This is from yesterday but I had missed it (also because I try to not follow the discussions about the movie, trying to go relatively blind).
Everyone was billed on the poster except her. People on Twitter pointed it out and Marvel reacted quickly by adding her name.

This has probably been discussed in the trailer thread but if other crazies like me haven't watched it, they may have missed this too.
I'm curious about the process. Like they say in the Polygon article, top billing like this is a matter of negotiations by the actors' agents, what the demands of the actors are etc. But it's funny (in a good way) to see that it can be changed so fast with a few minutes on Photoshop.
In the end I'm glad she's billed even though it probably wasn't planned... Twitter does good, sometimes.
Like, yeah, "forgetting" the only black woman one day after the declarations by Feige about representation and diversity being the future for Marvel films, that was unfortunate, to say the least.
(the gif replies are good)
