The women of theMarvel Cinematic Universehave united, and it’s pretty glorious. Marvel recently held a massive gathering of more than 80 MCU stars for a photoshoot celebrating the 10th anniversary of Marvel Studios next year. Some of the photos from the shoot have made their way online, including one highlighting Marvel’s female heroes. It makes a strong case for an all-female Marvel movie in the future.
The image features Zoe Saldana ofGuardians of the Galaxy, Tessa Thompson ofThor: Ragnarok, Brie Larson, who’s set to playCaptain Marvel,Scarlett Johansson, who portrays Black Widow, Danai Gurira of the upcomingBlack Panther, Karen Gillan ofGuardians of the Galaxy,Evangeline Lilly, who is set to become The Wasp inAnt-Man 2and Pom Klementieff ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. None of the ladies are in costume, but they don’t need to be. They still look incredibly badass as is.
This image doesn’t gather together everywoman of the MCU, but it gathers together a fine group of them. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen ), Nakia, Ramonda (Lupita Nyong’o), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp), Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) are not in this photo, just to name a few. And let’s not forget Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter, who’s become a true fan-favorite over the years since making her debut inCaptain America: The First Avenger. This, if nothing else, proves that Tessa Thompson’s pitch to Kevin Feige for an all-female movie in the future is totally viable. In case you missed it, here’s what she had to say about it whilepromoting Thor: Ragnarok.
“We were just sort of all in a semicircle talking, and it just came up, because none of us really worked together…And we were sort of speculating on they ways in which it might happen in Infinity War, or might not happen, and we thought, ‘No,we should just have a whole moviewhere we know every day we’re going to arrive and get to work together.’ So we just ran right up to Kevin Feige and started talking about it.”
We’re sure to see a lot more amazing photos from this photoshoot when Marvel releases the full thing next year. Likely to coincide with the release ofAvengers: Infinity War, which is the culmination of an entire decade of MCU filmmaking. With that many big stars in one room together, some amazing things were bound to happen.
