Feige: LGBT Character May Appear in Marvel Movie in 'Next Decade or Sooner'

Speaking at the recent ANT-MAN press day, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Collider that he "would think" an LGBT character will appear in a Marvel film "in the next decade or sooner".

Explained Feige, "The comics always make the path that we get to have the fun of saying, 'Yeah let's choose this way or let's choose this way', and I think there are a lot of cool things happening in the comics now that - it's usually a five to ten-year cycle between when something happens in the comics and when we can do it in the movie, sometimes a little less, but Civil War is certainly about the ten-year mark. Winter Soldier, I think, was around that time."

He continued, "So we always look at stuff that's happening in the comics and go, 'Where could we do that?' Sometimes it's sooner, but there's no reason why that couldn't happen in the next decade or sooner."

Marvel's ANT-MAN, starring Paul Rudd, hits theaters on July 17, 2015
