And thirdly, Brie and Tessa have just encouraged the Valkyrie and Carol theories on social media. Second some fans think that Carol and Maria were more than just friends (they essentially raised a child together!). So why do fans think Captain Marvel is lesbian? Well first of all, why not? The film never establishes her sexuality, so there is just as much of a chance that she could be gay or queer as there is that she could be straight. Is Captain Marvel gay? Does she fall in love with Valkyrie? And now Brie and Tessa have low-key alluded to it. Not only that but there are theories that Captain Marvel falls in love with Valkyrie. She is straight in the comic books but, many of the comic variations of Captain Marvel are queer, and it's not unheard of for Marvel to change things up on screen.
Long before Captain Marvel even came out, MCU fans have speculated that Carol Danvers may be lesbian or sit somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
