Ya el año pasado, el presidente de Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige había dicho que la compañía tiene un gran interés en comenzar a incorporar a sus historias y películas a personajes LGBTI y ahora, con el anuncio del inicio de la filmación de 'Los Eternos', se dio a conocer que en este filme llegará la aparición del primer superhéroe abiertamente gay.

'Los Eternos' cuenta la historia de un grupo de superhéroes que adquirieron sus poderes tras haber evolucionado de forma distinta a los humanos. Como ya te estarás imaginando, esta es la apuesta de Marvel para relevar a 'Los Vengadores'.

Aunque aún no se revela cuál de los personajes del grupo será el encargado de representar la diversidad sexual en el nuevo lanzamiento del Universo Cinematográfico Marvel (UCM), los fanáticos ya han comenzado a especular en redes sociales mostrando esta imagen de Ikaris:

Marvel allegedly casting first openly gay male lead for “The Eternals” movie. A report from That Hashtag Show indicates that Chloe Zhao and Marvel Studios are hoping to cast their first openly gay man in a lead role, possibly as Ikaris of the Eternals. According to the report, Marvel is taking precautions to keep the identity of this role a secret. Of course, while Ikaris is one of the main characters in Jack Kirby's main source material comic book, there are other possibilities for who this potential actor could be playing. According to the report, filming is set to begin on the movie in the U.K. later this September, concluding in January 2020. After “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Spider-Man: Far From Home” premiere, expect Marvel Studios to reveal more information about the movie. Marvel boss and producer Kevin Feige while still being very secretive about a lot of details from the film, did tease that the storyline could greatly expand the scope and scale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Eternals are one group, but we like the idea of introducing an ensemble, doing an ensemble movie from the start, as opposed to building up as we did with the first Avengers. More like Guardians, not tonally, but in terms of introducing a new group of people," Feige told Collider. "You were asking about ’60s, and ’70s before. Jack Kirby did an immense, amazing epic with Eternals that spans tens of thousands of years, and that’s also something we haven’t really done, which is why that among many other things post-Endgame, we find appealing.” The movie does not yet have an announced release scheduled, but Marvel Studios has reserved a date of November 6, 2020 for a undisclosed film ? #disney #marvelentertainmnet #marvelstudios #comicbook #superheroes #marvel #jackkirby #theeternals #eternals #superhero #ikaris #marvelcinematicuniverse #mcu #director #chloézhao #screenplay #matthewkfirpo #ryanfirpo #producer #kevinfeige #lgbtqia #lgbtqiacommunity

Por lo pronto, se sabe que la nueva película estará lista para 2020 y la compañía ha dicho que darán más detalles sobre ella tras el estreno de Captain Marvel y Avengers: Endgame.

Lo que sí se confirmó es que la productora está buscando a un actor gay "que tenga cuerpo de superhéroe y entre 30 y 49 años" para interpretar al esperado personaje.
