A female Bond would be the dumbest shit ever.

Obviously he should remain a man. I cannot even hypothesize an argument to change the character’s sex.

She is right. She is also married to Craig.

^ can you provide examples of gender switching in action movie roles? Because I don't believe this is a "main" problem in Hollywood.

Not only that, @nxnwrocks, but I’d never heard of it. Anyone know of a single gender-swapped main character in Hollywood movies? But perhaps @deblovesbeccy only means that she’d prefer to see a female action heroine rather than a hero-to-heroine situation. (Does that make sense? I wrote the goddam sentence, and I’m not even sure if it’s clear!)

Ghostbusters (2016) Ocean’s 8 The Nice Girls Splash Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Kung Fu Overboard Commando The Greatest American Hero The League of Extraordinary Gentlewomen What About Barb? (Reboot of What About Bob?) Lord of the Flies The Rocketeer Road House The Expendables (All female cast)
There are a heap of them set to come out over the next few years which are remakes of old movies with male leads that are being replaced with female leads and to quote an article from the Guardian about it. www.theguardian.com/film/2017/sep/02/lord-of-the-flies-oceans-eight-hollywood-reboots-flipping-genderI would rather see more female lead novels and comic books adapted into movies 'cause there are HEAPS of awesome female characters that would be way better to see on screen than gender swapped remakes of old movies with male leads.

I stand corrected, Deb, and thanks for letting me know. I should have known about that Ghostbusters remake, but the whole thing seemed a tempest in a teapot to me; there were actually people all up in arms (on both sides) because of a Ghostbusters remake? Gee whiz. I too would rather see female-led movies rather than gender-swapped remakes; the latter seems awfully silly. Wonder Woman was particularly good, I thought.

If you want the main character to be different... "pass the torch" from an old character, to the new character.
It worked for the Rocky Franchise...
Rocky ==> Creed
Just do the same for the Bond franchise...
James Bond 007 ==> Jasmine Black 008
Why is this so difficult for people figure out?

It is hard to keep up with all the movies that are coming out at the moment but this is becoming a pattern going forward and literally nobody I know wants to see it and want to see more ORIGINAL movies and movies like I mentioned above. It is dumb 'cause they are most likely to flop and then they will turn around and use that as an excuse to not want to make female lead movies.

If someone wants a female James Bond why don't they just watch Atomic Blond or Salt?

Give Moneypenny her own film. Honestly, SKYFALL re-edited from her perspective could count as one.

If they want a female 007 then why not just introduce a new character in a Bond movie as his love interest/sidekick and let them get their own spin-off series? This idea was thrown around in the past, in the Brosnan era I believe - There were talks I think of Michelle Yeoh getting her own series after Tomorrow Never Dies, and I know there were definitely plans to do a spin-off with Halle Berry after Die Another Day but reception to that film was so less than stellar they had to do a full-on reboot of the franchise.

Thank you Rachel Weisz glad to see there are sensible people in the world.
I am not against a female spy movie that is like James Bond. But to make James Bond a woman is just stupid. They don`t need a female James Bond they need a new agent that is a woman who is i don`t know a 004 or 009 or something like that.
I am sick of them starting to just change genders of male characters to female. They should make new original female characters not make old male character women.
But lets be honest if a man had said it. He would get hell for it.
