I feel a change coming. Despite the character’s step backwards in Justice League it seems that Wonder Woman has made a difference. Here are twenty films to get excited about this year that have a female lead, including a few in typically male genres, the rebooting of previously stalled franchises, sequels to movies that had male protagonists and the latest versions of established stories that were previously headed up by men. (I couldn’t bring myself to include the new Fifty Shades and Mama Mia! films but there’s those as well.)
