Washington DC [US], July 8 (ANI): Actress and film producer Charlize Theron called out Hollywood studios for not wanting to take a risk when it comes to female-led action movies, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That known, Theron said, adding, Action films with female leads dont get greenlit as much as the ones with male leads. I think the thing that always frustrates me is the fact that guys will get a free ride, as per the outlet.
She continued, When women do this and the movie maybe doesnt hit fully, they dont necessarily get a chance again. With this, we were very aware that eyes were on us. It not a risk that studios want to take, but theyll take it many times on the same guy who might have a string of action movies that did not do so well.
She has starred in several commercially successful action films, including The Italian Job (2003), Hancock (2008), Prometheus (2012), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Atomic Blonde (2017), and The Old Guard (2020), and also the Fast & Furious installments: The Fate of the Furious (2017), F9 (2021), and Fast X (2023).
Theron shared why she enjoys doing action films, despite being accident-prone on set, leading to a lot of fractures and multiple surgeries over the years.
I love dance, but I would never have been able to go back and be a dancer again, right? she said. Action movies gave me this opportunity to be physical again, to be a storyteller with my body, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)
