Meh. Fans have argued for decades that "007" and "James Bond" were titles or code names. Like the 60s song said - "they're giving you a number and taking 'way your name!"
Speaking of such, there are two funny mistakes in that - 'Ruby Arrow' should be 'Riviera', and 'bomb bay' should be Bombay. barfo
Daniel Craig killed the James Bond franchise for me. I stopped watching them after his second movie. I won't be able to watch any movies with Lashana Lynch as James Bond. I grew up watching James Bond, as soon she opens her mouth and says "I'm James Bond", I won't be able to make my head believe it. James Bond is a male role.
He will prob "retire" when his wife gets killed, I imagine in the beginning of the film and the black girl will be 007 as a stand in. A new actor will come back as Bond in 3 years. I imagine the black girl will be a total Mary Sue. I was hoping they would reboot Dr. No as it was taking place in Jamaica.
I really wanted to see Idris Elba. https://www.thedailybeast.com/lasha...taking-over-as-james-bond-its-about-damn-time
I really want Idris Elba as the next Doctor Who. I have never really given 2 shits about 007. I honestly don't care who plays Bond. Give it to Mike Pence. Fuck it.
At the end of the day none of this matters. If the movie doesn't make money, they won't keep making them.
All of this political correctness shit is fine and well, but it's the entertainment industry and these movies need to make money.
Only 5 movies have grossed over $2 billion and the same actress is in 3 of them. Maybe this move is about money. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0757855/?ref_=tt_cl_t7
Generally, people who make movies and comic books usually have sales as their primary target. I'm guessing they are wanting to branch out to other demographics. Several characters have undergone changes and it's no longer about the identity of character. They're wanting to plug and play, suck you into the movie theaters and take your money. I really don't care anymore. Just give me a quality movie with originality and excellent writing. I'm tired of all these superhero movies rebooting over and over (ie spiderman and batman).
Well, her roles in those movies weren't as a lead actress. Because you could say the same thing about the Vin Diesel, or Karen Gillan
