Nobody thought that there would be this little orange-haired girl doing all of the crazy stuff. Because that's just how things were back then. In "Fifth Element," at the time, everyone expected Bruce Willis to be the star of the movie. (Rolf Konow,SMPSP / SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT) How do you feel that conversation has changed in 20 years? The conversation right now is about women leading franchises. We talked to Jovovich about her iconic roles, and - with "Wonder Woman" dominating the summer and films like “Atomic Blonde” on the horizon - how, or if, the action landscape is shifting. With the recent "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," the film series crossed $1.2 billion worldwide. The 2002 video game adaptation spawned six sequels. In the 15-year franchise "Resident Evil," Jovovich played another kick-butt woman who was part of an experiment to create a clone resistant to a zombie virus. Her character, Leeloo, is still cosplayed around the world. This year marks the 20th anniversary of "The Fifth Element," which saw Jovovich leap off the screen as a formidable heroine - a supreme being even - who captivated audiences under the impression they were just coming to see another Bruce Willis vehicle. Milla Jovovich was at the forefront of the modern era of women commanding the screen as action stars.
