Gay For Birds Of Prey Movie
Warner Bros.’ upcoming Birds of Prey is already making history before it even hits theaters, as the expected blockbuster is going to be the first major superhero film to feature a prominent gay character.
Black Mask, the movie’s main antagonist, will reportedly be portrayed as homosexual. Though his sexuality is never explicitly stated, multiple sources have told We Got This Covered that the sexual tension between him and fellow villain Victor Zsasz will be palpable and the way he acts in general makes it pretty clear that he’s gay.
It’ll be interesting to see how fans react to this alteration of the iconic bad guy. While it’s true that some have been begging for a gay character in the DCEU for years, others are decidedly less open-minded. Less than a month ago, one particular viewer edited all of the women and pro-LGBTQ elements out of Avengers: Endgame. With that in mind, this move by Warner Bros. will definitely be met with at least some level of controversy from less tolerant folks, but the majority should be happy to see progress being made onscreen.
