Which actress would you like to become the next big action hero?
Milla Jovovich...Angelina Jolie...Kate Beckinsale...and now who would you like to get some leading lady action hero roles?
I say ZOE SALDANA deserves it next. She's just so hot, good-looking, cute. Whenever she's on screen, it's hard not to watch her. I imagine her getting a leading role in some out-of-the-blue action movie role as Beckinsale did in Underworld. I can picture her flipping around, doing martial arts, and kicking serious ass. She's established herself long enough. She's had action roles in Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek, Avatar, and in the upcoming Takers and The Losers. She's also like a better-looking version of Thandie Newton and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Abigail Breslin. In Zombieland 2, she should be the one who tears it up, not Woody Harrelson.

Zoe Saldana is a good choice.
I'll add Summer Glau. She's done action well in Firefly/Serenity and in Terminator:TSCC.

La Femme Nikita?
The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day?
Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans?
As for the next female action star:
Julia Stiles
Spin off her character of Nicky from the Bourne films into another franchise. She already proved she can hold her own with Matt Damon.

Chick action flicks are lame, cliched, and coma inducing in their dullness (with a few exceptions, those being the Alien and Kill Bill flicks). I like some choice piece of tail stripping down and wielding phallic wish-fulfillment weaponry as much as the next guy, but not if that means I have to sit through such fucking awful movies as the Underworlds, Lara Crofts, Resident Evils, etc.

Just wish she could shed an ounce of emotion, more specifically, add some depth to her acting abilities. She's my kind of woman otherwise.
I'd add Alexa Davalos. Fell in love with her after Chronicles of Riddick. And she has no problem shedding the linens ....

-I only enjoyed Alien and that was a horror film.
La Femme Nikita?

The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day?
-Michael Biehn and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton was a badass but she was the sidekick.
Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans?
-Ugh no.

Until she decided to direct movies, I thought Sarah Polly had a legit shot at being one. While she's a supporting character, I think Iron Man 2 might give Scarlett Johannsen some consideration.

Sarah Polley was pretty great in the Dawn of the Dead remake.
I don't think she's done any 'action' films, but I'd love to see Zooey Deschanel (sp?) kick some ass.

I liked Alexa Davalos in the last season of Angel where she showed some nice looking moves.

Re: Which actress would you like to become the next big action hero?
Excuse me, but as I've been telling you guys for months, Megan Fox is destined to be the next great female action star. Put her and Ellen Page in an action picture with Jason Statham, preferably a remake of the Hong Kong female action classic, SO CLOSE, and start counting the money.
(And why aren't you watching any Hong Kong/Japanese female action films? Hello? They've been doing them for years. Just look up these actresses:
Japan: Meiko Kaji, Etsuko Shiomi.
Hong Kong: Cheng Pei Pei, Angela Mao, Chia Ling, Lily Li, Kara Hui Ying-Hung, Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Khan, Moon Lee, Yukari Oshima, and a bunch I'm forgetting.)

I'd love to see Charlyne Yi as the lead in a kickass action movie. She's Asian so she probably knows some cool martial arts moves.
