M-She-U Over? Avengers: Doomsday Promo Kick-Starts the Testosterone

by

Marvel showcased Avengers: Doomsday at a recent event in Italy, and fans quickly noticed the team members revealed on screen.

The list of actors is full of people we recognize, but everyone is talking about the notable absence of someone.

The image shows a lot of male characters, which has led to online discussion about whether Marvel is moving away from the female-focused direction some critics previously criticized the studio for taking.

Fans Point Out the Lack of Female Heroes

The promotional images feature actresses Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Florence Pugh, Letitia Wright, and Hannah John-Kamen, though there are significantly more male characters shown.

The news quickly spread on social media, leading fans to debate whether Marvel is going too far in the opposite direction after previously facing criticism for prioritizing female-led projects that weren’t always successful.

Adding to the concerns, rumors have been spreading for weeks that some of the female characters won’t be in the movie. Sources are saying Brie Larson, Tatiana Maslany, and Dominique Thorne might not appear, and there’s been a lot of discussion about Tatiana Maslany specifically, likely due to her public criticism of Disney executives and late-night personalities connected to the company.

A Strategic Pivot or Coincidence?

Marvel hasn’t officially confirmed anything, but recent reports about the cast, combined with other leaks, suggest a trend: the studio appears to be relying heavily on its most popular and well-known male actors for what’s expected to be its biggest movie since Endgame.

The recent Italy presentation seems to signal a change in direction, and many fans believe it marks the beginning of the end for the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ as we know it.

Marvel definitely sparked a lot of buzz, and now everyone’s wondering if the new trailer will change how people think about the movie. Reports say you’ll be able to see the Avengers: Doomsday trailer when Avatar: Fire and Ash comes out in December.
