During an appearance in The Woman King, Jennifer Lawrence said, “I remember when I was doing Hunger Games nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work".
“We were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead".
Before Jennifer, there were many female lead in action movie like Sigourney Weaver in Alien (1979), Demi Moore’s G.I. Jane (1997), Charlie’s Angels (2000) and Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raiders (2001, 2003) and others.
One fan wrote on Twitter, “Lawrence is apparently so self-obsessed that she forgets a ton of other women were cast as female leads in action films: Linda Hamilton, HELLO. Sigourney Weaver? Angelina Jolie? Halle Berry? Uma Thurman and the ladies of Kill Bill? “DEATH PROOF” CAST? Lawrence is annoying.”
