19 Movie Reboots With Gender-Swapped Leads

From lady "Ghostbusters" to talk of a female James Bond, Hollywood has taken a shine to remaking classic movies or TV shows with gender-swapped leads as a way of mixing up a tried and true formula. But the trend dates back farther than to just the last few years. Here are some other movies that looked to remake something old with not just a fresh face but from an entirely different point of view.

With Ghostbusters Afterlife coming out, this topic is back. I never understood the upset over that casting and thought it was a decent film for what it was. There are talks about a gender swap version of Splash with Channing tatum, a female version of Lord of the Flies (I think the TV show The Wilds has that covered) and Pirates of the Caribbean with Margot Robbie (I think she'd be great).
