Not long ago, actress Alan Page publicly announced that she was transgender, and changed her name to Elliott Peggy, officially debuting as a transgender actor. The reason why this news shocked everyone was also because this was not the first time Peggy had announced similar news, and he had also publicly come out to identify himself as a lesbian.
Transgender people may be difficult for us to understand, simply put, although he is physically female, but psychologically more identified with himself as a man, so he is not a lesbian, but a male heterosexual who is physically female. It's a bit of a twist, but in short, she hopes to be treated as a man in the future.
This actor is actually very familiar to everyone, the phantom cat in the far-reaching Nolan "Inception" and "X-Men" series, and the old seven in the "Umbrella Academy" series more recently. After learning this news, many fans are worried that this will not affect his future acting career, after all, transgender people do have fewer roles than ordinary women. He also quickly came out to explain that he would try more roles in the future, including the role of Lao Qi in "Umbrella Academy", which he would continue to play.
In fact, this kind of worry of fans is a bit more worried, there are very few actors in Hollywood who can publicly announce their identity, and he may be about to return to Marvel's work.
According to Patreon insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel is currently considering giving Peggy a new hero role to officially enter the MCU in order to pursue the diversity of heroic characters. In order for him to be able to play the role, this new hero will also be a transgender person. Although marvel's original comic book has corresponding characters, there are not many to choose from.
Jake Young is one such male transgender person, first appearing in the second volume of Avengers: Solo in 2011. He has been over-taking hormones because of his transgender status, but an accident occurs during a harmless-sounding medical test together. This test was actually a cover for the Super Soldier experiment, which led to his fire-related superpowers. All but his subjects were killed, and scientists deduced that he survived because of the hormones he had been taking. In the end, he was framed and murdered by the doctor and had to start a career of escape.
Overall, the character of Jake Young is very small in the comics, but it would be even less likely if Peggy had been assigned a male hero character for this reason. Many people speculate that Marvel may tailor him to the role of a transgender person, after all, the film and television works are not yet completely out of film, and it is completely too late to start the creation of comics.
Now it's really clear from projects like Ms. Marvel that Marvel really wants to make a difference in the diversity of superheroes. If there is an actor like Peggy who really matches, it is better to say, if it is forced to let the unmatched actor play for the sake of correctness, it may cause a lot of unnecessary quarrels, and many castings of "Ms. Marvel" are like this. If there is a suitable one, it will be promoted, and if it is not suitable, it will be temporarily put aside, and it is also a common disease in Hollywood in recent years to forcibly pursue it, in fact, it is not necessary.
