Jennifer Lawrence walks back naming The Hunger Games as first female-led action movie

While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter for an interview published on Thursday, The Hunger Games star clarified her earlier remark calling the franchise the first female-led action movie. Previously, Jennifer told Viola Davis during Variety's Actors on Actors series “Nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie” before The Hunger Games released “because it wouldn't work - because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead”.
