Wouldn't be surprised. The new Dr. Who is a woman.
Presenting Jane Bond in "Octodicky" - doesn't have the same ring to it.

I didn't know James Bond was also a Time Lord.
Why don't we get to see his regenerations?

That would be a bad idea for sure as 'James Bond' is clearly a male. it's unchangeable. they would have to be out of their minds to even seriously consider changing 007 to a female.
if they want a female James Bond type of character... then your going to have to come up with something new as you just don't mess with iconic characters like 007 and the male 007 must continue on like usual for over 50+ years now.
Hell, making James Bond as a black guy would at least be a slight possibility unlike changing 007 to a female. but in the end James Bond is white and that's that. that's one character you just don't mess with. but with that said... it would be easier to adjust to a black James Bond instead of basically completely changing things with a female which won't even be a Bond movie at that point.

No, Bond is male and should stay that way.

THE ONLY acceptable thing to do would be to have JB get married to a female spy and have him get injured during a mission and his new wife finish the assignment.

After Daniel Craig let's worry about the next 007 actually being a proper James Bond before we get ourselves all excited about him being a woman...

I thought that's what Atomic Blonde was for?

I was watching Maggie Q stomping fools 2x to 3x as big as her in MI movies and, basically, no. I'm sure there are some women out there who can kick some men's asses, but it's straining credulity.

No. I don't think she will be 'Jane Bond' or '007.' It is more likely they will have her as 001 or 006 or something and that way they could have them team up together in a future movie if it is successful. I would rather see a movie of 'Alias' though. Sydney Bristow will always be the best spy to me and Jennifer Garner, Michael Vartan, David Anders, Rachel Nichols and Carl Lumbly have all said they would love to make an 'Alias' movie or a continuation like '24: Live Another Day' but JJ Abrams has to be attached to it.

I feel Bond's masculinity is kinda integral to the character. I have no problem with a black Bond though.

Let's just make Bond a black Muslim transexual lesbian and get it over with.

Can we stop trying to treat James Bond like every stereotype has to have a turn or else |

Except there is absolutely no point in doing it since there are literally dozens of qualified acceptable white actors to do it. Making him black would just be an obnoxious political statement and there are plenty of roles for black actors, just ask the marvel universe who has fury, panther and almost the entire cast of that film, falcon, rhodey, heimdal, shocker, kurse, gamora, liz, korath, dave, valkarie, luke cage and almost the entire cast of that show, Claire, Baron Mordo, Daniel Drumm, and the list goes on. People who think bond is somehow this goal for every racial stereotype to get a turn at, are part of the problem. |

Except there is absolutely no point in doing it since there are literally dozens of qualified acceptable white actors to do it. I don't think there's a point in doing it- I'm not crying out for a black Bond. I just think since his race isn't an integral part of the character it doesn't matter what race of actor they cast. That Bond's always been white before is I think a pretty unimportant consideration. Roger Moore and Daniel Craig had much fairer hair than Connery, Lazenby, Dalton and Brosnan and I don't think anyone would argue that mattered, or even that a darker haired actor would have been preferable to Moore or Craig. Bond's hair colour is not important to the character. Neither is his skin colour. Casting a woman is different though. Bond was defined as the man men wanted to be and women wanted to be with. Making him a woman would be a radical change - there would be no continuity of the character at all. |

Making him a woman would be a radical change - there would be no continuity of the character at all. The only part that matters is that since there are dozens of perfectly qualified white actors to do it, chosing a black actors becomes just a blatant political statement. There's no reason to do it, other than to go out of your way to do it. And I would argue his hair color is an issue by itself. If you just went red head bond (and I'm a red head), it's weird. There's no reason to do it. |

I didn't say it would be worse, there's just not real reason to make a change to the design of the character unless you're doing it just to make a statement, which is obnoxious. |
