#QuantumOfSolace star Gemma Arterton says people would find a female James Bond 'too outrageous'
"Isn’t a female James Bond like Mary Poppins being played by a man? ... Sometimes you just have to respect the tradition"

If it's decent, I'm happy for Bond to be a f*cking otter.
Dirty martini but with a clam instead of olives
His spy car is a little submarine
Gold Finger can be Golden Fin, and the villain is a dolphin
His best tool to win at the end is a common rock inside his pocket
# hot young guys and an older voice on the phone - what's not to like?
Do it, studios!
Thanks for the idea, guy - what was your point again?
I would just rather see a new totally unique franchise.
what you want is a new story not a new franchise, which is what every Bond delivers
I wish they make a movie about other double Os. Sean Bean got a shot as 6 already.

It's a freaking organization with all sorts of 00's. Hell, Nomi from No Time To Die was the new 007!
Charlize Theron in Old Guard. Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Kate. To name two that pop into mind.
We don’t need to change the gender of a character. We can write new stuff so the convo isn’t about “how they changed it” and simply how good it is.
Then just branching off an established brand. Think it would undermine flemings work personally to make bond or 007 in fact be female or non British
The most interesting Bond movies portray him as the 'ideal male' (with hot women and cool suits/guns/cars); while contrasting that with the fact that he is deep down just a miserable emotionally repressed boy who can't grow up
That daid, a female protagonist would certainly be awesome, but then I'd prefer her to be another '00' agent. I's always cool to see other MI6 spies imo
BRING BACK ATOMIC BLONDE.
My point is, why put a female main character if you don't use it at your advantage to tell your story.
name her character without looking
