Russell T. Davies is ready for a gay Marvel’s superhero!
During the PinkNews Awards in London last Wednesday night the Queer as Folk creator was asked by BANG Showbiz if he could ever see himself as a part of the Marvel Universe. Davies responded saying that he would love to but under one condition: if he were allowed to write a script with a gay superhero.
”If they want to make a gay superhero: properly gay, not just a nice little character in the background, I would be there. I could write it, I could write it like a demon,” he said. We would like to see it!
Davies statement comes in an increasing push for LGBTQ+ visibility within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In July it was revealed that Valkyrie (played by Tessa Thompson) would be the franchises first openly LGBTQ+ superhero in the upcoming Thor: Love And Thunder. In that film she will search for her queen.
Davies accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award during the event in which he condemned Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson for their attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.
