Use your Google fu at the words\u00a0\u201cMarvel\u201d and\u00a0\u201cfemale led films\u201d and you\u2019ll find out quickly that the studio, part of the Disney empire, has some challenges with making movies with female leads.<\/p>\n

Black Widow has appeared as co-star in multiple movies in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but the franchise\u2019s guru Kevin Feige has apparently absolutely no desire to give the character her own movie.<\/p>\n

Despite the questioning of that choice, Marvel had an out. Last October 28 they announced that Captain Marvel would get her own movie in July of 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

See they even made a banner announcing the date. Go Marvel!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see you announced the movie on October 28 and then three and half years later you have a movie. Easy Peasy. And how cool she gets the summer blockbuster slot of a 4th of July weekend. Woot! Marvel. Women. Movies. Happening! (but still hearing all the reasons that there won\u2019t be a Black Widow movie.)<\/p>\n

But wait did I say July 6? Whoops! When Spider-Man<\/i> was brought back to the Marvel Universe something had to move and so in February of 2015 \u00a0Captain Marvel got pushed out to November 2, 2018.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay that\u2019s okay. Now they have over four years since they announced the movie (October 28, 2014) to make the movie. So let\u2019s get that script done! And they announced a terrific team in April.<\/a>\u00a0Okay, so that\u2019s cool. The movie is over three years away. Plenty of time to write a script and get it made. Woot.<\/p>\n

November 2, 2018 here we come!<\/p>\n

Nope. Yesterday Marvel announced that Captain Marvel\u2019s third release date – March 8, 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why you ask? Well to make room for the Ant-Man sequel. That\u2019s right, Ant-Man will have his second movie out before Captain Marvel<\/i>.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing that made me laugh. In their announcement Marvel proudly stated the following about the sequel called Ant-Man and Wasp<\/i>:<\/a><\/p>\n

The sequel will mark the first Marvel Studios film named after its heroine.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, they said that by giving second billing to Wasp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ten years. It\u2019s been ten years since Kevin Feige started building out his Marvel Universe. And after ten years you get the back half of the title and claim a\u00a0\u201cfirst\u201d for a female character (or heroine) in the same release you announce you are giving the third release date to the ONLY film that has been announced with a female lead.<\/p>\n

Frankly I think the chances we\u2019ll actually see a Captain Marvel<\/i> are just slightly better than we\u2019ll see at Black Widow <\/i>movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh they\u2019ll announce something about the movie in the next 20 days or float the name of a director or we\u2019ll hear that they are testing leads.<\/p>\n

But then?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three and half years is a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I expect Feige could find four or five male characters to give movies to so expect that date to move.<\/p>\n
