Sorry, Ian Fleming pretty well described Bond physically in his books. The closest actor to him was Sean Connery. If you want someone who strays far from that, he or she needs to be 00 something else.

Just call the new "them/they" Zero.

All things considered these days, probably Cock Robin.

Hey, did you know there's a musical group named Cock Robin? I remember when their video was on MTV back in the day.......I liked their stuff. I'm glad you said their name.....I really need to see if I can find their music on Youtube or something.

No, I don't remember them. It's fun going back and finding some of those old music videos. I know the cat stories are over in the presidential race thread, but I had a kitten that loved music videos - Don't Bring Me Down by ELO seemed to be her favorite.

Not bad, but I don't remember them.

They weren't around for long. This was the early 80s or late 70s. Their sound was different that caught me.
It was MTV, which at that time, they had someone next in line after a two week showing.

I’m pretty socially liberal, but, I mean, the Bond character is male. He is James Bond. That’s not sexist or chauvinistic, it’s just the way it is.

I assume she is going to just be 007 and not "James Bond". It's going to be a different character, same universe. We did a Bourne movie without Bourne, and nobody cared. Why can't the Bond universe have another spy story? Not everything has to be political and bunch up everybody's underwear. The series needs a shot in the arm. I'm a lifelong fan of Bond and didn't see the last one, cared so little for the one before that I don't even remember it.

Does anybody have a link? I can't find anything on Google. All I've seen is Pierce Brosnan saying it should be a woman.

Eh, technicality. Make it be a 008 agent or something. I still think this is stupid.

More stupid than the same spy dodging bullets and surviving impossible odds 1,000 times?

He's not the first 007 and he's not going to be the last, IIRC.

Why? Was it stupid to have Renner's Bourne? Was Mad Max Fury Road stupid?

It would be stupid to have Angelina jolie’s Bourne. If you think otherwise, then have at it.

James Bond 007 is a man. This isn’t hard, to most of us anyway.
