9 movies you can watch on Netflix if you're disappointed about the delay of 'Black Widow'

Patty Jenkins' DC character proved that female-led superhero movies can be box office smashes, too, earning a huge $821.8 million worldwide. Gal Gadot took on the role of Wonder Woman, and while we have to wait for the sequel (that's been delayed, too), at least we've got this one to keep us going.

Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander took over the role of Lara Croft from Angelina Jolie, and made it her own. Here, she desperately tries to find her missing father. Another movie based on an iconic video game.

"Salt" was, for a long time, the closest thing we got to an unofficial "Black Widow" movie. An American CIA agent is forced to flee when she is accused of being a Russian spy. Starring Angelina Jolie, it really does play like a Black Widow origin story.

Taraji P. Henson stars in this movie as one of the very few black female action leads.

"Proud Mary" follows a hitwoman working for a Boston crime family whose life is changed by a young boy.

Mads Mikkelsen is one of the most interesting actors out there, and teams up with Vanessa Hudgens for this dark thriller about an ageing assassin. A Netflix original.

A Filipino assassin responds to an attempt on her family's life after she quits the business and fakes her death. One of the few action movies with an Asian female lead.

What better film to fill the void of "Black Widow" than an action-thriller with Scarlett Johansson herself? Rather crudely labelled the female version of "Limitless," this movie capably stands on its own two feet.

Rupert Friend stars as the titular figure, who teams up with a woman (Hannah Ware) to find her father and unravel certain mysteries connected to her heritage. Based on the iconic video game character.

Noomi Rapace plays a female bodyguard, a character based on the real-life female bodyguard whose clients have included JK Rowling and Nicole Kidman. In this movie, Rapace's character is hired to protect an heiress from assassins.
