Hiring Women Directors Could Rescue the Superhero Movie

Some food for thought this morning... why are women hired for 'chick flicks'? They know the audience and will make appropriate decisions right? That's good logic. Why, then, has the action superhero genre become such a boys club when women contribute to half the audience?

Who Says Women Can't Direct a Superhero Film



I would love to see a more female centric superhero film, or even just one that breaks the mold. I get it, Hero + Uncertainty = Blow up half the Earth and win the Girl. Is it me, or is the whole action genre begging for some diversity? Hollywood, lets make this happen!

    I completely agree! The super hero genre is one of my favourites and I am more than confident in saying that there would be no difference in quality, "machoness" or whatever else, if the movie were directed by a woman. And further more, where are all the female superheroes??
