Not every actor has the same following and drawing power.
Their roles also aren’t identical in amount of lines and stunts and other factors.
And generally women leads/women woke focused movies do not tend to draw in male viewers, which means young men and dates arent going to necessarily goto them. Again a factor in the movies drawing power.
Men in lead roles in action movies are usually fighting a set of villains who are villains based on their individual actions.
Women in lead roles in action movies are typically acting like all White men are evil oppressors, even maligning the men cast as their allies for allegedly being sexist.
As a White man, I prefer movies that don’t portray me as a dehumanized monster because of my immutable characteristics.
Liberals don't seem to be able to grasp that truth.
Some time ago I read where a lawmaker wanted a law that says WNBA players must make as much as NBA players.
I was in a sports bar with some friends last night. One of the TV’s was showing a women’s basketball game. Seattle vs someone else. I saw five shots before someone made one. It was comical. Should they be paid the same as men’s basketball. Seems the bar is a bit higher for the latter.
