So far, Marvel Studios has brought out some special editions to the MCU, and some behind-the-scenes special series, giving a sneak peek at what goes on off-camera and the process of bringing everything to life on screen.MPower, a four-part documentary series, could also be considered an addition to the list, as it features the actors describing their character’s journey and their growth as empowering individuals and as a superhero. The documentary series, released on the occasion of International Women’s Day, brings Marvel women into the spotlight.
While it does feature a number of powerful women from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it still misses out on some of the major characters and actors who have been a part of the MCU. And fans did not hesitate to call out the studio when they spotted an unwanted face on the official poster of the series.

Marvel Celebrates International Women’s Day WithMPower
Disney released a four-part documentary series on International Women’s Day celebrating the women of the MCU. Directed by Quinn Wilson and executive produced byZoe Saldaña, the series features the female cast members ofBlack Panther,Captain Marvel,WandaVision, and Zoe Saldaña from theGuardians of the Galaxy.
The executive producer ofMPowerand theGuardians of the Galaxystar has described the show as a tribute to women’s representation and empowerment. She said,
“We’re enthused to have the involvement of a diverse group of women whose voices and stories will serve as a source of inspiration. Our hope is that this series will ignite meaningful conversations and drive real change towards a more equal and inclusive world.”
The four episodes of the show, The Women ofBlack Panther, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, and Gamora, focus on the respective character’s evolution. The first episode explores the roots and origin of theBlack Panthercharacters and how the actors brought their characters to life. The follow-up three episodes explore the respective characters they are named after and how far they have come.
However, some Marvel fans called out the studio to represent Scarlet Witch as an empowering woman, despite the massacre she did inWandaVisionandDoctor Strange 2. They pointed out how a superhero, who harmed those around her for her own desire, was not only featured in the series but also became one of its leading faces, garnering a spot on its poster.

Disney :she is a woman its fine everyone has forgotten she mind controlled a town and killed many innocence this is totally fine

People really out here defending someone who kidnapped and brainwashed an entire town then traveled to a new universe to kidnap two children that looked like her fake ones. Think you got something wrong with you if Wanda is empowering to you.

Sure, put the schizophrenic and psychopathic lady who killed multiple innocents and tried to sacrifice a child all for to kidnap someone else’s kids. Yeah, very empowering. All women should strive to be like her

Right there’s nothing empowering women let alone humans could learn from Wanda. She’s simply a villain and always has been she’s pretty flat and 2 dimensional. Nothing to dig deeper about there. Its a wonder why Marvel would put her on the poster.pic.twitter.com/p7eyebRwdc

Who happily murdered people for a pair of literally imaginary kids she made up because she missed her ambulatory vibrator.
— Chris Brady (@CVBrady)June 02, 2025
The arguments started considering the character’s actions inWandaVisionand the extreme things she did in theDoctor Strangesequel. Fans also mentioned how her character is“pretty flat,”and there is“nothing to dig deeper about”her, still the studio included her in the series.
They also stated how the studio missed out on featuring some of the major characters from the MCU, including Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and Evangeline Lilly’s Hope, aka the Wasp.
MPoweris available to stream on Disney+.
