Starting with Peeth Potts Gwyneth Paltrow and continuing with such ThorJane Foster (Natalie Portman), Guardians of the GalaxyGamora (Zoe Saldana), Ant-Man’s Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), and even an MCU version of “MJ” (Zendaya), Marvel’s female love interests are usually there for more rat-a-tat conversation than being making steam -outs.
