When the Super Hero Headquarters opened a little over a month ago in Disney Springs, people were thrilled at the hordes of new merchandise from Marvel. There were also those not so happy since it had a severe lack of female apparel and merchandise centered on female characters, but that may soon change.
This has long been a complaint from many fans, and Marvel announced at this week’s Licensing Expo 2015 that there will be a concentrated effort to provide more female-foc used products beginning with Captain America: Civil War.
“We’ll see an extension mixing in new characters with new skills,” he added. “There will also be a big focus on adult female apparel,” Paul Gitter, VP of licensing for Marvel at Disney Consumer Products, told Variety.
Gitter also later revealed that merchandise from Captain America: Civil War would also focus on new stars from the Marvel Cinematic Universe such as Black Widow, Black Panther, Falcon, War Machine, and Vision.
There will also be a celebration at high-end retailers for Captain America’s 75th anniversary.
Many have hoped and asked for more female apparel from Marvel and more focus on female characters such as Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, and others. Maybe that’s finally coming to light.
