Marvel is yet to launch a female-led superhero movie into its universe (although Captain Marvel is on its way).

But it turns out quite a few of the studio's mega stars have already come together to try to make an all-female superhero film, and it sounds spectacular.

Thor: Ragnarok actress Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) revealed that a number of actresses, including Captain Marvel herself Brie Larson and Black Widow Scarlett Johansson, joined her in lobbying Marvel to make a female-centric movie.

"I think in that group was Brie Larson, myself, Zoe Saldana, although she ran off to the bathroom, I think, so she came midway through the pitch, but she had been in the rev-up to it," she told CBR.

"Scarlett Johansson. Pom [Klementieff] and Karen [Gillan], who are both in the Guardians movies. Yeah, I think it was that group.

"We were just sort of all in a semicircle talking, and it just came up, because none of us really worked together – well, I suppose Zoe and Karen and Pom – and wouldn't it be nice if we could all work together?"

She added: "And we were sort of speculating on the ways in which it might happen in Infinity War, or might not happen.

"And we thought, 'No, we should just have a whole movie where we know every day we're going to arrive and get to work together.' So we just ran right up to Kevin Feige and started talking about it."

Thompson said that Marvel president Feige was receptive, adding: "That's the thing that's so fantastic about Kevin is you always get general interest from him.

"At least when you start speaking, and then you might get 10 minutes in, and you sense that maybe something is not as exciting. But no, he's really open to collaboration and wants to hear what we're interested in."

Earlier this month, Thompson explained the meeting with Feige, hinting that the all-female superhero team quietly put together by the Enchantress called Lady Liberators could be a possible plot point.
