007 being a woman isn't new to the franchise.

In the very first movie, there are several fake 007s planted in the hotel. Some are women; no one seems to think this makes them obvious fakes. So it stands to reason that originally:

1. Who the 007 designation belonged to was unknown.
2. The employed female agents
3. There was reason to fear female agents

That said, I doubt they'll recognize all of this in their effort to be "woke"

Out of respect for Sean Connery, they need to just kill the James Bond franchise.


Coming from a huge childhood fan of Bond, it's been dead to me for years.

In male roles. But the rush to show women on screen as masculine is very much alive.

I buy it in super hero movies because it makes sense in those fictional worlds. Any sort of movie grounded in reality it's hard to take seriously.

Men that just want to bitch about stupid low key sexist shite. I love the John Wick movies but he isn't actually capable of killing 300 people in a night

You just knew that this movie was going to suck when the early interviews had quotes like this:

quote:

"We had one conversation about her maybe being on her period in one scene, and maybe at the beginning of the scene — and I spoke to Cary about this — throwing her tampon in the thing," says Lynch, making a motion of tossing trash into the bin. (She's mum about whether it made it in.)

Who the hell would want to see that?

Some overweight, untrained loser killed over 50 in Las Vegas in one night. I reckon Wick could get multiples of that.

So wait, is she a new bond for future films or is she the new bond in this film that’s coming out because Craig is quitting?
