Captain Marvel Is Officially Queer: Marvel's New Hero Reveals Their LGBTQ+ Identity
Marvel's recent Captain Marvel is among the publisher's most mighty queer superheroes of all time, as they show their romantic past with lesbian hero America Chavez. Hailing from the 61st century, the new Captain Marvel leads a brand-new version of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who have traveled back through time to ensure the creation of the "post-scarcity, post-imperialist paradise-in-progress" from which they originate.
In Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Federico Blee and Travis Lanham's The Ultimates #8, the Ultimates go up against the new Guardians of the Galaxy, made up of new versions of Star-Lord, Cosmo, Ultimate Nullifier, and Captain Marvel. It turns out that they're on a mission to store Ultimates member America Chavez, who was originally part of their group and in a relationship with Captain Marvel.
Sadly, America's memories of her past own been excised by the regime of the vile Maker, who was using America as a force source until the Ultimates staged a rescue mission. While America is unwilling to rekindle a bond she no longer remembers, the Ultimates and Guardians leave on

Valkyrie is bisexual.
During Marvel Studio's Hall H panel at Comic-Con in 2019, Tessa Thompson confirmed that her character, Valkyrie, will be openly queer in the upcoming film, "Thor: Love and Thunder."
"As new king [of Asgard], she needs to find her queen," Thompson said.
In the comics' "The Fearless Defenders" series, Valkyrie is clearly bisexual and has a relationship with the female anthropologist Annabelle Riggs.
Thus far, despite Thompson's endeavors, Valkyrie's queerness hasn't been made eliminate 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.
"In the canon, yeah, she is bisexual," Thompson told Variety. "You see her with both women and men, so that was my intention in playing her."

'Captain Marvel' producer explains why we didn't find out the superhero's sexual identity in her movie
March's "Captain Marvel" left fans wondering whether or not Carol Danvers may be the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first openly gay or bi character. (After "Endgame," we know that's no longer the case.)
Why didn't the film travel her sexuality? INSIDER was told there wasn't any time for it in the movie's two-hour run time.
"Speaking to Captain Marvel, in that installment, that was a movie about self-discovery and Carol re-finding herself. So, in executing the film, we felt there wasn't room in the narrative to tell that story," "Captain Marvel" producer and Marvel Studios director of production and development, Mary Livanos, told INSIDER at the espnW Summit in New York City Wednesday.
"Captain Marvel" is an origin story for Carol Danvers who was born on Earth, but lived with Kree aliens on another space body after gaining superhero powers and being forced to forget her former life. Still, after the movie's release, many fans believed Danvers' friendship with fellow Breeze Force pilot Maria Rambeau may be more than platonic.

A Gay Captain Marvel Could Be The MCU's Biggest Remark on Diversity
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has made it clear that linear storytelling and inclusivity will be an even bigger part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the wake of the Infinity Saga. We've seen some of this already, of course, from Black Panther's "Wakanda Forever" being embraced globally, and how audiences have greeted the message of feminism in Captain Marvel.
Of course, the Brie Larson-helmed film has opened the door for the studio to make an even bigger expression by presenting the novel face of the MCU as a straight-up LGBT character.

Larson has already playfully stoked these flames on social media, enthusiastically sharing fan art of her and Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie in a romantic lock-up. Valkyrie is bisexual person in the MCU, though we haven't seen it on-screen, and there's something deeper to mine here than mere 'shipping. Why can't the strongest Avenger out there, the one who's leading the new era of Marvel movies, be gay?
Fans have already found hidden context in Captain Marvel that has led them to theo
