Have to disagree. (I think?) I don't think being male or female will change the outlook of something like this. It's a comic book, it has source material, and a director with a lot of passion for it will find an approach to it.

I say that both ways. A woman directed Punisher: Warzone and did a hell of a good job with it. It was gory, lots of action, and did a great job of playing out what a "man's movie" normally partakes. She also had a lot of the crew read pretty much every Punisher comic that it dealt with.

On the flip side, A lot of romance novels are written by guys with a "pen name" of a female simply because of this problem. People say a guy can't do it, yet their favorite stories could be a guy writing it. (Let alone Sparks and his following)

All I'm saying is that if they choose a male or female, it shouldn't matter. If they show the passion, let them take the shot at it. (I agree, at least it's not Jolie)
