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.

I think Black Widow could carry a movie.

They'll tank.

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

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. |

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.

"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...

Lots of this.
I'd also really like to see a Black Widow movie, but it's clear it's not going to happen. Probably because of scheduling problems as much as anything, plus I think that the character will get a lot of attention in the new Avengers movie based on what we see in the teaser trailer. I don't know much about Carol Danvers at this point, but I'm certainly not chauvinistic to say i wouldn't see it because its a female lead. |

I will see Captain Marvel opening weekend. Wonder Woman will be a rental for me, but so was the Superman reboot, Amazing Spiderman, and Fantastic Four. The new Superman and Fantastic Four movies will be rentals for me, if I bother. So in that vein, a female led Wonder Woman will be higher on my priority than Supes/Batman/FF.
