Thoughts about a female 007

Is she still gonna bang 10/10 females? Cause that's a big part of the character.....

Came here to say this.

Wasn't the 00 designation the license to kill? Certainly there have been other 00 agents. 007 is James Bond and the character was defined by Sean Connery's portrayal and pretty well followed by Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. The role seemed to change with Daniel Craig.

Was a man named James Bond given the 007 designation or does anyone who is given the 007 designation become James Bond? If it works the last way, anyone checking into a hotel as James Bond is instantly recognized as 007. The point of being a secret agent is the secrecy. Maybe they should have changed the character's name when they changed actors but they didn't. It's not as difficult to imagine a Black man named James Bond as it is to have a woman named James Bond.
 
They'll get some obese gal if they did.

And tell us how empowered she is being in a man's world.

And we should find her sexy too. And question our "fragile masulinity" if we don't find her sexy.

Spy was a great movie. How you do that is make the joke about how incompetent everyone else is not about fat girl. Jason Statum was awesome in it too.

Atomic Blond already went there of course. Probably the big choice with a female 00 agent film would be do you make her either a slightly grizzled hardass or do you make her a glam tempress/ninja?

The reality of course is the films were never really that concerned with continuity before Craig but there were certainly some people who liked to think "James Bond" was actually a code name that various difference people had taken up explaining the shifting actors.

In the Craigverse I'm guessing its 00's are elite agents and there are a certain number of them, 7, 10, 12, 20 or something and when Bond retires someone else steps up to take the 007 role.
