The first transgender character in a Marvel movie will probably appear in a film released next year. Speaking at an event at the
New York Film Academy, Marvel president Kevin Feige said that a trans superhero would appear in a film “very soon, in a movie that we’re
shooting right now”. He said that more transgender characters will feature in the future.
Such a development was expected from the post-Avengers: Infinity War iteration of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with many expecting that the character will debut in Thor: Love and Thunder, released in 2021.
