The MCU spent years keeping its female characters in supporting roles, largely as girlfriends or lovers, give or take a Black Widow. However, following the end of the Infinity Saga, the franchise began experimenting outside of its well-known comfort zone, placing more women in the spotlight than ever before. So far, the MCU has produced six female-led movies, showcasing some of its most well-known characters, even if it was already too late for some.
6 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' Directed by Peyton Reed Ant-Man returned for a second adventure with 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp. The plot sees Scott Lang teaming up with Hope Van Dyne and Hank Pym to rescue Janet Van Dyne from the Quantum Realm while being pursued by several antagonistic parties. Loyal fans waited for years for a solo vehicle for the Widow, especially after Tony Stark's death overshadowed her sacrifice. However, Black Widow was not a film worthy of its beloved titular character. The plot, which saw her confronting her past in the Red Room, had the potential to be compelling and engaging. However, a weak screenplay, a confused villain, and shoddy CGI made the finished movie a tonal mess. The film premiered simultaneously on Disney+, further damaging its legacy.
Captain Marvel is as safe as a superhero origin story can get. It sticks to the Marvel formula to a tee, introducing its titular character as a mighty player in the cosmic side of Marvel. Oscar winner Brie Larson does a fine job in the role, opting for the same stoic demeanor Chris Evans goes for with his Captain America but introducing more flair and sass into the mix. Despite its narrative shortcomings, Captain Marvel is enjoyable as an entertaining and effortless MCU entry.
