Kit Harington wants better gay and lesbian representation in Marvel movies
Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has called on Marvel bosses to do a better job of representing the gay, lesbian and bisexual community in their blockbusters.
The British actor was promoting his new movie, The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada on Tuesday when he was asked about his superhero movie dreams, and he answered by scolding Marvel movie moguls for not being more inclusive.
“There’s a big problem with masculinity and homosexuality that they can’t somehow go hand in hand,” Harington told Variety. “That we can’t have someone in a Marvel movie who’s gay in real life and plays some superhero. I mean, when is that going to happen?”
Marvel President Kevin Feige recently confirmed that LGBTQ characters will feature in future blockbusters, telling Playlist earlier this year that someone we’ve seen on the big screen could identify as gay or bisexual in an upcoming Marvel movie.
