How about just sticking with the character as written in the books? If you want a black, non-binary spy hero, create your own IP and let it succeed or fail on its own. Don't hijack and established IP and repurpose it for some bullshite activism.

There's 0 chance Denis Villeneuve was going to make some shitty woke bullshite Bond.

The two guys leading for Bond are both very tall, big guys

Elba is a middle aged Englishman from Hackney, London and can absolutely crush playing suave and badass. As a lifelong Bond fam, I've never had a problem with Elba as a suggestion for Bond.

I could be wrong, but didn’t that already happen in one of the 70’s James Bond movies?

I wish they'd give Henry Cavill a shot. He was badass in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare playing the guy that Fleming based Bond on.

Unfortunately he was considered too young when they cast Craig and now he's probably considered too old at 43 to start a run as Bond.

He's too old for the role. He's 53. Need Bond to be late 30's to early 40's, then bow out at 53-55. He missed his opportunity since Craig held onto it for 15 years.

He's too old now unfortunately

The two guys they are considering, Turner and Elordi, are both much much younger

Amazon bought it

Amazon did Rings of Power

Good chance Bond is ruined.

And it’s a huge target for them

What do you think? Changing Bond to a POC, or gay, or anything that would change him from being white and straight.


Why does he need to be white though?

Pierce Brosnan was 43 in his first Bond film, Golden Eye.

Elliot Page and keeping him male.


It's bad enough they have this petite 5'1" woman cast as Achilles, the greatest warrior of his time.

Going to be some interesting angled camera shots for her duel with Hector.
I will have to look and see who is cast as Hector. Wynona Ryder?

I enjoyed Daniel Craig's effort as Bond.
Hopefully it is someone similar.

I think they can reach on the age. A 35 year old actor in the 60s looked 50. These days 50 year old actors look 35.

Plus Bond lives hard so I don't think looking a bit aged is outside the realm.
