Maisie Williams says important to show same sex romance in 'masculine' superhero world

Maisie Williams, who is making foray into superhero genre as werewolf Rahne Sinclair in 'New Mutants', said she is happy that fans are excited to see the romantic relationship between her and Blu Hunt's Danielle Moonstar. The actor believes that the same sex love story between the two characters marks an important shift in the otherwise 'masculine' world of superheroes, reported a news source.

"I'm glad that the fans are so excited for it because I think it's really important to see relationships like this. I think at the heart of it is just this really lovely love story. It just brings it back to reality, I think," Williams said during the 'New Mutants' panel for Comic-Con@Home.
