A post shared by Glossy 💄 (@iamtheglossygirl) on

During Com-Con over the weekend, actress Charlize Theron spoke directly to audiences and studios in a passionate plea for more female-driven productions.

“I always say to studios, ‘Make more female-driven movies,’ ” she said. “They said, ‘We would if people go and see them.’ So go see those movies!”

Charlize was promoting her film Atomic Blonde, and also spoke about her pet peeves on female action stars. Now that Doctor Who is a woman, many people are wondering if the most famous action hero of all time, James Bond, might soon be played by a female. Charlize said she was “all for it,” but is fine “leaving that one over to Daniel (Craig) or Idris (Elba).”

On her character in Atomic Blonde: “We don’t need to lose a child or a husband or have some kind of revenge story to become a warrior,” she said. “(Lorraine) exists. She’s simply her. We don’t ever over-explain why she exists or why she’s any good at her job.”
