Are More Women Going To See Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow In Movie Theaters Than Other Superhero Movies?

Out of 24 MCU movies, Black Widow is only the second to be led by a female Marvel character, following 2019’s Captain Marvel. Why is that?

However, now that we have seen a few superhero movies featuring female heroes front and center in theaters, that question can finally be backed by data. So, what percentage of theatergoing audiences seeing Black Widow this month are women and what percentage are men?
