CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Merchandise To Have "A Big Focus" On Women & Diversity

"If Marvel wants to focus on Black Widow give us a damn solo movie, already..."

So I'll finally be able to buy my daughter some Avengers t-shirts that don't look like boys' shirts? She'll be so excited. She's so in love with superheroes and really anything that I like, that I feel bad that she can't have more stuff at her disposal.

O.T. but R.I.P Sir Christopher Lee. :(

WHAT?!!!

@NeoBaggins

This is awesome.

Ultron didn't kill Black Widow because he was crazy

Ultron needed an audience, he literally wanted to fight the Avengers.

He wasn't trying to avoid them, he wanted to show the Avengers that he was better then them, that he was better than Stark.

Ultron killing Black Widow on the spot would be out of character

Why rightly so ?

Black Widow never had her own movie and isn't even an A list character to start with.

If it's rightfully so, where wee the figurine of Catwoman ? She has been in thre movies already, in the past twenty five years, one of which, as the main character.

I get that there aren't enough female characters out there i CBM and as a woman an a black woman at that, i am happy about the effort put in it to diversify BUT until recently CBM were overwhelmingly a 'male thing' with few females interrested in them.

Nolan an Marvel movies are the ones that really start the whole mega appeal to a larger, femalish target. Now CBM is a thing because it appeals to the whole family.

That's just seven years ago that the trend to open it largerly started.

Now we have CA Civil War movie featuring three main Black characters, two main females.

You have to give time to things to settle.

Plus merchandise is a business. Most of the time, creators offer a product to the market if the demand is large enough to be consumed.

It seems that now is the best time to do it, 5 years after Black Widow appears for the first time in a Marvel movie and that the data they have confirmed that there is a target large enough to consume that product.

R.I.P., Count Dooku.

About time. Side note- Feige did say there were talks of a black widow movie.

@COR3Y
pretty sure i dont have a vagina but k

OMG! DC already came out and mentioned this like weeka ago. Looks like Marvel getting pretty desperate pretty fast. I mean lets face it, Black Widow is no Wonder Woman. Also, it looks bad when Marvel comes out to mention this now when they could of easily played the Female card years ago when Black Widow first showed up to the big screen. Too Little, Too Late Marvel SMH

@ WinterOstritch - none of that makes her a damsel in distress. People are just throwing around cliches and labels with no substance. Ultron kidnapped Widow for reasons that you must have missed. Its fairly obvious why she was kidnapped.

Took a while for Marvel to finally deal with this. Look up the merch surrounding the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Gamorra is missing from the group shots. They did it again with Age of Ultron and again recieved a couple buckets of shit on their doorstep.

Jazzy4:
Uhm, I have no idea what you're trying to say there.

Black Widow was notably missing from ALL the merchandise surrounding the last Avengers film and that created a lot of flack on Marvel which is why they're putting this out there.

There's loads of Catwoman figures of all her appearances. Even frickin' Halle Berry busts.

COR3Y:
Don't you think its incredibly stupid there's boxes of action figures out there with all the Avengers in them except for Black Widow? Feminism or not, that's bs.

Marvel remember you added another female to the team. I know it's hard to juggle just one but you can push it to two in the merchandising area.

@DrKinsolving

Pretty neat huh. I think there's actually even more to that series of pics.

@Floke

=(

I was mesmerized by Johansson in Iron Man 2. Every time she was on screen I was silly putty. I don't know what happened. But I think the only way I'd pay to see a solo Widow movie is if the story is super engaging, has powerful supporting cast and characters, a unique situation, and directed by

Jon Favreau.
