Is anyone seriously actually pushing for a female James Bond, or was this just the product of a Twitter# or something?
Nothing controversial about what Craig said. It doesn't make any sense no matter what way you turn it.
Make a 008 series, and make it a girl. Solved.
Sounds about what I expected.It's mainly a social media thing involving two annoyingly vocal sides, one side being vocal about how Bond franchise should be more diverse by making Bond a POC/female and the other side being anti-woke reactionaries (particularly on Youtube), who overreacted over the fact Bond's replacement for his 007 status after he left following the end of Spectre was a black woman (mostly to push a narrative for cheap clicks).
However, EON themselves have openly stated Bond would never be played a woman.
Outside a few sad films like 1917, nothing they’ve made in the last 3-4 years has interested me at all. Hollywood gets almost no money from me anymore. Def voting with my walletThe thing it, the more woke Hollywood has become, the more I find myself simply uninterested in their product and other things fill that space in my life. So let them do it and millions of fans will simply tune out.
But realistically, they won’t do it. “Get woke go broke” may not have fully set in but it’s becoming an increasingly inescapable reality for businesses/investors. Unless you’re operating in a narrowly defined niche, broader audiences just don’t want a heaping dose of politics to go with everything they consume.
Daniel craig doesn’t think the next James Bond should be a woman.
Craig will play the legendary Britishspy for the final time in “No Time To Die,” and there is certainly a massive search underway behind the scenes for his replacement.
However, those hoping Craig would endorse the idea of it being a woman are going to be disappointed.
The answer to that is very simple. There should simply be better parts for women and actors of color. Why should a woman play James Bond when there should be a part just as good as James Bond, but for a woman,” Craig told the RadioTimes.com when asked if the next 007 should be a woman.
"I will never understand people who think James Bond should be a woman. It makes no sense at all. They are aware that the character very literally has the name of a male"?
James Bond is supposed to be a member of high society and a womanizer. How are we going to stick to the origins of the character if we just switch it to a woman?
Jane bond? Or perhaps James bond the trans LOL
They should try it and see the massive box office failure that it'll be.

They made Doctor Who a woman. The viewership cratered.
Naturally, the Beeb is blaming everything except making Doctor Who a woman.
