Abstract: “A man of quality is never threatened by a woman of equality” -Thomas Jefferson The above quote surmises the importance of equality in gender in society. Movie is a great platform to strongly disseminate any sort of message or perspective deep into the society. Billions of viewers enjoy Marvel movies throughout the world. Marvel movies have gifted the world with a handful of superheroes, the fact which needs to be appreciated but how far it has given importance to the fair sex in these adventures is quite a point to ponder over. With great power comes the great responsibility. Each and every aspect of Marvel movie is thoroughly observed by and talked about throughout the globe. In such case, if they take up the gallant cause of establishing gender equality across the society, we could have seen a different society altogether. Before hopping into the discussion, we need to know something known as Bechdel test also known as Bechdel-Wallace test.
