In 2018, only 35 percent of films included ten or more female speaking roles, according to a
study at San Diego State University, while 82 percent of movies had at least ten male characters with speaking roles so the historical underrepresentation of women and girls in movies continues. There is good news, though: female protagonists in film became more prominent in 2018 and it seems that continued in 2019.
