Part 2/6:
Jenna Ortega expressed her enthusiasm for increased female representation in Hollywood but emphasized the importance of creating original female-led stories rather than relying solely on spin-offs or gender-swapped remakes. She stated, "I love that there's a lot more female leads nowadays. I think that's so special. But we should have our own." She articulated her desire for fresh narratives that showcase strong, independent women—"another badass"—without the need to rework existing properties into female-centric versions.
