12 LGBTQ Comic Book Characters Ready For Live-Action Adaptation
9. Wiccan And Hulkling
Both are members of the Young Avengers, their origins and heritage are founded deeply in other characters from Marvel history that have already been seen on the big screen. Wiccan is the son of Avengers, the Scarlet Witch and the Vision.
While Hulkling is the progeny of two members from warring alien races. Going cosmic has worked out well for Marvel movies in the past and there is plenty of room left in the universe to explore. Their relationship was hinted on early in the run of the Young Avengers comic and later on, fully confirmed by the writer and by an eventual in-panel kiss between the two characters. The two of them are currently engaged.
The foundation for bringing a version of these characters into the Marvel cinematic universe already exists with references to various alien races and the fact that Avengers: Age of Ultron introduced both the Vision and the Scarlet Witch. In the future phases of Marvel movies to come, the people behind the movies might realize they need younger heroes with a diverse background to appeal to new audiences. Wiccan and Hulkling are the perfect couple for that.
