On one hand, the Bond movies have drifted so far from the tone of the original Fleming stories that you could probably have a transgendered Inuit paraplegic play the lead character and get away with it.

On the other hand, the character Fleming created was a composite of himself (not a black guy) and a dozen or so folks he knew of in the spy trade (none of whom, as best I can tell, were of anything other than the Caucasian persuasion):
