Marvel is not best known for its female representation. So when it was hinted that the Endgame would feature an all-female squad fans were very excited.

What should the Marvel Cinematic Universe work on?
The forthcoming releases of Black Widow and Disney+ series like WandaVision, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk indicates that the franchise is heading in the right direction. But this wouldn’t be enough. Movies are just a representation of our mindset as a society and the lack of female superheroes certainly has shown that we are not as open-minded as we think.
We hope this news made you more informed!
