Marvel Studios has added an increasing number of characters and representational moments with each subsequent production. After the release of "Black Panther" in 2018, when Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of T'Challa, King of Wakanda, made the character an identifying reference within the racial depiction, this inclusion became even more obvious.
It is no accident that Marvel unveiled "O Poder É Nosso," the first project created for the Brazilian public based on the values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, at the start of the second semester. The project, which was developed by a multidisciplinary team of the company in Brazil and the affinity group T'Challa, which is made up of black company employees, aims to support new venues that appreciate and publicise the work of black artists.
Under the guidance of stylist Jal Vieira, the artists bold Crica Masai, Luna, and DGOH were asked to rework the characters Black Panther, Tempest, Miles Morales, Mulheres de Wakanda, and Falco for the campaign's initial phase. The arts were translated into a style manual that, at first, appeared in an exclusive collection with C&A. It is now available in stores together with other unique acts.
In addition, there are additional depictions that emphasise diversity and are featured in the studio's big projects, beyond comics and being displayed on screens. Examples of this include the standalone "Captain Marvel" movie, which emphasises female representation; "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," which features a diverse cast of ethnic and cultural origins; and "Eternal," which raises significant problems of gender and accessibility.
In light of this, we've divided a few inclusive scenes from Marvel films. Look at!
1. Black Panther (2018)
The defining phrase "Wakanda Forever" was introduced to viewers through the first instalment of the Black Panther franchise, which came out in 2018. The iconic "war cry" shows protection for its people and emphasises the diversity of cultures and races in addition to providing a black protagonist hero (Chadwick Boseman) in a fantastic representational way.
2. Daredevil (2015)
Matt Murdock, played by Charlie Coxi, is just a "ordinary" lawyer with a visual impairment, but at night, he uses his senses as a vigilante in one of the first Marvel Studios series ever made with powerful fight scenes that demonstrate to the audience that his abilities go beyond the disability.
3. Captain Marvel (2019)
Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, who was the first female lead in the MCU, introduced moviegoers to Carol Danvers. The strongest heroine in the trilogy is showcased in famous action scenes, and the movie champions female empowerment by using her strong quotes like "I don't have to prove anything."
4. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
The character of Peter Parker (Tom Holland) frets about how Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) would use the jewels against an army as he hands Thanos' gauntlet to the superhero. Wanda, Pepper, Mantis, Walkiria, and Shuri then appear and join her, letting her know she is not alone and providing one of the most powerful #GirlPower sequences in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).
Another crucial sequence in the movie depicts Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) in his final moments as Captain America handing over his iconic shield to Sam Wilson/Hawk (Anthony Mackie) and presenting him as the next Captain America, the first black actor to portray the iconic role on screen. In "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," a Disney+ original series, the narrative was continued.
5. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
In "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" (2021), Simu Liu plays Shang-Chi, the son of the head of a significant criminal organisation who was brought up as a warrior but later chose to live a peaceful life. That all changes, though, when he is attacked by some assassins and is compelled to confront his past. For the first time in a Marvel Studios picture, the movie emphasises Asian-American culture and gives viewers a better understanding of Chinese culture.
6. Loki (2021)
Even though he was sometimes viewed as a villain, Tom Hiddleston's Loki was already a well-liked figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the god of deceit further won over the audience with his series, which was exclusively available on Disney+, by including significant scenes and moments that celebrate LGBTQIA+ diversity.
For instance, Loki comes out as bisexual in the third episode, "Lamentis," when Sylvie brings up his former relationships and inquires as to whether he, as the prince of Asgard, has already discovered "a contender for princess... or another prince." "A touch of both," Loki responds.
7. Eternals (2021)
Marvel's first openly gay character initially appeared in the November 2021 film "Eternals," which also featured the first openly gay kiss ever to be seen on cinema. The scene, which features your husband (Haaz Sleiman) and the character Phastos (played by Brian Tyree Henry), emphasises the couple's love and provides greater LGBTQIA+ audience representation.
The actress's Makkari, who is Marvel's first hearing-impaired superhero, is another character who promotes diversity and inclusiveness in "Eternals." Additionally deaf Lauren Ridloff.
8. Black Widow (2021)
In July 2021, the Disney+ original film "Black Widow" made its debut. It depicts the story of Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), the Black Widow from "Avengers" onwards, and is a fan favourite. Similar to "Captain Marvel," the movie has key moments that promote female protagonism and empowerment by portraying the highly skilled Russian spy and martial arts master as a genuine heroine with her emotions, vulnerabilities, and strength.
9. Ms. Marvel (2022)
The viewer is introduced to Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), the first Muslim and Pakistani heroine created by Marvel Studios, in the freshly launched Disney+ series "Ms. Marvel." Important moments in the play try to debunk Muslim preconceptions in a humorous and insightful manner by showcasing their culture. The existence of a diverse cast and crew, as well as a significant female presence, adds to the variety of "Ms. Marvel."
10. Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
With "Thor: Love and Thunder" just hitting theatres, the public's hunger for Tessa Thompson's portrayal of the character Walkiria has somewhat diminished. Walkiria is determined to come out as a lesbian in the movie and to show off her strong personality as one by always including amusing dialogue and events that advance the plot.
