A female James Bond. Are you kidding me?

He's called Superman, ever heard of him?
It’s interesting that Supes himself has a female counterpart in Supergirl. Since like the 50s. This is hardly anything new.
Companies want to broaden their demographics (and thereby increase their potential profit margins.)
Legacy characters are actually a long-standing tradition in entertainment, due to being fairly low risk, with already inbuilt longtime audiences.
Entertainment has been “going woke” since our grandparents’ era lol

Isn't there a film anywhere that isn't tainted with identity politics?

Lashana Lynch Confirms She Is James Bond's New 007, Haters Be Damned

What are they trying to do? Kill Sean Connery's legacy of a the iconic male lines of James Bonds?



Make your own secret agent legacy of female super British Agents. Sheeze.

Get woke, go broke. This film has tanked already well before release.

So whats wrong with women? There have been several female "spies" far more real than a movie and several female head's of intelligence departments. Remembered James Bond is a British character, hell we have even had a female PM.

The chauvinism of the 60s has long gone. Get with the world

So it's just for the next movie? I don't like Craig's Bond movies and can't wait for them to replace him (helpfully with Idris Elba), so this is easily avoided by me - I'm just not going to watch it like I didn't watch the last Bond movie.

I don't see the film as being tainted with identity politics, the response or backlash on the other hand seems to be making a great deal of a female identity being a James Bond. Perhaps it is the accusers who are tainted with identity politics and not the film.

Spot on.

I'll also add that criticising this decision is clearly a violation of the film-maker's free speech. Remember, free speech means that you can never complain about anything anyone says or does.

Also you'd better make sure you watch the film. Wouldn't want to engage in cancel culture now would we?

I'm sad for you that someone is making you watch it against your will. :(

And 007 is the agent number. She's not playing James Bond. Even the title say she's the new 007, not the new James Bond.

And although many have played James Bond, for me, the only actor that has nailed the character and is the character is Sean Connery.

This story is wrong, as usual.

The rumour (only a rumour so far as I can see) is that Bond comes back from retirement to find that his 007 code number has been reallocated to a woman.

That's all.

But I do agree that giving it to a black woman does look a bit like rather clunky identity politics virtue signalling, by the film makers.

They ruined Ghostbusters.
Now they're after James Bond.
Next we'll have.....
Superfly: Kristen Bell as Priest.
Purple Rain: Madonna as Prince.
Raiders Of The Lost Ark: Rebel Wilson as Indiana Jones.
Star Wars: Titus Burgess as Prince Leia.

LMAO :D

I had to look up Titus Burgess and him being a gay black man gives me great mental images of him as Leia. Lol.
