It’s well documented that the female stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe came together to pitch an all-female Marvel film, but nothing official has been released to suggest that we may see this come to fruition. However, that hasn’t stopped the stars of the MCU from continuing to show their interest in such a film or for other female-led movies. The latest Marvel star to express such an interest is Nebula herself, Karen Gillan.

“It is something all of us Marvel actresses have talked about and think would be an amazing project,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star said, before explaining how she hopes next year’s Captain Marvel will lead to more female-led films from Marvel. “It is exciting because we have ‘Captain Marvel’ coming out, with Brie Larson in it, and that will be a big celebration for all of us. Because that is the first female led Marvel movie. Hopefully that can lead to more female ensemble Marvel films.”

Finally, Gillan expressed her hope that the incredible success of Black Panther will also help open up more opportunities in Marvel films and the movie industry as a whole:

“The success of ‘Black Panther’ has said a lot about our industry and appetites and what audiences want. It is always exciting when that happens, because then it’s like, ‘OK, what is going to come from this?’ It is going to open up so many opportunities for other people and so it is exciting.”

While Captain Marvel will be arriving in theaters next year, it will likely be a few years, at least, before we see another female driven film in the MCU. Thankfully, fans of Marvel’s wonderful female characters — like Nebula, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and Okoye — can expect to see them in action when Avengers: Infinity War arrives in theaters this month.

I wouldn't be opposed to such a movie, if it has a good story and team composition.

@Kevwebsz - I like America Chavez in general but I think she is sorely in need of a new costume and codename.

It’ll be an interesting project to bring together with Earth based and cosmic characters. I realise they’re doing it for IW but that’s on a much bigger scale. Can’t wait to see what they come up with.

I do not want to see a girl team up movie! I want to see a good movie with lots of girls in it :o)

@LaserKing - I wouldn’t be opposed to such a movie, but I think I lean toward what you’re saying with a strong women-based team with some male supportive members.

@LaserKing - I most defiently wouldn't be opposed to a all female film; most of my fav characters are female.

However, if it is a group larger than say 4 characters, I do feel they need a good reason why no male heroes are present.
I personally think the Enchantress is a big enough villian for the female heroes + stops the men from going.


Though as I said if Valkeryie, Nebula, Widow and Gamora decided to fly off together at the end of A4 I think that's a fine.

I would love to see a female ensemble movie but really I would love to see solo movies for Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Spectrum more.

Did anyone notice Karen did the nebula voice in jumanji? It caught me off guard but it was hilarious when I thought about it

Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Woman, She-Hulk, Miss Marvel (with the introduction of Miles Morales going to the same school). They have lot of good female characters that deserve their solo movies :)

@visionwitch That's a great pic of most of the Marvel ladies, especially as it's such a casual "gals hanging out" shot, but the one at the far right between Karen Gillan (gosh but she's tall!) and Pom Klementieff has me stumped... who is she?

@VisionWitch - My gosh, she looks so different from the Ant-Man movie and the trailers for the new film! I ran the list of super-femmes through my head and wondered why Evangeline Lilly was missing, but I had no idea this was her! Thanks for the info and the reply, and keep up the great articles!

For what? I thought men and women were EXACTLY the same? Right, 3rd wave feminists? Just skip to the 19:00 mark (if you don't want to watch the whole thing) and watch the reaction to stone cold facts:
