Marvel Might Come Out with an LGBT Character

President of Marvel studio, Kevin Feige, announced that there will be a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender character in the future. He made the announcement a few days after the Supreme Court’s ruling to legalize same-sex marriage. Not giving a particular time frame to the news, “So we always look at stuff that's happening in the comics and go, 'Where could we do that?' Sometimes it's sooner, but there's no reason why that couldn't happen in the next decade or sooner”.

According to Collider, Kevin said, “The comics always make the path that we get to have the fun of saying, 'Yeah let's choose this way or let's choose this way', and I think there are a lot of cool things happening in the comics now that - it's usually a five to ten-year cycle between when something happens in the comics and when we can do it in the movie, sometimes a little less, but Civil War is certainly about the ten-year mark. Winter Soldier, I think, was around that time”.

Stan Lee also made a comment on the issue earlier this month. He stated, “I have no problem with creating new, homosexual superheroes. It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that. Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it's so easy to add new characters. I say create new characters the way you want to. Hell, I'll do it myself".
