-Removed-Didn't see it. But Craig is a Brit, so I'm not all that surprised. I think American actors would be more amenable to a female Bond. Myself, I'd rather see a black Bond before a female Bond. I thought Idris Elba was a good pick for a black Bond.
I'm away now from most social media, internet yak-yak sites. The only internet I have where I am right now is my phone, so I'm self-limited, which I'm considering a good thing.
-Removed-I checked out your link (thanks for that, btw), and I think he's right. Women would be better served by having their own strong characters, rather than playing a traditionally male character. I get his point, shared as it is by Barbara Broccoli. There have been many spy/action-oriented movies with strong women leads in the past few years. Forcing a woman into the Bond role for the pure controversy doesn't do the genre any justice.
@suzianne saidHaving a female Dr Who worked well, due to the premise of that series (regeneration) but Bond should always be played by a male actor, as was intended by the author. A female Bond would indeed be a gimmick.

-Removed-Eh, some people like to stir the pot. Calling it virtue-signaling seems a bit overboard, but yeah, doing it for the controversy seems counter-productive. Let women choose how they wish to be represented.
If it were race instead of gender, it would be called cultural appropriation. We don't need to foster gender appropriation. Most women don't want to be men, after all. Let's not limit ourselves.
@chris-guffogg saidA Bond without shagging is like Star Trek with no space travel.
Can we have a Bond more like Jason Bourne who doesn't go around shagging and wandering into a King casino🤷♂️
Or are THEY going down the Rainbow Transgender 'ROOT'?
Place you bet's...🚬
@relentless-red saidBeam me up Scott Joplin.
That could work. The Vulcans could be musicians and set the whole thing in a jazz club. A Romulan could just be a type of drink that they serve. It would be a lot more mellow.
@relentless-red saidHeh, what kind of music do Vulcans play? Math rock?
