Haaz Sleiman, one of the cast in the upcoming Marvel film "Eternals," shared his take on the upcoming movie's introduction of a married gay superhero and the first same-sex kiss to grace the screen in the long-running movie franchise. Sleiman plays the non-super-powered husband of Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry), Screen Rant reports. "What Marvel has been able to accomplish, I'm so proud of them because they approached it in a very thoughtful way, and Phastos is one of the biggest superheroes in the film," the Screen Rant story quoted Sleiman as saying. "I'm his husband, an architect; we have a child." Sleiman went on to express a wish for even greater representation, saying he "wished I was the superhero, because when will we see an Arab Muslim openly gay actor playing a superhero?" Sleiman described a kiss the will reportedly appear onscreen between the married male characters, calling it "beautiful" and "very moving," and saying that "Everyone cried on set" when the moment was filmed, IndieWire reported. "For me it's very important to show how loving and beautiful a queer family can be," Sleiman added.
