The MCU - Action, Representation and Shang Chi

The MCU - Action, Representation and Shang Chi MCU: Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney sought to buy Marvel as they had two films in the top 15 in 2008, and were a growing production company. They weren't yet at their prime popularity, meaning that their buy-out price was not as high as it could've been (it was undervalued), which made Disney opportunistic.

Only two women have ever won the Oscar for 'best director'; they are Kathryn Biyelow and Chloe Zhao. Chloe Zhao went on to direct The Eternals. It is certainly the case that for many years the film industry just did what it wanted - because it could. Harvey Weinstein was a director and producer that participated in negative and illegal activities; he committed sexual assault in 2020, and was called out for this by Jennifer Lawrence. Since them, representation and diversity have become huge issues for the film industry and Disney in particular recent years.  #Oscarssowhite was a hashtag that trended online in protest to the fact that there was a lack of diversity and representation within the Oscars, with 91% of award winners being white.
