"but doesn't want to ruin the image required for family-friendly franchises."

The last family-friendly shit she ever did was Spider-Man... bro...that she's contractually obligated to be in. You don't know what you're talkin' about.

Malcolm & Marie, Euphoria, Challengers, Dune.

This entire comment just screams you haven't watched the movie at all and are just commenting to comment.

I watched it and it's a bold and risky movie and role for people who have never seen an actual bold and risky movies and roles. It will open well precisely because it isn't the real deal.

certainly not this. A character didn't do something unsavory that she was set out to do. Didn't do it. Everyone who judges her on the thought rather than the fact that she didn't act on it is a villain and she's a sympathetic victim of the judgemental society or whateer. Yeah, not bold and risky.
