<p>Disney+ has welcomed popular drag queen Shea Couleé to the streaming service for its upcoming Marvel series about a teen superhero in &#8220;Ironheart,&#8221; coming to the site in 2023.</p>
<p>The 33-year-old, born Jaren Kyei Merrell, spoke to <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1341435/how-rupaul-s-drag-race-alum-shea-coulee-is-shaking-up-the-marvel-cinematic-universe?utm_source=eonline&amp;utm_medium=rssfeeds&amp;utm_campaign=imdb_topstories">E! News</a> about getting the part and used the words &#8220;impactful&#8221; and &#8220;sexy&#8221; to describe the show about a 15-year-old superhero. The series stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, who &#8220;creates the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man,&#8221; a description on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13623126/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">IMDb</a> reads.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really so humbling to be able to crossover into a much more mainstream avenue, and push the needle forward as far as drag is concerned, in the way that it&#8217;s consumed and in pop culture,&#8221; Couleé explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m so deeply excited for everyone to see what this role is, what it entails and everything it is.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone at Marvel has been so unbelievably open and receptive to my experiences and my expertise about drag,&#8221; Shea added. &#8220;And they&#8217;ve allowed me to really come in to the [Marvel Cinematic Universe] and put my very specific Shea Coulee print on the Marvel Universe.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be really impactful,&#8221; Couleé continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be so smart and creative and clever and funny, and sexy. And so, so, so, so Chicago.&#8221;</p>
<p>The winner of &#8220;RuPaul&#8217;s Drag Race&#8221; also recently celebrated their involvement with Disney by tweeting, &#8220;strutting out of the Werkroom&#8221; and into Marvel.</p>

<p>In addition to the site&#8217;s latest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/not-at-all-secret-gay-agenda-disney-employees-break-down-adding-queerness-to-shows-and-degenderizing-theme-parks">woke push</a>, Disney appears to have gone back on its previous promise only to include content that was PG-13 or softer after recently adding R-rated films to the site, as <a href="https://spectator.org/disney-drag-queens-r-rated-features/?fs=e&amp;s=cl">The American Spectator</a> noted.</p>
<p>In 2019, before the streaming site launched, a reporter asked a Disney representative if the site would ever carry R-rated films and was told no.</p>
<p>&#8220;I asked about R-rated content, if any of Fox&#8217;s more adult fare will make it on to Disney+ and he said that Disney+ will all be PG-13 or softer,&#8221; Eric Vespe <a href="https://twitter.com/EricVespe/status/1165350604346052609?s=20&amp;t=Kd-5NPs_Rr8YPkb0jYxxfw">tweeted</a> at the time. &#8220;I wonder if this will be their weakness that other streaming services can exploit.&#8221;</p>
<p>In July, Disney+ added Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan, the Spectator noted.</p>
