And the result was, perhaps predictably, disappointing: including every speaking character featured within the list of films, only 27% of the dialogue was given to women.
None of the films, however, featured a cast that was made up of 50% speaking, female parts.
Even though many would think Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) was the centre of Suicide Squad; in reality, she only spoke 42% as many words as Will Smith’s Deadshot.
In fact, Rogue One actually represented the worst ratio of all ten films: only 9% of its speaking characters were female, with Jyn taking up 78% of their dialogue.
