"Not taking a supporting role doesn't mean not acting as a supporting character, but we won't even play the leading female role if it doesn't have enough screen time!"
"Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, roles like these, you understand?"
Lu Yang stated his minimum expectation for Sofia.
In reality, starring in a superhero movie isn't necessarily a great thing for Sofia.
Because superhero movies don't win film awards.
And Sofia wants both fame and fortune.
She wants to pocket both the box office and the trophies.
Superhero movies are just a fallback option.
"What? That's impossible! What are you thinking?" Disney's executives burst out in anger. "Black Widow and Scarlet Witch can never have standalone movies, superheroes don't have major female lead films!"
"Master Ancient from Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange is our last compromise!"
They played their final card.
Much more screen time than Aunt Mei, you could even consider it a female lead role.
