That's basically the problem though, that having a female led movie is considered "taking a chance".

And you can't start a trend without taking a chance, right now studios that make superhero movies are just following the trend, but eventually moviegoers get tired and move on, that's when studio's have the opportunity to either do something that would be considered a risk, or keep on doing what they've been doing.

Risks can yield positive results, I understand why studios are conservative about these things, but being conservative also puts major limitations on what you can do and how long you'll be successful at it.

Exactly. Do people forget that Batman Begins was a huge risk, considering that the last Batman film was Batman and Robin? People were convinced that they could never save the franchise from that stain, reboot or not.

And after THAT, they took a risk by using Heath Ledger as the Joker, because most people knew him as a pretty-faced romantic lead. People swore up and down that he couldn't do it.

And let's not get started on the Avengers film. Multiple hero characters that needed equalish screentime to further develop their arcs without it being bloated, mostly unknown superheroes taking center stage for the first time, and battles that could justify a guy like Thor and a guy like Hawkeye in the same fight. It was a massive risk that could have fucked up everything if it failed.
