Bond A Woman?

Halle Berry on Bond as a woman:

“I want women to be tough but I don't know if Bond should be a woman,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I mean, that series is steeped in history, you know Ian Fleming's stories. I don't think you can change Bond to a woman.”

Berry, who played a Bond girl in the 2002 film Die Another Day, continued: “We can create a new Bond character that's a woman, and give her a new name, based on that theory, but I don't know if bond should be a woman.”

There's always discussion as to whether James Bond, super spy should ever be a woman or a Black dude. Answer: Nope. And the only people who ever have these discussions are Americans. Why? Because the British are uber-racist. I use "racist" and not "bigots" because they openly tell you like it is. Americans have that in us to see what-if. British are a little more protective of the legacy which is why princes and kings and queens and jesters still exist in that country.

Just make your own spy franchise away from Bond. Yes, they've fucked up royally (see that) in Bond stories, or that we probably have more bad Bond movies than good at this point, but it's cinema of the past that its hanging on to. It's tradition, and that is something
