For context: the plot of this film sees Bond having retired from MI6 to a bungalow in Jamaica, but is pulled back in by Felix Leiter, Bond's CIA opposite and friend, for One Last Job. Lashana Lynch is playing a new MI6 agent and the inheritor of the 007 codename, which Bond forfeited when he retired.

So, no, Bond is not being recast as a black woman and the biggest complaint I've heard outside of this forum, so far, has been that it isn't Idris Elba. Which... yeah, he would have been cool to see.

As y'all can probably guess, I'm fine with this turn.

Wasn't what people were afraid that James Bond himself would turned into woman but that's not what they are doing. So I don't see problem with having 007 who is black woman as long as James Bond is still man. He might have had 007 codename but he doesn't own that codename. So it makes sense that it would go new MI6 agent who in this case happens to be black woman.

I'd be cool with that too then.

I'm totally fine with it, but am just full of all the progressive prospect it entails. "Make her a lesbian/bisexual!!" I saw Atomic Blonde. It was great. I want a sequel to it. What's wrong with that? We need fireworks for adopting a waning iconism?

But really this lady can make it fun, I know it. I'm not gonna wet my pants when Bond's charms don't work on her, as if it hasn't been done or it's out of left field when it happens in all the recent movies.

Touchdown on misogynistic male hero that people mostly look up to for his espionage skills.

I saw Atomic Blonde drunk on plane. Not remember what happens at the end. Prequel perhaps?
