Strong Female Leads are part of the deal now

When movie producers figured out that a female-led action movie could make them money in the box office, the industry changed. Movies like the Hunger Games and Mad Max: Fury Road proved that an action flick could be carried by female character. With the failures of movies like Catwoman and Elektra, each now over a decade old, it seems that studios were afraid to approach female superhero movies again. The movies were poorly written and poorly made, hardly a reflection of our love for these characters who were, in the lightest of terms, mishandled completely. Given the care and attention each deserves from writing to casting to directing, could have rendered completely different movies. But with the recent success of non-comic book movies and their female leads, the time is right for studios to try it again.
