The names Bond,
Jane Bond...
A right load of bollocks to appease and pander to the PC crowd.So, some time ago there was a discussion on the next phase of the 'Bond' franchise and what it should be.
Should the character be Black, White, a man or a woman?
Many argued for tradition and some argued that '007' was just a code number that anyone can have.
It seems the latter has been acted upon now, thanks to Waller-Bridge and Craig.
'007', apparently, will both be Black AND a woman; actress Lashana Lynch who played 'Monica Rambeau' in "Captain Marvel".
Cue online racists, hair ripping, dogs kicked and plenty of plates smashed in protest...

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.
Invariable Bond is action though, and action films are usually male dominated, just can’t see a woman been able to carry the franchise, sorry but, she comes up against a Jaws character in a fist fight she’s fucked, unless it’s Bella Emberg. I can’t think of a female action star who would be able to do this.No 'Bond' being used for this character, actually (I know you were being facetious), but a totally new addition.
Looking forward to a LOGICAL move forward in the franchise using the code name.
This means a character can be offed and re-birthed whenever a fair run has been exhausted.
I've argued this before and I think it's the right way to go.
Wow, didn't know a code name could only be assigned to a stringent demographic...

tbf the code name is 007, the man name is james bond.
Couldn't give a shite personally if he is black, white, asian, but he is a bloke.
They could just update it and have him die or retire and his daughter(he probably has 100s of kids if honest) be a junior agent unknown to bond and M let her take over the 007 mantle, after all bond must be about 70 by now and up for retirement.
That'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.Well, logic would point to retirement thus giving up the code name. 'James Bond', in this incarnation, will always remain a man.
Time to move forward.
