Tom Holland is definitely in favor of making the Marvel Cinematic Universe a bit more diverse.

The Spider-Man: Far from Home star told Britains Sunday Times that hed of course be on board with his character identifying as gay in a future film.

I cant talk about the future of the character because honestly I dont know and its out of my hands, said Holland, who has appeared as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in five films, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. But I do know a lot about the future of Marvel, and they are going to be representing lots of different people in the next few years.

The world isnt as simple as a straight white guy, he continued . It doesnt end there, and these films need to represent more than one type of person.

Buzz about an openly LGBTQ superhero has heated up after Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, assured fans that an LGBTQ superhero would be coming soon in an interview last month.

We havent been shy about saying that thats coming, he told Gizmodo , and that theres much more prominent LGBT heroes in the future.

Feige also opened up about the debut of a minor gay character in Avengers: Endgame. The character, listed in the credits simply as Grieving Man and played by the films co-director, Joe Russo, makes a brief reference to being in a relationship with another man during a conversation with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).

Given the scarcity of openly LGBTQ characters in blockbuster films, the appearance of Grieving Man was heavily scrutinized and drew a mixed response from critics. Esquires Justin Kirkland deemed it a half-baked attempt at diversity, while Gizmodos Charles Pulliam-Moore said the scene felt like an inconsequential afterthought.

But Feige said Grieving Man was never meant to be our first focused character and was intended simply as a matter of fact and a matter of life and a matter of truth.

It was never meant to be looked at as our first hero, he added . I guess its the first reference so it does, of course, get a lot of attention.
