With Wonder Woman<\/strong> and Captain Marvel<\/strong> coming out, DC and Marvel have decided to give the movies female directors.<\/p>\n

Wonder Woman will be the first movie that has a female director that was given a 100-million-dollar budget. This is great news, but there\u2019s one more step to reach equality, or at least equality as far as female directors go.<\/p>\n

Letting a female director take on a female superhero is great, but I\u2019ll be truly impressed when a female director is given a male story. That will show that the studio\u2019s have full trust that the female directors can take on any story, not just female driven ones.<\/p>\n

Now, studios shouldn\u2019t hire female directors just because they\u2019re women, they should hire whoever is best for the job. That being said, I\u2019m pretty sure with all of the Marvel movies that have come out, there had to have been at least one woman who could\u2019ve done the job. The same thing goes for race. It\u2019s amazing that Ryan Coogler is directing Black Panther, but I almost think it\u2019s more impressive that Rick Famuyima is directing the Flash. What it seems like is that studios are saying \u201csure woman can direct movie, but only based on female characters\u201d and \u201csure black guys can direct movies, but only those based on black superheroes\u201d.<\/p>\n

But hey, that\u2019s just my opinion. Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
