We’re still likely months out from learning anything new about where the Bond franchise is headed post-James Bond.
The latest movie isn’t even out until April of next year, so I’m guessing the speculation will still be running rampant for a while.
Still, there has been a lot of talk about potentially changing the gender and race of the popular film character and people have feelings and arguments both for why they think a casting type switch would be a good idea and why it would not be in some ways.
It’s hard to tell if this rumored “Bond woman” phrasing will push any of those arguments forward in any way, but it is a reminder that the times are a changin’ as we move into the twilight of Daniel Craig’s run as the character.
