JUMANJI Star Karen Gillan Agrees That Now Is The Right Time For An All-Female Marvel Studios Movie
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star Karen Gillan is the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe actress to point out that now is the right time for the studio to release an all-female superhero movie...
Thanks to the success of Wonder Woman earlier this year, the door may finally open to more female-led superhero movies. We know that the likes of Captain Marvel and Silver & Black are already in the works but there are many other characters deserving of the spotlight. However, how cool would it be to see the women of the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally team-up for an epic adventure?
Well, it turns out that Doctor Who alum Karen Gillan joined Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Pom Klementieff (Mantis) and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) when they pitched the idea of a female-led team-up to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige.
"Brie Larson was like, ‘We should go up to Kevin Feige and tell him to make an all-female Marvel movie,’ so we marched up there in a group, a whole herd of us, and said that to him," the actress explains. "He was like, ‘Yeah, that would be amazing!’ but he didn’t really commit to it, but he thought it would be a great idea. Look at the success of Wonder Woman. It’s clear we all want that."
So, it seems it's a case of waiting and seeing then but chances are this movie could happen somewhere down the line, especially as these characters will meet in Avengers: Infinity War...
