b) producers won't give a penny to put female women naked and showing breasts in an AA (or higher) movie.
c) the global market/mainstream is not prepared to accept female werewolves this way
d) they would make the TF scene to "surpass" the older one. A wider audience means no boobs on screen.
e) Boobs on screen also mean censorship and adult rate (possibly R), and that means a smaller target.
f) Latest female version of a classic was a failure (ghostbusters).

I would say we have a 90% chances to get male cast and 10% to get... a cancellation :P. Anyway, if the movie happens, there is a small chance that we could get a sequel with a female werewolf in it... I imagine, a direct to video in 2020. But right now don't count on it.
Pretty much this. American audiences can"t handle seeing a tit, let alone catching even the slightest glimpse of a nipple.

It'll definitely be a male tf, with a 50/50 shot at being decent or at least passable. All of you hoping for something more would do well to listen to TF-Viewer. I think a lot of you forget that the way we view TF's, of any kind, is very, very niche; don't expect Hollywood to cater to a small community of individuals that have an erotic fixation with the metamorphosis of the female form. There's no money there, and thus no reason for any major studio to listen to said community's wants.

Harsh, but true. :/
