Marvel Studios Seeking Openly Gay Male Lead for 'The Eternals'
They’ve been saying it for years, but have never acted on it so far. But, Kevin Feige has recently said that Marvel Studios would strive to be more diverse and inclusive in their features in the future, including LGBTQ characters, which may be sooner than anyone expected. Former MCUExchange co-editor-in-chief, Charles Murphy, has reported that Marvel Studios is seeking an openly gay actor to portray one of the male leads for The Eternals.
They describe the casting as an actor between the ages of 30-49 and looks like a superhero. They also say that the studio is open to any ethnicity for the role, but that they’re pursuing an openly gay actor.
Many are already speculating that this male lead will be Hercules, who in the comic books has been portrayed (or at least implied) to be bisexual. Although. that whole situation seems to be pretty screwy as former editor-in-chief Axel Alonso had denied it at the time.

Who knew posting something so positive was actually just another way to mock or denigrate the progress of the LGBT community.
