Reply to comment by Hexcraft-nyc in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow

The MCU didn't make a movie about a nonwhite protagonist until Black Panther (movie #18) or about a woman until Captain Marvel (movie #21) for the same misconception. Turns out those demographics didn't buy as many superhero toys because there were barely any that they could see themselves in.

I guess Ant-Man and the Wasp predates Captain Marvel with its woman co-lead but I personally feel like Ant-Man is still the main character of that film.

And that's why Disney kicked out Ike Perlmutter out of the MCU
