If they're not making it about gender then they wouldn't have an all female cast but like others have mentioned, it is part of a trend currently in Hollywood they're riding. I personally don't have a problem with an all female movie just as i don't with an all male movie. I just don't like the idea because i feel like all the marketing will shove gender into our faces for this like they're doing with other things as a trend.

But how about they finish the franchise they have first before talking spinoffs.
Also, Vin Diesel was reportedly upset with the Hobbs & Shaw movie and yet he's signing off on this one? Confusing.
Then there's the Neal Moritz lawsuit about said spinoffs.
Finally, they hired writers from Marvel, so going by that little tibbit, it's gonna be assembly line style mediocrity anyway.

Yeah totally agree. Cash grab BUT remains to be seen if it's gonna even be successful tbh. I actually hope they have a good movie and if so i'll support it with positive word of mouth. I just hope it isn't gonna be a snooze fest.
One movie i actually wanted to watch was "Expendabelles" with the all female cast and talent. I felt that had a really grest premise but alas, not seen anything for it yet.
