During an exclusive interview with Collider’s own Perri Nemiroff in Park City during Sundance, Ironheart series star Zoe Terakes discussed what it means to be the first trans actor in the MCU.
“I think as trans people, growing up I didn’t get to see myself anywhere, so I didn’t really know that I existed. And especially not in a superhero show or movie. And so I think I just feel deeply grateful and moved that little trans kids and trans teens have something to look at and to know they exist and to know that they can have superpowers, and that that’s where we belong. We don’t just belong in trauma stories on the fringes dying in things, you know? We belong there with the big guys.

I hope Zoe gets to be the MCU's first major trans role and am excited for them, but I think it's wrong to ignore the steps taken with Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (2016), Aneesh Sheth (2019), Zach Barack (2019), and Patti Harrison (2022), Collider.
