Surprise! Introducing the next Bond?...

Fuck that. I want a black, male James Bond, Batman and Superman. Why should we have to settle for replacement hero? I want to see black men as A list heroes in established genre universes. Absolutely zero reason why we shouldn't or couldn't play these characters.

Me too!

The more I read about this, the more I get the vibe that they're going to spin her off into her own movies under a different designation (006?). She's 007 at the beginning of the film, but Bond comes back and re-assumes the 007 designation.

Europeans are usually smarter about feminists issues than we are. Not so all or nothing. Plus, I don't see the owners of the franchise willing to risk killing their golden goose.

This is an attempt to nullify the calls for a black Bond. They can point to her and say, "Look, we have a black super agent in the franchise." Now, they can keep Bond and all of that alpha male, white woman magnate swagger, firmly in the hands of a the white male. This knocks Idris (and any other black actor) out of the running for the next Bond.

That's their strategy and it's working beautifully for them.

I hope he comes out of retirement because she ends up dying in the first 10 minutes of the film and he has to avenge his old agent designation.

They were considering a spin-off for her. I believe she mentioned that in an interview.

Attractiveness is reserved for Bond girls. She isn’t technically a Bond girl.

There is no such thing as "Bond Girls." That's demeaning and patronizing.

Now, they are called, "Bond Women." And because in 2019 every woman is considered beautiful ( no matter the size, shape or facial appeal) I would not expect her to conform to your misogynistic, outmoded standards of bea ... damn .. I'm sorry. ... I can't even bring myself to finish typing that Princess Feminism bullshit.

Does that make me a bad liberal?

It does.

How to redeem yourself:

Grow a beard and put a flower in it.

Any time you hear or see a black man do or say something a black woman wouldn’t like, yell at them for their toxic masculinity.

Develop and Oedipus Complex to appease the “sistas” (this will let them know that you don’t “hate your mother”).

Scream, “Yaaaasss” any time your gf asks if she looks good in her outfit.

And finally, listen to hipster indie girl-rock bands and braid your own hair.

Enjoy.

James Bond is an iconic character, he is like Batman or Robin Hood there is no way they are going to permanently replace him. The film business is like any other industry, it is all about profit, the simple truth is a Black Woman as the lead of a "Bond film" would be a humongous box office gamble (one that would have little chance of paying off) so I cannot see a scenario where a studio would do that.

Fair enough.
But not totally dismissing it. Think, Wonder Woman.

(I just noiced this was already covered in another thread. My bad)
