If James Bond in the next movie is not a transgendered lesbian woman of color, I will not attend!

Broccoli is the daughter of the James Bond producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and actress Dana Wilson Broccoli (born Dana Natol).

In 1995, Cubby Broccoli handed over control of Eon Productions, the production company responsible for the James Bond series of films, to Barbara and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson; they continue to run the company as of 2019.

Why do they even bother anymore.

A line from the next Bond movie has been leaked.

“My name is Bond, Transgendered Bond.”

How about a remake of “Shaft” with George Clooney in the title role?

Wasn’t too long ago that the same thing was said about Doctor Who. Then BBC got involved, and the show turned into a woke, PC crapfest.

Putting women into popular male roles has been a mistake, as box office numbers show.

Actually, Bond can’t be “any color” if you care about his backstory.

He’s a Briton who’s family is/was the landed gentry. That makes him white. Sorry.

Of course they’d just get around that by...you know, not caring about his backstory.

Of course James Bond can't be a woman.

But 007 could easily be a woman. How many times did Bond work with a female counterpart from another country?

Oh come one. A transgender male would be perfectly fine. And he can have periods, which would add to the intrigue.

Fleming clearly mentioned in the book Bond was a white male.

But hey, we have a black Hamilton.

If I had ever won the Powerball I would make new Shaft movie with a white gay male character and watch black heads explode.

I believe Fleming described Bond pretty well early on. Fictional character, sure, but he’s a white guy. Nothing else makes any sense.

I’m sure Ian Fleming would agree.

Not.

Yeah, but James Bond beds a variety of women in all his movies. He’s called a stud. If you have a female Jane Bond bedding man after man she’ll be called a slut. On the other hand, if she too beds woman after woman, the movie will be a hit in certain circles.

Make him a transgender man (woman who identifies as a man) that prefers to be called James Bond, problem solved. /sarcasm

Since she feels that way, she should have it, officially in writing, that James Bond will never, ever, be a woman.

I’d like to see a Zulu warrior in full garb as Bond, James Bond. But being as they kicked the Brits to the curb long ago, it probably wouldn’t be much to ‘Marvel’ at on the big screen.

I have pretty much lost interest in the Bond franchise. There is only so far one can go with something as formulaic as Bond. I perked ap a little for the Craig reboot, but I did not care a lot for his following films. I have the Blu-ray of Spectre which I still have not watched.

They've been doing the films now for over 50 years. It's not surprising that he's jumped the shark and that he does not fit into today's PC culture.
