SaysWho? Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Strangely, this originated from the Daily Mail, and everyone's picked up on it. So either they're talking to their own sources, or they could be jumping the gun because DM is suspect. Unconfirmed for now. Quote According to multiple outlets in the UK, the "Captain Marvel" star -- who played Brie Larson's best air force pal in the 2019 blockbuster -- will become the new 007 in what is being described as a "popcorn-dropping moment" in the franchise's 25th installment. The reports say that Daniel Craig -- who is still the same old James Bond we know and love -- is brought back from retirement at one point in the movie and introduced to Lashana's character, who's inherited his old code name. Supposedly, she keeps it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 If true, at this point, I love it just so people can show their true colors. Bond needs to be updated anyway. I used to not think that, thinking Bond always needed to be a white man representing the aging and crumbling old British empire, a relic of that era, but particularly after Brexit, yeah, I think that's over. Yeah, we're done with that narrative either way. I look forward to Craig's last hurrah either way. Best part? Incels getting angry once the movie is out that she treats men like sex objects in the movie. Being true to character, but not allowed if it's a woman amirite? I didn't mind it, because James Bond is an asshole, but remember when he used all those women in all those movies? Strap in people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 call me sexist all you want. James Bond should remain a guy. You want a female secret agent, fine, make an original one, even have her as part of the same world working for MI:6, make her 008 or 006. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 There are a lot of good Bond movies but I’ve never really looked forward to them. This at least peaks my interest. They also picked a great actress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The telling factor of your attacks against me is that an opposite vague opinion came before my post stating "I can't wait to hear the haters post about this," which you had no problems not mentioning when calling me out. So yea, either you didn't read this thread at all, don't care about opinions <vague as they be> as long as they line up with your own, or the crap-tacular "These are my boards and I'm a spoiled child" mentality of your post basically wants to squash any reasonable discussion about this news.

No. While all of the ancillary characters have changed, 007 the central figure of all the movies, while being played by half a dozen different actors, has always been James Bond.

You didn't say anything different than I did. All of them change. M switched genders in the 90s. 007 is a designation, not something necessarily exclusive to James Bond.
