Part 5/9:
Back in June 2018, Kevin Feige, then Marvel’s chief, announced a bold vision: the MCU would feature more female heroes than male. This was part of a strategic effort to diversify the franchise, reflecting broader social conversations and industry trends. Yet, critics argue that this goal has fallen short in practice. The recent promotional material for Doomsday seems to betray that promise, with many lamenting the “testosterone-heavy” lineup and the subtraction of prominent female characters from the main cast.
