Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

The film features Bronwyn Buntley, a female character with super strength, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against male antagonists (Wights) during the climactic battle.

The character Dr. Golan, a significant antagonist in the source novel, is male. In the film adaptation, Dr. Golan is portrayed by a female actress, constituting a clear gender swap for a named, plot-relevant character.

The character of Mr. Barron, who serves as the primary antagonist and combines elements of the novel's Dr. Golan and other Wights, was portrayed by a Black actor, Samuel L. Jackson. In the source material, these characters were depicted or implicitly understood as white.
