Captain Marvel as Unexpected & Complex as Iron Man!
Olivia Wilde, at first, claimed that she is A BIG FAN of superhero movies and has a lot of RESPECT for the MCU. Then, she added:
"The thing with female superheroes is that, in order to be powerful, they are flawless. The idea of kick-ass power lacks a certain nuance, at times. There is something to be said for a female director working to create a female superhero that perhaps [has] a little more complexity."
Well, Marvel's female superheroes like Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Zoe Saldana's Gamora are complex characters surely and the Rush star did acknowledge that. She praised Marvel Studios for Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man who, according to the actress, has "˜a real, dry sense of humor' along with "˜a complexity to his hero balance'.
But she thinks that even though the female superheroes are written in a way that they have "˜complexity and flaws', they become "˜ultimate goddesses' when they are translated into the movie. She further added:
"I would love to create a female Marvel character who is just as unexpected and complex as some of the male characters as Iron Man. I think that would be really cool!"
Morano, seemed a bit disappointed not getting any call from the studio in spite of fan interest in Twitter. But she hasn't lost her interest to helm Captain Marvel because she would feel NICE to give "˜real history' and "˜a real, tangible background' to the Marvel female superhero. She thinks that the characters that have got ISSUES and are FLAWED individuals are the MOST INTERESTING ones!
