James Bond bosses plotting ‘first female 007’ in major shake-up

As the James Bond franchise undergoes a major shake-up, word on the street is that the next leading 007 character could finally be a woman.

It was recently confirmed that Amazon MGM Studios would be taking over Bond after the Broccoli family ceased creative control.

Producers and half-siblings Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have ‘formed a new joint venture to house the James Bond intellectual property rights’, meaning they are still co-owners.

However, fans are still eagerly awaiting confirmation of who will be the next secret agent, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson having been the frontrunner for a while.

But as those rumours continue to swirl, it’s believed other plans are being put into place for Bond’s future, which could include exciting spin-offs.

According to industry insiders, bosses are discussing side projects involving CIA operative Felix Leiter, plus a prequel about MI6 secretary Miss Moneypenny.

The Hollywood Reporter detailed: ‘Sources close to the franchise say the streamer approached the Broccolis with pitches for a TV series based on Moneypenny, the MI6 secretary who’s been batting eyes at Bond since Sean Connery’s days, as well as a show about Bond CIA buddy Felix Leiter, and maybe even something involving a female 007.’

It’s believed that former producers Wilson and Broccoli were not interested when the ideas were pitched to them in the past.

Now that Bond is at Amazon’s disposal, though, it seems talks are being had once again.

As for A-listers who might be getting a call, it’s been reported that the first spin-off, The Moneypenny Diaries, could feature none other than Florence Pugh as Miss Moneypenny herself.

How about a Black George Washington? Or a gay Lincoln? Or a Lady Ike? A transgender Elliot Ness? Or maybe a white actor play Martin Luther King? That would be controversial.

Yet another money-making franchise will be destroyed by insufferable idiots.

When will they learn. Nobody will go to see this. No, Body. They tried this with Star Wars and it bombed. They tried this with Ghostbusters and it bombed. They tried this with Marvel and it bombed.

Yeah that's because Harrison Ford was too old to continue acting as Indiana Jones. Four decades past his prime.
