“Since I was a little kid, I’ve been obsessed with superheroes. They’re all saving the earth all the time. But do you know who’s really going to save the earth? Old Black women.”

Thirty years after winning an Oscar for her work in Ghost, EGOT recipient Whoopi Goldberg will be dipping her toes in screenwriting for a movie about a superhero who is an older Black woman.

ADVERTISEMENT The older Black woman character will be at the center of the storyline. She will acquire new powers, but she will have to learn how to use them. This will be Whoopi’s first screenwriting credit. Marvel is producing a lineup of local Captain America figures this summer, according to Bounding into Comics. The characters see themselves as vigilantes for their towns. “Captain America of Harrisburg” will be Nichelle Wright, a Black woman who is “working day and night to bring change into a world where she feels defeated.”
