Fearless Defenders debuted in 2013 under the Marvel NOW! banner with a debut issue that saw Misty Knight and Valkyrie team up to start an all-female band of heroes. A-Force debuted two years later during Secret Wars and was a thinly-veiled take on DC Comics; Wonder Woman and the Amazons of Themyscria that quickly grew into something all its own.
With recent chatter of a potential MCU film that would see the superheroines of the cinematic universe leave the boys at home, is it possible that one of these teams could be reconfigured using the MCU's roster? When asked about the potential of such a historic event, Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige stated:
"It is an embarrassment of riches. Even watching the audience at the Black Panther premiere respond to Lupita, Letitia, and certainly Danai in their action sequences … you watch Danai spinning around in that casino, taking out dozens of people, and you go, ‘Of course you can make a whole movie about that!’
Feige added, “It is all about figuring out when and how. But by the way, many of them have already filmed additional scenes in upcoming movies, so some of that is gonna come sooner rather than later. All of them will be seen again.”
With Captain Marvel set to drop her '90s MCU prequel in March 2019 and a long-awaited Black Widow solo film in the works, is the future female for the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
