It's kinda of a catch-22. People(aside from terminally online weirdos) don't mind women in action lead roles, but people don't really go see female-fronted action films unless it's an established IP or an ensemble cast. Tomb Raider and Resident Evil worked because of the games, and I think it's fair to say the Suicide Squad movies were a female-fronted ensemble.
The last big female led movie I can honestly think of was Kill Bill. Atomic Blonde was really good, but not very many people (comparatively) went to see it.
I think we'll see an increase of "From the World of" stories in franchises, because the original John Wick movies already established there are female assassins that kick ass. I think that'll be more palatable to people than gender-swapping main characters.
There's another problem, a legit one IMO that Team Incel unfortunately latches on to and that's some female characters are poorly written. Horribly written. The "Boss Babes" or whatever you want to call them like Rey from Star Wars, Ms. Marvel, etc. Look at superhero movies and sci-fi, even action/ adventure, and those genres aren't hotbeds for women viewership. Those are overwhelmingly male markets, so catering to women without penises is a great way to lose viewership and thus money.
I LOVE Atomic Blond and Kill Bill, never once did I think "They have vaginas, this is so Hollywood" and then go watch Jason Bourne like it is a documentary. How the character is written, their arc, the story...that matters.
But I also fuck, because I'm not an incel.
