allowed me. The presence of strange outsider heroes like Cloak and Dagger, the X-Men, and even DP7, combined with the fantasy of superhuman champions fighting on behalf of the weak and oppressed, made superheroes integral to my sense of self-worth when everything else conspired to relate me I was worthless.

I still ponder there's something very queer about superheroes; the flamboyant costumes, the drag identities, the familial super-teams with their confidential clubhouses. I also think that the queer subtext ought to be more evident in the text, and while I'm often told to look for queer stories elsewhere in comics, I don't want to be pushed out of the spaces that matter to me.

Valkyrie is bisexual.

During Marvel Studio's Hall H panel at Comic-Con in , Tessa Thompson confirmed that her character, Valkyrie, will be openly queer in the upcoming film, "Thor: Adore and Thunder."

In the comics' "The Fearless Defenders" series, Valkyrie is clearly double attraction and has a bond with the female anthropologist Annabelle Riggs.

Thus far, despite Thompson's efforts, Valkyrie's queerness hasn't been made transparent onscreen. "Thor: Ragnarok" filmmakers cut a scene that included a woman walking out of Valkyrie's bedroom, which would have made her sexuality more explicit.

The most successful connected motion picture franchise ever, the MCU has broken ground in many ways. As they look to their future, they are trying to be more diverse and inclusive in their films. We’ve got female led films like Captain Marvel and the upcoming Black Widow solo prequel film. We’ve gotten LGBTQ+ representation in several films, including a trans personality in Spider-Man: Far From House and gay characters in the upcoming films, Thor: Love & Thunder and Eternals.

This is significant because the character in the comics has come out as lgbtq+, and thus will give the often times repressed community yet another positive representative on the screen. B
