Yes. Sean Connery and Daniel Craig being the EXACT SAME PERSON makes TOTAL sense.

It's was the same character all the time which obviously they had to recast but white middle age men dont just turn into a young black woman

So you think the first Bond movie to the current one is a continuous story with the same character?

Ok.

Ok.

Every single actor has played the same character that's a fact

That was only true up until 'Die Another Day', that being said, they never really had any call backs or hints to the past so it might as well have not been.

Since Casino Royale, it has been a continuing story, and thanks to that, in Spectre, it seems Bond does retire from being 007 (also because he is getting older), so it only makes sense that another Agent would take his double 0 position, and it just so happens that Agent is a woman, its not a big deal, its just the same deal as Sean Bean being 006.

Did they not outright state on Casino Royale's release that it was a semi-reboot? I personally think anything pre Casino Royale needs to be taken as a previous version of the story. Some of the events that happened in those films MAY have happened to this Bond (e.g. I think having been married has been mentioned?) but... Only in the same way that MCU's Peter Parker has a dead Uncle Ben. Having elements of the back story doesn't mean its a continuation of the same character.

I think people are being exposed a little here. There's always been backlash against James Bond 007 (the actual character) being recast as a different sex / race and I personally agreed with that, because I like continuity in movie sequels. However. I was always fine with and am still fine with Bond retiring and a new 007 of whatever description the writers want taking over the role and that seems to be the way they're going.

But lo and behold... A lot of people who claimed they didn't want "a black bond" because it didn't make sense, are STILL not happy with a black (or female? Or both?) 007 even though it is being made clear that it's a brand new character.

Funny that, isn't it.

This is obviously just to wind some easily susceptible people up
Even if it's true she's just taking the number not actually becoming Jane Bond

Thread title is pretty misleading

[user104658]

Did anyone even read the article? .

James Bond is still the lead of the film but he's brought out of retirement. This is the new agent with the code 007, but won't be called James Bond. She's not even the lead of the film, let alone the "new James Bond". I'd imagine if she's popular as (what will clearly be) the sidekick in this upcoming film, she might get a spin-off. But they're not making bold moves here, just dipping their toes in the water and poking some fun at the people who they know would be outraged (and will probably still manage to be outraged that James Bond isn't 007 any more and the new 007 - a completely different character and not the title role - is a black woman)

...she isn’t anyone’s ‘assistant’ though, Arista...she’s another agent who is given his code name but she’s not James Bond obviously...but she’s an equal agent...there is no mention of assistant...

I mean technically if he's being brought out of retirement to help, and she's the new full time 007, doesn't that make him HER assistant?

....hmmmm, well if he’s technically retired...and she’s been given his operative name...that would make her something like ‘...O07, The Agent Who Used To Be James Bond’...and he would be freelance../..like a consultant...or maybe a rogue agent..?...

[Ammi]

...(..you’ve made me think about this.....)...but yeah he can’t be her assistant if he doesn’t work there anymore...he’s a special consultant or whatever...

If this is true then thats me not watching any films with a woman in the 007 role. Black is fine but not a woman. Idris Elba for the role when Craig has had enough

If they're going with this storyline, why not choose someone hot?

Just bin this Fleabag rubbish.
