No its a specific character,assigned that title,and created for eternity,by his author.I will have to insert some logic here:
If 'Bond' is an "institutionalised,emotionless,womanising,male killer" nothing changes in that definition of the man. That would be him.
He wasn't born with the code name; he doesn't own it.
It's 'MI6' property so they give to whom they deem worthy of that code.
Ridiculous.... Somethings should not change.
Can you imagine a female Doctor Who?

The author is dead.
BTW, so's Gene Roddenberry, but did that stop another other versions of 'Star Trek' existing...??

Next Father Xmas will be a womanThat's the galactical point you are missing,Bond was never intended to be anything other than what he is,an institutionalised,emotionless,womanising,male killer - as such his character is dated but also timeless,and shouldn't be interfered with for the cheap reasons i previously stated.
If Bigga has an input.Next Father Xmas will be a woman
Anyone seen Toy Story 4?

A right load of bollocks to appease and pander to the PC crowd.
Have a black/gay/transgender/female/Martian.....play a secret agent by all means,just don't fuck with an institution for nothing other than effect.
But of a difference from where you stick your dick than a defined character, the books and character that Bond/007 came from are exactly that a white upperclass male, there was a lot of pissed of people with Cruise and the Reacher films.The same crowd who criticise non gay actor's/actresses for taking gay roles in films.
Funny that there's no real criticism from straight people when the reverse is true though.
