For many, the huge success of Black Panther at the box office has been seen as a watershed moment in Hollywood, proving that films lead by predominantly black casts can offer mainstream appeal that brings a more diverse audience to the movies. But at least one Marvel alumni doesn't necessarily agree.

After ten years making short films and working the festival circuit, this weekend will be the first time writer-director Emily Carmichael has a feature film released in theatres. It will not be the last.

Marvel's Jessica Jones made television history when it announced that all 13 episodes of season two would be helmed by female directors. Now, just in time for Women's History Month, a new featurette is shining a spotlight on all the women working together to bring this iconic series to Netflix once again.

Genre films still have a long way to go when it comes to representing people beyond the straight, white, male audience Hollywood has long catered to. But two superheroic events recently have more than just fans excited for more diverse offerings - theatre owners are psyched, too.

Mindy Kaling is one of us. Though she's best known for her comedic work on The Office and The Mindy Project, Kaling is a huge genre fan. When she was growing up, she never felt those genres spoke to her directly. However, working on Ava DuVernay's new Disney movie A Wrinkle In Time, she finally got to let her geek flag fly.

If you were to ask basically anyone who's excited about Black Panther why they think the film is important, you'd undoubtedly hear many an explanation about how it, unlike virtually every other superhero movie, features a cast and story that young, black kids can see themselves in.

It's been a while since we heard anything about Cloak & Dagger, the Freeform adaptation of the Marvel comic. But, with its release slated for later this year, the creators have opened up about the challenges and opportunities of telling a new kind of story in Marvel's TV sandbox.
