BBC Minute: On Superheroes and diversity

Available for over a year

Earlier this year we saw Black Panther break Hollywood’s diversity barriers, and now Aquaman and Spiderman are set to do the same. Diversity has been a a huge talking point in the superhero world in 2018. Last year a boss at Marvel blamed diverse characters for a fall in sales, but fans did not agree at all, and fought back. Some think this is why we're now seeing a shift in Hollywood. (Photo: A fan dressed as Black Panther from Marvel Studios. Credit: Juancho Torres, Getty Images)
