Marvel’s New Warriors TV series allegedly canceled for being “too gay” – Gay Times Magazine
Back in 2020, Leob was accused of displaying racist behaviour on the set of Netflix’s Iron Fist series.
However, the Courgartown creator clarified his initial statement by denying Leob’s involvement in the decision making process.
Biegel’s tweets come two months after Marvel executive Victoria Alonso said more queer stories were on the horizon.
She told Variety: “It takes time, we have so many stories that we can tell.
“We will empower those that are. We’re not changing anything. We’re just showing the world who these people are, who these characters are… There’s a lot that we have coming up that I think will be representative of the world of today.
“We’re not going to nail it in the first movie or the second movie or third movie, or the first show or second show, but we will do our best to consistently try to represent.”
So far the only LGBTQ+ superhero in the MCU is Tom Hiddleston’s beloved Asgardian trickster, Loki.
Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie from Thor: Ragnarok would’ve made history as the first, but a scene confirming her bisexuality was, for some reason, edited out of the film.
Valkyrie’s queerness will be further explored, however, in Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). During Marvel’s Hall H panel at Comic-Con, Thompson said her character – who Thor crowned the new king of Asgard – will “need to find her queen”.
The highly-anticipated Zoe Chao-directed Eternals (2021) will also introduce a character called Phastos, played by Brian Tyree Henry, who will be the first superhero to be depicted as gay in a Marvel film.
