Exactly. So many of the Hollywood studio executives predicted a female lead female superhero movie would flop. Marvel took ages to finally green light Captain Marvel.
Which if it wasn’t for the fact that Marvel can print money probably would flop. Not a very popular character in the books, but then neither were the Guardians, and I can’t keep track of how many comic lines Dr Strange has had canceled. So it will make money, in the end character gender doesn’t really matter, write it well, act it well, edit well, and the hero can be a guy, a girl or a freaking tree.
