Brie Larson and Elizabeth Olsen Want an All-Female Marvel Film—So Where Is It?

Back in 2019, as the credits rolled on Avengers: Endgame, one powerful moment sparked a movement: a scene where the MCU’s fiercest female heroes banded together on the battlefield. That brief but unforgettable moment ignited fan excitement—and actor advocacy—for a full-fledged all-female Marvel movie. Leading the charge? Brie Larson and Elizabeth Olsen.

Now, in 2025, that dream has yet to be realized on screen. But the passion behind it still lingers.

The Pitch That Started It All

Shortly after Endgame’s release, Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) openly expressed their desire for an ensemble film featuring the MCU’s female powerhouses. According to BuzzFeed News and Heroic Hollywood, Larson even approached Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige with a group of female castmates, saying, “We are in this together, we want to do this.” Olsen echoed that enthusiasm, stating in interviews that comics aren’t just for boys and that women on screen matter—“not just for women to look up to, but for men to have women to relate to, too.”

Their message was clear: representation matters, and the MCU was overdue for a spotlight moment that gave its female heroes more than supporting roles.

Where It Stands in 2025

Fast-forward to today. Despite ongoing expansion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—including major upcoming releases like The Fantastic Four: First Steps this July—an all-female Avengers-style film has yet to land on the release calendar.

A recent scan of Marvel’s slate, including Wikipedia’s Phase Five and Phase Six timelines, reveals no confirmed project with that focus. However, a glimmer of possibility appears in the form of an “Untitled Scarlett Johansson Production” listed on Rotten Tomatoes. Could this be the long-rumored A-Force project, based on the all-female Avengers team from the comics?

If so, it may be Marvel’s quiet answer to years of behind-the-scenes discussions, actor lobbying, and fan support.

Why the Delay?

There are likely several factors at play. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted production schedules, and Marvel’s current focus appears to be on rebooting legacy franchises (X-Men, Fantastic Four) and pushing new ground in multiverse storytelling.

There’s also the risk factor. The Marvels (2023), despite featuring Brie Larson and introducing more female heroes, underperformed at the box office. Did that give the studio pause? Or is it simply waiting for the right timing and story?

Fan and Cultural Impact

What remains clear is the cultural appetite. Social media lit up in 2019 after Larson and Olsen’s statements, with fans, critics, and even co-stars like Scarlett Johansson and Tessa Thompson voicing support. At conventions, women and girls continue to show up in cosplay as Valkyrie, Scarlet Witch, and Shuri—symbols of empowerment whose stories deserve center stage.

As Olsen said, this isn’t just about representation—it’s about evolution. “The audience is ready,” she noted. “They’ve been ready.”

Looking Ahead

With Phase Six expected to conclude by 2027, there’s still room—and reason—for an all-female film to join Marvel’s future slate. Whether it takes the form of A-Force or something entirely new, the groundwork is there: actor advocacy, fan demand, and an ever-expanding universe of complex, compelling women.

So what’s next? Keep your eyes on Marvel’s Comic-Con announcements, studio leaks, and social media murmurs. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the MCU—it’s that the heroes may not always arrive when expected, but they do show up.
