Letitia Wright Says It’s Only A Matter Of Time Before We Get An All-Female Avengers Movie

Fifteen years ago, the double disappointments of Catwoman and Elektra saw the major studios decide that female-driven superhero movies weren’t a worthwhile investment. The situation was so dire that Halle Berry’s awful star vehicle didn’t even come close to recouping the $100 million budget at the box office, but still reigned as the highest-grossing comic book adaptation with a female lead for thirteen years.

Jonah Jameson at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, it was a welcome return to the fold for an actor that perfectly embodied the character in Sam Raimi’s trilogy.
