Before we go any further, let's stress that this is very much a rumor and a wish, and not at all a confirmed report. Still, many of the leading ladies of the Marvel universe have expressed a desire to have a team up film.

Pro-Abortion protest sign reading 'mind your own uterus'
Unfortunately, good news around reproductive rights can feel pretty sparse on the heels of Planned Parenthood being forced to give up Title X funding and several states on the brink of losing safe, legal abortion access if proposed bans in those states take effect. Still, speaking of abortion bans and good news, this week, Missouri women and reproductive rights advocates celebrated a federal judge blocking the state’s eight-week abortion ban, literally the day before it would have taken effect.
