Bond..... James Bond.

'The name's Bond. James Bond. Pronouns: Them/they.'
He may be an enduring symbol of masculinity, but Britain's most famous spy could identify as 'non-binary' in future, 007's producer has revealed.
Barbara Broccoli has poured cold water on suggestions the role could go to a woman… but in a new interview, she conceded a future Bond could be 'non-binary' – someone who considers themselves neither male or female, and usually prefers to be referred to as 'they' rather than 'he' or 'she'.
Speaking to the Girls On Film podcast, Ms Broccoli talked about the hunt to replace Daniel Craig who is stepping down from the role after No Time To Die.
When host Anna Smith asked if she thought 007 would always be male, she replied: 'I do, because I don't think that we should be making films where women are playing men.
'I think we should be making more films about women. I think Bond will be a man.'
Smith suggested 'Non-binary, perhaps, maybe one day?' to which Ms Broccoli replied: 'Who knows? I mean, I think it's open. We just have to find the right actor.'
Ms Broccoli, who controls the 007 franchise through her Eon Production company, also said the next Bond might not be white, adding: 'We want the actor to be British… and British, as we know, can be many things.'
Names linked with the role include Idris Elba, Bridgerton's Rege-Jean Page, Mad Max star Tom Hardy and Bodyguard actor Richard Madden.
Last night, one Hollywood producer said: 'Bond has to adapt to the times but a non-binary 007 might be hard for fans to accept

Another franchise destroyed.
Craig was pretty much the worst of the 007’s.
Moore, Connery, Brosnin were all good. I think Tom Ellis(Lucifer) would make a good one.
Haha, if they want 5 viewers they will do this...
Didn’t they already try the non-binary angle with Roger Moore as James Bond?
No. Do not want.
Just, no.
Don’t ruin my childhood with this Bond blasphemy.
Broccoli is bananas.
This is the worse Bond idea since Fleming had James order his martini shaken not stirred.
No Time to Die SUCKED, despite the Rotten Tomatoes rating. I sat gritting my teeth watching a cold blooded killer crying over lost relationships, begging forgiveness. When they killed him off at the end, I knew the franchise was dead.
Well gee if it can happen to SuperMAN , I suppose it can happen to anyone.
Well, it seems Ms. Broccoli identifies as a vegetable, so fine. I won’t watch.
Casino Royale was good. But the series dropped the ball after that. The writing was not good. It seemed that Craig took himself too seriously. Gritty.
007 was supposed to be confident. Capable of jokes. So we are missing this aspect with craig.
One possible idea for reboot. 007 will return to '50s and '60s during the Cold War era where Soviet Union was #1 enemy.
Jumping the Hydrolectric Space Shark on an Invisible Nuclear Hoverboard.
Just end it.
They’re tired of making money with Bond ?
As others have noted, LGBTs NEVER create their own characters, they only destroy existing characters.
Thank goodness John D. MacDonald’s “Travis MaGee” book series ended before the squishes had a shot at it.
Also considering making him/her/it into ropes and chains. Of course they would have the change the character name from James Bond to James Bound.
...I’ll show myself out.
It could also be non watched.....like lots of other Woke movies and TV shows.
