Jennifer Lawrence retracts her odd claim of being the first female action hero.

Jennifer Lawrence, a Hollywood actress, has been heavily chastised for asserting that there has never been a female action movie protagonist before her.

Jennifer Lawrence recently claimed that she is “the first-ever woman to be cast as the star of an action movie,” despite the fact that Sigourney Weaver and Angelina Jolie led series long before her.

“I remember when I was filming ‘Hunger Games,’ nobody had ever placed a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work – because we were told girls and boys can both relate with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead,” actress Viola Davis remarked.

She continued, saying: “And it just makes me so pleased every time a movie comes out that breaks through all of those assumptions and exposes that keeping certain people out of the movies is a lie. to maintain some people in the positions they’ve traditionally had.”

Jennifer Lawrence clears the misconception that her words came out wrong

Jennifer Lawrence chose to retract her claim that she was the first female action hero, explaining that she misspoke.

Jennifer Lawrence recently claimed that she is “the first-ever woman to be cast as the star of an action movie,” despite the fact that Sigourney Weaver and Angelina Jolie led series long before her.

Jennifer emphasized to THR that her remark “came out incorrect” and that what she meant was how “wonderful it feels” to be a feminine influence in a male-dominated field, as noted by The Daily Mail.

According to the Academy Award winner, “That is not at all what I intended to express. I am aware that I am not the first woman to have ever played the lead in an action picture.”

She then added, “I wanted to underline how fantastic it felt. And I meant it with Viola [Davis] — to blast past these old myths that you hear about… about the gossip that goes along with that type of thing.”

Finally, the 32-year-old stated, “But it was my mistake, and the result was incorrect. I was nervous about speaking with a living icon.”

Jennifer made the gaffe during an interview with fellow Oscar winner Viola Davis for Variety’s Actors on Actors series.

The actress is well recognized for her portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in four The Hunger Games (2012) movie.

Many others swiftly disagreed with Lawrence, as Franklin Leonard, creator of The Black List, remarked in reaction to the interview on Twitter:

“It is incorrect that no one had ever placed a woman in an action movie until Jennifer Lawrence in ‘Hunger Games.'”
