Why don't we just wait and see, if this "guy who can kick all sorts of ass" cannot be turned into a "woman who can kick all sorts of ass"?
Because a certain brand masculinity defined Bond.
"brand masculinity"? Do you mean "Bond defined masculinity"? It most certainly did not define mine.
I mean the screenwriters and books defined his...

Bond has always been relatively consistent, though the films had to temper other aspects of his character, such as his racism and, uh, stuff like this from the 7th novel, Goldfinger when Bond realized Tilly was a lesbian.

“Bond came to the conclusion that Tilly Masterton was one of those girls whose hormones had got mixed up. He knew the type well and thought they and their male counterparts were a direct consequence of giving votes to women and 'sex equality.' As a result of fifty years of emancipation, feminine qualities were dying out or being transferred to the males. Pansies of both sexes were everywhere, not yet completely homosexual, but confused, not knowing what they were. The result was a herd of unhappy sexual misfits--barren and full of frustrations, the women wanting to dominate and the men to be nannied. He was sorry for them, but he had no time for them.”


Then there’s a bit where after encountering Oddjob he think about wanting to put him “in his place”, which he refers all Koreans being below apes.

I’m sure all that would fly in 2020.

Dude, have you ever watched Sargon of Akkad or any one like him? The man has a million subs. I can promise you that this shit still flies. It is more accurate to say that people don't want to admit that it still flies.
Your president carries the nickname ''Pussy Grabber'' ffs.

Yeah, but the screenwriters and other books can redefine this character. Bond is not a sacred text, that shall not be re-interpreted. Plus - If I had endured the most painful version of Bond, which is Daniel Craig to me, so can those guys endure a female 007.
