This why not make new franchises instead of gender sealing a character. There are so many stories out there why tell he same ones just gender or race swapped. Tell new ones that feature the gender or race you want.

It makes chuds annoyed. And that's about as good a reason to do anything! I'm all for race and gender-swapped Bond!

The reason why the industry regurgitates IP is because the general public and the industry are lazy as fuck.

You could make a brand new super hero but it won't be as popular as retelling the Batman origin story for the 30th time.

Same goes for James Bond. I personally think if they want to continue that universe, and introduce a female spy as lead. Just create a new character, give her the number 005, and make the damn movie. I don't want a 007 Jane Bond but I'm down with a 005 Jane Smithe. Retrofit some shit about James training her before he died. Put Craig in flashbacks or something, and go from there. Hell, you could even make it Moneypenny. In the universe they had a working relationship, she worked in the field with Bond in the previous movies, and maybe she is promoted to 005 after he died. The first movie could be her transition to spydom, learning the ropes, getting promoted, and stumbling into some super villain storyline - which isn't fully resolved at the end for the next movie. I'd totally watch Naomie Harris as 005 kicking ass and taking names.

Of course you know that won't happen. They'll do the bullshit they did in No Time to Die.
