Hype Over Feminist ‘Captain Marvel’ Eclipsed By Buzz About ‘A Gay Marvel Character That Doesn’t Exist (Yet)’

But the “big feminist movie” that star Brie Larson said she pressured the studio to create is already being eclipsed by an even more important Marvel film based on a script that hasn’t been written yet about a character who, Esquire reminds us, “doesn’t exist (yet).”

In a piece based on an online “rumor,” Esquire tells us about Marvel’s newest (hypothetical) film that will certainly generate far more buzz than “Captain Marvel,” if/when it is ever made.
