Surprise casting for next Indiana Jones lead
Phoebe Waller-Bridge may flip the script on Indiana Jones.

Let's get one thing out of the way first. Leading females in movies are awesome when cast properly. From Sigourney Weaver to Katherine Hepburn. He'll Netflix and Prime both have some fantastic spy/assassin type movies on right now with female leads and they are awesome popcorn movies.
But I digress. What is the fucking point of taking all these beloved franchises and flipping the gender roles of the lead? Take this joke of a switch for instance. Had Harrison Fords character had a daughter it might make sense for them to bring her in as the lead but he doesn't. And besides that role already exists in the Laura Croft franchise.
Kathleen Kenedy and those like her can not fail fast enough. Instead of being creative and making new ip's with female leads they are reduced to stealing the roles from men because they lack any sense of creativity and respect for established cannon.
