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. Surely now they can do better than just plugging a female actor into a traditionally male slot. Widows wasnt successful, $42 million budget grossing $76 million worldwide is a flop. Sicario, with Emily Blunt as the lead, was comparably more successful - $30 million budget grossing $85 million worldwide which is why it got a sequel and Widows didnt. Atomic Blonde did the best though and is getting 2 more sequels.
