‘Jane Bond?’: Prime Minister Calls for Woman to Portray Iconic Playboy Spy
Breitbart ^ | 12/28/2017 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 12/28/2017 10:30:32 AM PST by longtermmemmory

Fictional Cold War warrior James Bond should be played by a woman, Theresa May has said, hailing the new female Doctor Who as a victory for “girl power”. Speaking on a flight to Cyprus last week, where she gave a Christmas address to troops at RAF Akrotiri, the prime minister revealed she was a fan of the BBC science fiction show Doctor Who, and lauded the public broadcaster’s decision to cast Jodie Whittaker in the iconic time traveller’s role.

“I think it’s a great move forward for girl power that there is going to be a female Doctor Who. And one day there should be a female James Bond,” she told reporters.

May added she had heard that actor James Norton was tipped as the next actor likely to play the fictional spy and Royal Navy Commander created by writer Ian Fleming in 1953.

I would like to see a transgender Bond /s. That would satisfy a whole bunch of movie-goers.

The Bond franchise is the Avengers reformulated for naffs. In his dreams James Bond aspires to be as cool, in-control, sophisticated, and popular with the ladies as John Steed.

the latter killed capaldi’s credibility. May is euopean not british. that is why she betrayed the UK in brexit negotiations.

her job was to surrender like a good useful idiot.

This has already been tried many times - The Avengers, Femme Nikita, SALT, Mr. and Mrs. Smith etc. If it had legs (no pun intended) it would already be a genre.

Judi Dench was great in the M role, but they can never feminize the Bond role.

Charlize Theron in “Atomic Blonde” came close. They should definitely cast her as Jane Bond.

The intelligent thing would be to have a female 005 or some such partner with Daniel Craig, and see if she clicks enough with the audience to give her her own movie later, rather than risk killing the Bond franchise.

Why not create another spy character?
Because the real intent is a war between the sex’s for political purpose.
It’s all ridiculous and they should just be shamed and humiliated but the masses of “Eurocastrati” will sing praises in their little pip squeak angel voices.

James Bond is a white man.

Period.

A pansy male identifying as a female would be simply fabulous. Then they could have a Bond Boy to costar.

True. They can’t figure out to make heroic women who are feminine at the same time.

The problem with her was that she was playing his ‘mother’ instead of his boss.

Daniel Craig has done well, Casino Royale is one of the best in the entire stable. Connery was the best, ROger Moore made it too silly.
