The historical period we are experiencing is seeing female figures take up more and more space in wide-ranging cinematographic works, especially cinecomics. In home The Marvel movies, in this sense, something is starting to move, just look at the incredible success of the film Captain Marvel (first Marvel movie to have a female lead) or the iconic scene from Avengers: Endgame where all the Avengers gather to face the army of Thanos.
La Phase 4 will be opened by Black Widow, the first film dedicated solely to the Black Widow, and in the near future other films and TV series are planned where Girl Power will become more and more marked. B, the actress who plays Carol Denvers / Captain Marvel, a few months ago said:
Many MCU actresses went to Kevin and asked him to do a female Avengers. I don't know what this means. I can't predict the future of Marvel, but it's something we're passionate about and we believe that if fans are clamoring for it maybe it will actually happen.
Therefore assuming that this group of Female Avengers can take life and shape in the future, what could the components be?
Captain Marvel
As mentioned above, B he interpreted Carol Denvers in the first film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a woman as the protagonist. As much as the film was anything but memorable, it certainly was an important message and the audience paid off. Captain Marvel has indeed cashed one billion and 128 million dollars worldwide. As stated by Kevin Feige, Captain Marvel is the most powerful being in the whole MCU, surpassing even the fearsome Thanos in power. Definitely a great symbol of female emancipation, even if a minimum of humanization would not hurt to make the character a little more interesting. Surely she would be the one to lead a possible female team of the Avengers.
Black Widow
Although his appearance in future ensemble films of the The Marvel movies is somewhat unlikely, given that Black Widow he sacrificed himself in Endgame, the next film in which Scarlett Johansson will be the protagonist is making fans speculate. Some believe that the character could come back to life, but currently the odds of this happening are quite low (if the film Black Widow should not make a large cash, which could change Disney's mind in this regard). Aside from that, Black Widow was important to the fate of the MCU, being one of the original Avengers. Seeing her in an all-female team would be interesting, but for now it's just speculation.
Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff, first appeared in a cameo in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, she was also a member of the Avengers team in Age of Ultron and in subsequent ones Infinity War ed Endgame. According to some, Scarlet could become the new villain of the Avengers, also seen that in the comics the mutant (yes, in the comics she is a mutant), was also the cause of great disasters in the world (we recommend reading the comic series House of m). These remain, currently, only speculation, and Wanda still remains a potential member of an all-female Avengers team
Gamora
After dying in Infinity War, Gamora is back in Endgame, although we are talking about a version coming from another timeline. In any case, the Guardians of the Galaxy member is another suspect for being a member of this hypothetical female team. It remains to be seen whether the actress who plays the character, that is Zoe saldana, will have time to be able to participate in other Marvel-related projects in addition to the third chapter (or volume) of Guardians of the Galaxy. In fact, Zoe will be busy in the coming years with the sequels to Avatar (currently he is participating in the filming of the second and third chapter) without forgetting the new one Star Trek. Would you find the time for a similar project?
She-Hulk
Here we are at the first real news. The character of She-Hulk he never appeared in a movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but a TV series is currently in development exclusively for Disney +. Nothing is known about the series in question, not even who will be the actress who will cover the role. However, it would be interesting to see a superhero appearing in a TV series for the first time The Marvel movies in a choral film. She-Hulk would be the ideal choice in this regard.
Wasp
Hope van Dyne, interpreted by the fu Kate Austen di Lost Evangeline Lilly, has already appeared in the films of Ant-Man and in Endgame. In the comics Wasp (when his alter ego was Janet van Dyne), after collaborating with Iron Man, Hulk and Thor to defeat Loki, together with Ant-Man proposes to create a team of superheroes that the girl decides to baptize "Avengers". Could there be a similar dynamic in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well, but with Hope proposing the creation of a uniquely female group?
Jane Foster / Thor
Jane foster in the comics she was initially portrayed as the archetype of the damsel in distress, but in recent years the character has undergone a notable evolution. In fact, she went from being a nurse to becoming a doctor, and she even took on the role of Lady Thor after the original had lost the ability to lift Mjolnir. We know for sure that the next Thor movie, that is Love and Thunder, will see the Jane Foster of Natalie Portman become the new Thor. Could this really be the beginning of an all-female team?
Marvel Mutants (?)
As regards Storm, Jean gray, Arrogant and all other female members of the X-Men the situation is still shrouded in mystery. After the colossal commercial (and artistic) flop of Dark Phoenix, Disney seems to want to erase the management from the memory of fans Fox of the Mutants. However there is a lot of curiosity about it New Mutants, a film project that has had a somewhat troubled management and which will be released this year (except for further postponements). In the film we should see Illyana Rasputin / Magik, interpreted by Anya Taylor-Joy, Rahne Sinclair / Wolfsbane, interpreted by Maisie Williams, Danielle Moonstar / Mirage, interpreted by Blue Hunt. According to some, this film is supposed to introduce mutants to the Marvel universe in theaters. Will it really be so? What is certain is that before (re) seeing the classic X-Men it will still be a long time.
Who will we not (almost) surely see?
We certainly won't see Pepper Potts in the role of Rescue, which was glimpsed in the final battle of Endgame. In an interview with Variety a few months ago, the actress had made the following statements:
I'm a little old now [46 years] for that, that's all. I feel really lucky for what I did, because they actually dragged me into it at the beginning. I was friends with Jon Favreau [director of the first two Iron Man movies, editor's note]. Making the first Iron Man was a great experience, as was seeing how important the film has become to fans. […] Obviously if in the future they ask me 'Can you come back for a day?', I will always be there.
It will also be unlikely to see Jessica Jones, since the character was part of the (bankruptcy) management of Netflix of Marvel characters. Obviously it is practically impossible to see Peggy Carter, since it perishes in Civil War, Sif, which after the film Thor: The Dark World seems to have disappeared from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But of course, never say never!
