Kevin Feige Was The One To Clarify Captain America Virginity Question

Warning: This article contains spoilers for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Episode 1She-Hulk: Attorney at Law head writer and showrunner, Jessica Gao, recently revealed that it was Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige who answered the Captain America/Steve Rogers virginity question. The final television series of the MCU's Phase 4 stars Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, a defense attorney tasked with representing superhumans in a court of law. She is joined by Mark Ruffalo who reprises his role as Bruce Banner/Hulk, Walters' cousin who helps guide her through her newfound powers as She-Hulk.

While driving her cousin down a country road during She-Hulk episode 1, Walters questions Banner about Captain America's suspected virginity. Through her meticulous research of Steve Rogers' life, Jennifer came to the conclusion that the hero never had any time for sex in between his well-publicized involvement in multiple near-world ending conflicts. Before Banner can completely answer the question, Walters swerves to avoid a mysterious spaceship and causes an accident that leads to her transformation into She-Hulk. However, in a mid-credits scene, Banner finally admits that Steve Rogers did lose his virginity while on a USO tour in 1943, much to Walters' delight.

In a recent interview with Gizmodo, Gao revealed that it was Feige who clarified how Captain America lost his virginity in the MCU. According to the showrunner, the writing team asked themselves about what they really wanted to see within Marvel's shared universe, as well as what fans were talking about on social media. Due to the meta nature of the show, as Captain America's virginity question was on the mind of fans, Gao included the discussion in the show. Apparently, Feige was very supportive of the joke's inclusion. Read what Gao said below:

"We really started from a place like, 'What do we think is fun? What do we want to see? What are the conversations we're having? What did we always want to see in the MCU?' And there are some things, like Captain America's virginity, that really surprised us that it kept going. You know, Kevin [Feige] was really into that joke. He actually was the one who volunteered the answer to that question. And I couldn't believe that we got to definitively settle that issue once and for all."

As the arbiter of the MCU, Feige has final say with what story details are approved for all MCU content. He is known to work with Marvel filmmakers to craft the best story possible despite his own ideas, as was the case with Joe and Anthony Russo convincing Feige to scrap his original decision to kill off the original Avengers in Avengers: Infinity War. In the case of She-Hulk, however, Feige was the one to provide the specific answer to the humorous debate that raged on social media. With the topic now rekindled thanks to the show, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law director, Kate Coiro, recently revealing that the series will continue to address that Steve Rogers' non-virginity, perhaps Feige will have more questions to answer regarding Captain America's sex life.

With the show only one episode in, the question of Captain America's virginity has ended up being one of the most talked about aspects of the series, despite occuring in a mid-credits scene. Now, new questions have been raised as to whom Rogers had this experience with, and if that character was featured in Captain America: The First Avenger. If She-Hulk: Attorney at Law fails to answer these questions, Feige may be called to task to provide a far more detailed history of Captain America.
