* Sanabi, in the live-action ''[[Death Note]]'' [[The Movie|movies]]. Similarly, the role of {{spoiler|the Third Kira}} was given to an adapted version of (attractive twenty-something female) Kiyomi Takada, originally {{spoiler|merely a Kira-supporter and a go-between for Light and Teru Mikami (the fourth Kira)}}, when character-wise, an adapted version of (unattractive older male) {{spoiler|Kyosuke Higuchi}} would have worked just as well, although in Takada's defense, she ''had'' a role in the live-action story.
* Most of the cast of the first ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' was, well, a collection of boy's toys. The only female character, Bo Peep, was fairly minor and only existed because the boy shared a room with his baby sister (and so Woody could have a [[Love Interest]]). In the sequel, Mrs. Potato Head was also fairly minor, but Jessie was one of the mains. The second sequel gives Mrs. Potato Head a larger role, and also adds [[Barbie]]. (Though Bo Peep was actually cut entirely.)
** In Barbie's case, it was also the fact that the movies had permission to use the character for the first time. Originally, Bo Peep (the aforementioned only female character in the first movie) was supposed to be a Barbie, but Mattel refused. It wasn't until they saw how the movies caused sales of Mr. Potato Head toys to spike that they agreed.
* Arwen's role in ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' is expanded considerably, compared to the books. Glorfindel's ride to bring Frodo to Rivendell is given to Arwen, along with several other changes, to make her both an [[Action Girl]] and an Affirmative Action Girl.
