Cara Delevingne may be attached to a highly-anticipated DC superhero film, but that apparently isn\u2019t stopping the young starlet from sharing exactly how she feels about the industry. The same industry that is about to kickstart her acting career. The model-turned-actress made a few opinionated comments about portrayals of women in superhero movies calling them \u201ctotally sexist\u201d\u2026 that is except the roles in Suicide Squad, of course.<\/p>\n

Ayer\u2019s Suicide Squad<\/em> with Empire Magazine, Cara Delevingne opened up about her concerns with female superheroes, and why the portrayal of them in most superhero films is sexist. She told the magazine (via Yahoo<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cFemale superheroes are normally naked or in bikinis. No-one would be able to fight like that. Wonder Woman, how the hell does she fight? She would be dead in a minute.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cara Delevingne add another voice to growing debate of women\u2019s portrayal in action movies. We have \u00a0had our fair share of powerful women, from Lara Croft to Sarah Connor to Black Widow, but n some action films the women tend to be placed more so for sex appeal than badassery. There has certainly been a forward progression in giving female superheroes stronger roles. But that is not the point. The point is they are kicking butt in five inch heels wearing skin tight leather gear that perfectly shows off cleavage (we all know who we are talking about).<\/p>\n

It is a bit surprising that Cara Delevingne is so open to diss the industry that just have her her biggest role to date, though. But of course, after all the bad-mouthing she does make sure to express that Suicide Squad <\/em>is different from the rest, telling Empire:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are only three girls in [‘Suicide Squad\u2019] but in my opinion they have the best roles. Generally though, superhero movies are totally sexist.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The three women that Cara Delevingne alludes to are herself, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and Karen Fukhura as Katana. All three are rocking different looks as you can in the full cast photo posted by David Ayer himself. And then we have got Viola Davis added into the mix, who has already claimed her character Amanda Waller to be completely bad-ass saying that even \u201cSuperman would quake in his tights\u201d.<\/p>\n
