Even the writers and directors are women

Not only are we seeing a shift of more powerful women on screen, but we’re seeing a mega shift behind as well. DC hired their first female director, Patty Jenkins, to direct Wonder Woman. Jenkins picked up the job when Michelle MacLaren dropped out citing creative differences. Warner Bros. were looking for a female director from the get go, in a response to fans who were, and are still, eager for diversity in the DCU and MCU movies. The universes are rich with so many different characters and flavors of personality, that fans were getting antsy to see that brought to the big screen and to the general non-comic book fan public.

In that same vein, Nicole Perlman, writer of Guardians of the Galaxy, has been tapped to write Captain Marvel. With women in front of and behind the cameras, the universes are finally getting the much needed diversity that they need, slowly but surely.
