That is a whooooooooooooole lot of white guys. Shame that Marvel Cinema couldn't find a way around this problem.
Featuring Scarlett Witch and Black Widow in supporting roles doesn't remotely compensate. The best they could do for racial diversity was giving almost every single one of these guys a Black Best Friend.

The movies are making billions, You want to change histories to add diversity just for the sake of it? It pisses fans off and does not endure others to buy the comics or see the movies any more.
They can work on it going in the future like they are doing in the comics with adding more diverse characters. Like Morales for spiderman. And Falcon is slated to become the next Capt. America. Capt. Marvel is a woman now.
There should be a black panther movie. He is a great character. Especially if Elba is the actor. This is the only travesty so far.
As for Black Widow, no. Tell me, is it going to be a Bond type movie? She is a role player. Marvel has horrible females outside of the xmen that could carry a movie by themselves. And fox has ruined that with strictly group movies. To which outside of the lovefest with wolverine was heavy on jean grey and mystique. You can stick the new Capt. Marvel here as stand alone female. But how are you going to get women to see the movie? Also, a shehulk would be great, but not sure how they would go about it.
Electra and Catwoman have proven sex does not sell movies on its own. Movies were utter garbage. Story and acting. These two movies set back the chances, it will literally take a work of masterpiece to jumpstart it.
A proper Storm movie would be good, but Fox owns that, so it would be shit.
Wonder Woman would also be great, but DC is trying to rush introductions to compete with Marvel.
They are having Jessica Jones and Luke Cage have her own series. If it goes well, it might open for more female characters to get their own shows.
But forcing would be the stupidest thing possible. It would hurt ticket sales.
