Nope, it's just Ike Perlmutter's fault really. He was the reason the first wave of 2012 ML Movie Avengers didn't have a Black Widow made. He has been notoriously blamed for having declared a Black Widow figure not be made because girl figures don't sell, based on his trend analysis data from when he was head of Marvel Toys.

I'm sure similar "trend analysis" and other Key Performance metrics were responsible for the lack of diversity in this line. The name of the game is budget and bottom line first, figure out cust SAT after you make money.
