In the upcoming superheroes movie, womens will play a much larger role than in the previous ones. For instance, Marvel Studios have planned to make a film about Captain Marvel, which is one of the most powerful superhero in the Marvel universe. DC Comics has planned to release a film about Wonderwoman, a superhero who returns a strong and independent woman image.
Why these films out now and what will be the impact?
We live in an era where women emancipated more and more from its role as the "traditional" housewife.
With the evolution of morals, women have become more independent, stronger (At least in Western societies) and are totally different from the womens 40 years ago.
It is normal to see them appear more in the mainstream media and they play inspirational and motivational roles such as super heros
One can believe that the release of these films will have a positive impact on women and they will be sensitive to the values of superheroes.
In a society where feminism is growing, it is also believed that the producers are looking to target new audience : The strong women who recognize themselves in the super-hero.
Let's hope that producers will not put in the foreground the sexy side of superheroes in order to attract a male audience.
