There has been a lot of talk about the inclusion of female roles in superhero movies. But instead of them being supporting roles, we are looking for them to star in their own films. We are looking for spin off movies for black widow, who played supporting roles in Iron Man and The Avengers. But they are also talking about bringing back Wonder Woman.

This article is very interesting because it explains how females are always the supporting role and never the star, especially in superhero movies. I found this interesting because our society is so used to seeing male superheros instead of females.

I believe superhero movies in the past have had strictly male heroes because men in society have always been thought of as the strong and independent gender. Since times and gender perceptions are changing, I expect and am excited to see more female heroes portrayed in movies.

I really enjoyed this article because it shows how the public wants to see more females as the starring roles in superhero movies. In the past most superhero movies have men as the heroes however movies such as the Hunger Games have changed that and shown how women can be superheroes too. .

This article really shows how important the first female-led debute is right now and how if Marvel doesn't take advantage of it then someone else will. It's a big step but one that needs to be made and this article makes that clear. I really enjoyed reading it!

I thought this article was very interesting. It touched base on how there is a demand for a female lead in a superhero movie instead of just a supporting role. One of the quotes mentioned in the article that I found interesting was that directors and producers were hesitant to make a female super hero movie because Catwoman and Elektra which starred female super heroes as the main character received poor consumer response in the box offices.
