Considering how many great female characters there are in the MCU, it's a bit silly that we'll have had to wait eleven years for a female-led Marvel Studios movie. Fortunately, it looks like Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is set to join the pantheon currently occupied by iconic heroines like Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Zoe Saldana's Gamora and Tessa Thompson's Valkryie. In fact, the latter was so well received in last year's Thor: Ragnarok that she and several other notable MCU actresses approached Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige with a plan for an all-female Marvel movie team-up.
