If they're changing up the whole cast then I can't see the issue with a Bond of any race - it's effectively a reboot. It would be a bit daft to cast someone of a different race in a direct sequel, for obvious reasons. But if they're changing M etc. then it's not an issue?

Bit of a bizarre choice for M I have to say, and at first I thought, well, maybe she's going to take us by surprise and be great and they'll know what they're doing ... ... ... but then there's this:

"Daisy is a close pal of Phoebe, whose involvement in Bond was such a success that it sparked an unlikely conversation"

Which strikes me as a long-winded way of saying "Yes it's nepotism "
