Female led superhero movies
With the announced female leads (Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman) and other potential female-led superhero movies (i.e. Warner rumored to be developing an all female Spider-Man spinoff) being discussed, I'm just wondering what this forum thinks of them. Will you have interest? Will you go watch them? Do you think they'll be big hits?

I think it all comes down to how well they're put together. Good scripts and good acting and they'll be hits. I don't think the kind of people who watch superhero movies are going to give a shit whether the leads are men or women.

They probably don't even know the difference.

I think Black Widow could carry a movie.

Name all of the successful movies starring female action heroes not named Alien(s).

If anybody can do it, Marvel can. Prior to Iron Man, there really wasn't much in the spandex superhero genre that did phenomenally well outside of Batman, Superman and Spider-Man. Yet they've somehow created an incredibly lucrative series of movies. Without any of the aforementioned characters, or the X-men, or the Fantastic Four.

Don't really have much of an opinion on them other than the fact that I do get annoyed seeing these 120 pounds chicks one-shotting grown ass men.
I was watching Mr and Mrs Smith the other day and just couldn't stand the fact that Angelina Jolie was beating Brad Pitt's ass in a straight fist fight. |

"My Super Ex-Girlfriend" always seems to crack me up.

If it's a good character and good story people will like it.
You could argue that the show Fringe was about a female super hero. Depending on how you define it. That's probably my favorite TV show ever. If it's Resident Evil...
