Hollywood hasn't had a fresh idea since 1913. It's all retread ideas.
So I say push the Black Widow. The character is already its own thing. Smart, skilled, powerful. The lesbian angle is good. Womanizing sells in Hollywood heros. Maybe have her fight an evil gang of TERFs or something.
At first I was like "no" then I got to the second paragraph. I'd watch this for sure.
Honestly, I would love some femcel entertainment.
I really loved the lead in Send Help! Womanizing, loner, highly avoidant. This is the lesbian of my youth. This is who I want to see represented, not the tired old stereotypes.
We could also do all of that in an original IP. Why does it always has to be a reboot or a sequel or a remake or any other regurgitation
There is political strength in doing it like the last line said and using the established franchise.
Did you read the last line?
Screw that, make Modesty Blaise
Is her own character, so wouldn't get labeled "the female James Bond."
Has a cooler back story than James Bond
Has a cool cast of supporting characters
Is canonically awesome at martial arts, but will use guns when pressed
Already has a bunch of books and comics to use as source material
Has at least as many sexual adventures as Bond
Has a long-time male partner with whom she is emphatically not in a romantic relationship or a Will-they-won't-they situation
I was born for this role
Now, Euronews Culture can officially end all speculation by revealing that the identity of the new James Bond is... Irish actress and singer Jessie Buckley.
You read correctly: James Bond will be played by a woman for the first time, in the wake of Lashana Lynch briefly taking over the 007 mantle in Daniel Craig’s Bond swansong, 2021’s No Time To Die.
Buckley rose to fame following her role as Rose-Lynn Harlan in Tom Harper’s Wild Rose (2018). The 36-year-old followed that critically acclaimed turn with I’m Thinking of Ending Things, The Lost Daughter, Men and The Bride!, before taking home the Oscar for Best Actress this year for her performance in Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet.
She therefore becomes the first Oscar-winning performer to be cast as Bond.
More casting news was also revealed, with Tom Hiddleston playing the franchise’s first Bond boy - named Fitty McCrotch – and the new M is set to be portrayed by none other than Gillian Anderson. Both frankly inspired choices.
Thanks for reposting April's fools
Make it a bisexual woman aggressively turned on by older people
[off topic?]
Why can't we have a big budget Modesty Blaise movie?
And we already have Tessa Thompson looking great in a tux in The Marvels...
Get Abigail Thorn.
