We did get a "female James Bond" with Charlize Theron in "Atomic Blonde." The movie was very successful at the box office which should have shown producers that female action stars can compete in the marketplace even if they are not part of an established franchise.
"Widows" (2018) led by African-American women was also wildly successful. Why don't studios follow with other great scripts and stories to capitalize on these hits? Perhaps to a certain extent they have with "Black Panther" and "Aquaman" starring an actor with Native Hawaiian ancestry on his father's side.
Surely now they can do better than just plugging a female actor into a traditionally male slot.
