10 Best Action Movies With Strong Female Lead Characters

Action movies are often associated with strong male characters, since that’s what pretty much happened in the hay day of action movies – the 90’s. In recent years we’ve seen more and more action movies use women as their lead character. And it’s been such a good move for the genre as a whole.

If you want to know what some of the best action movies with female leads are, just keep on reading.

Wonder Woman

The first DC Universe movie that was actually good and allowed them to gain a foot next to the seemingly invincible MCU. Gal Gadot does an amazing job as this modern version of Wonder Woman, and the next movie should be coming along in the next year or so.

Dark Phoenix

The last non-MCU X-Men movie has Sansa Stark get possessed by the Phoenix Force, which makes her one of the strongest mutants and a danger to the entire world. If that sounds like an X-Men movie we’ve already seen before, it’s because it is. But this time, it’s with the new cast!

The Hunger Games

We’ve all seen at least parts of this movie series with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, right? This action movie deals with a dystopian future (aren’t they all?) where young people are being used as tribute for, well, basically killing each other until one person is left standing.

Atomic Blonde

If you’re into John Wick, this is basically a spy version of John Wick with Charlize Theron as the main lead.
