There is no secret that Hollywood has gone female crazy lately. It is a safe bet to say that Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman) is ushering in a new Rennaissance in the film industry. Women are taking over starring roles and director’s chairs faster than Thanos can snap his fingers, and now it appears as though Marvel caught the bug as well.
At the recent Produced by Conference, Kevin Feige says that he isn’t saying that women will direct every future film for the studio, but they will direct “a heck of a lot of them will.”
I cannot promise that all 20 Marvel movies will have female directors but a heck of a lot of them will. Agencies are sending more female directors than men for directing jobs.
It is a huge step at equality in the Hollywood landscape. With more women helming the director’s chair and more big films with female leads, all of the over-due recognition will surely follow.
