Captain Marvel & Valkyrie's Romance Was Allegedly Cut From The Marvels

More queer erasure in Marvel movies?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has had a long history of erasing any nods to LGBTQ+ characters, references, and/or storylines in the franchise’s blockbuster superhero films. The one rare exception is Phastos in 2021’s Eternals, who was established as an out gay character and even had his husband featured in the movie.

On Sunday, November 19, Twitter/X account @CanWeGetToast shared an exclusive report alleging that The Marvels originally included a scene making it clear that Captain Marvel and Valkyrie had a same-sex relationship at some point in the MCU. The report, which is worth noting does not name any sources, reads:

“Captain Marvel and Valkyrie were explicitly together in the past (cut quote: ‘we work better as friends’) but Disney are cowards.”
