This will only be a good thing if she serves more purpose than being someone's romantic interest. Otherwise it's no less male-centric

It looks to me that she is being promoted as an action style character:
Someone on AICN speculated that she may be Legolas' romantic interest, so now that's already passed around as fact, with fans up in arms about it. Kissing, eeewww ! But then I never liked Tolkien's blind spot for women, romance and sexuality very much in the first place.

So many particulars. So many questions.
but legolas was clearly sleeping with Gimli.

Plenty of romance in LOTR but it's of the chivalric, courtly tradition so modern audiences don't seem to get it
TruXta

Bestiality is surely a step too far for such a mainstream production?
Reno
The In Kraut
Silly audiences ! That however wasn't what I was getting at, which was the exclusion of women from this mostly boys own universe.

Not so much sleeping with, but clumsy fumbles in the dark. Who's that putting their hand in my trousers? I can feel a beard. Too late to complain now. Oh my god. We must never speak of this.

Ayer and Snyder are "auteurs" ?
Trust no one who stars a tweet with that premise !
My initial reaction too
Though, thinking about it, 'auteur' doesn't necessarily mean good.
Snyder in particular has a very distinct style and reuses certain motifs endlessly.
Ayer is completely forgettable though, be interesting to see what James Gunn does with the next Suicide Squad.

Does anybody really think these two godawful directors are going to wrestle masterpieces from these deeply shitty films with their directors-cuts-by-fan-demand ? As to The Hobbit, maybe if Peter Jackson manages to cut all three of these turgid films down to 90 minutes, we'll get something resembling an entertaining adaptation of the book.
Amazon is producing a tv series which is a prequel to both The Hobbit and LOTR, which is probably more promising news for Tolkien fans:
