“I love that there’s a lot more female leads nowadays, I think that’s so special, but we should have our own. I don’t like it when it’s like a spinoff, I don’t want to see like ‘Jamie Bond.’ You know? I want to see another badass.”

Gender & Race-Swapping Iconic Male Roles Have Been Met With Some Criticism

The notion of changing the race or gender of iconic roles is nothing new in Hollywood. The idea of a female James Bond has been tossed around for years, while Idris Elba’s name has popped up as potentially becoming the first Black James Bond to replace Daniel Craig. A female version of James Bond hasn’t been officially explored, but giving a woman of color the 007 codename was met with some criticism when Lashana Lynch’s Nomi took on the mantle in 2021’s No Time to Die. While some moviegoers are open to gender and race-swapping iconic roles, others take it as a personal offense when it’s done.

Ortega is correct in stating that women should be granted more opportunities to create their own franchises, as characters they develop could become iconic in popular culture. Movies like “Atomic Blonde” with Charlize Theron, “Salt” with Angelina Jolie, and “Lucy” and “Black Widow” with Scarlett Johansson have shown that this trend can gain momentum, albeit they are exceptions rather than the norm. Unfortunately, in Hollywood, there’s a belief that female-led franchises, particularly those not based on existing intellectual properties, won’t succeed financially at the box office. However, one might wonder, how many male actors have been given multiple chances to prove their concepts despite previous flops? The failure of an idea doesn’t mean you should give up; instead, you should learn from it and try again.

Regarding Ortega, it seems she’s on track for launching a significant original series of her own. She has previously starred in well-known intellectual properties, with her Scream films generating substantial box office success and Wednesday on Netflix attracting large audiences. With Beetlejuice expected to earn over $100 million during its opening weekend, this will undoubtedly be another notable addition to her already impressive list of hits.
