One of the standard objections to asking for better disability representation in film is that it wouldn’t be reasonable to expect an action hero in a wheelchair – but if you think about it, is an action hero in a wheelchair really any less plausible than an action hero not in a wheelchair? Your average action hero’s physical capabilities are demonstrably so far off the human baseline to begin with that I’m not sure what standards for reasonableness we’re applying here.
Also disability isn’t just wheelchairs. It isn’t just physical, and not all physical disability involves wheelchairs at that.
It’d be more interesting because the hero (i.e. the director and the fight choreographers) would have to work with the wheelchair, making for more-inventive action scenes.
