Netflix finds that Charlize Theron is one actress that wants to save the world – actually make that the online and film world – one heroine and action hero at a time. The Hollywood actress recently reflected on the importance of female heroes and role models in the industry and how the future of Hollywood could very well be heroism. Here’s what she has to say.
In her own words, the Hollywood actress wrote in a piece for Entertainment Weekly over the weekend, “What’s so interesting to me is that when you tell these intricate stories with women, you have access to so much complexity that just lends itself to good storytelling.
We’ve gone through a social change in the last decade or two where we want to be loud and proud about how this idea of what we think a female warrior or female hero or female action star should look like is not necessarily the truth. There is something to celebrate in the complexities of our faults and our flaws and all of the things that make us interesting.”

The actress continued, “Having complicated, diverse female heroes elevates the storytelling. It’s given us more places to go to and things to play with. It’s about eliminating these tropes, these ideas that women can only live and breathe in the action genre if they’ve been motivated by some great loss, or their husband had died, or their child was taken.
All these trope-y things are slowly disappearing, and you’re seeing women living and breathing in these worlds the way men have for centuries. We don’t have to explain ourselves anymore. We can fight and save the world and make a mess, and we don’t have to have some reason behind it. We can just live and breathe and be.”
