Among the lead or co-leads in 2021's 100 highest-grossing films, 41 percent were women, and 32 percent hailed from a historically excluded race or ethnicity, according to the latest research brief from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative.

also found that just 11 of the 100 films in 2021 featured a woman of color as lead or co-lead. Back in 2007, the earliest year AI2 began analyzing such data, only one film managed that feat , whereas 2019 featured a high of 17. Older women were also much less likely to star in a movie than their male counterparts: seven movies versus 27. Although seven men of color were leads or co-leads in 2021, not a single non-white woman over 45 was tapped for such a part last year or the year before.
“It is clear that the industry still believes women have a ‘sell-by’ date in film,” AI2 founder Stacy L. Smith said in a statement. “The lack of stories about women age 45 and older demonstrates the industry’s regard for women in this age bracket. Additionally, women of color age 45 and older are invisible in leading roles.
The research brief also looked at the distributors behind the films. The vast majority of Disney movies starred a woman, and more than half of the studio’s releases in 2021 featured a lead or co-lead from a historically excluded race or ethnicity. 20th Century Studios and Paramount also achieved gender parity in their lead roles, while Warner Bros. achieved proportionate representation in terms of people of color.
