It's pathetic liberal/Hollywood pandering pure and simple.
Apparently, she is going to be so-and-so agent (insert name) and get the MI-6 ID Number 007.
Bond retires and she takes his spot.
But it is still pandering.
Woman, black, probably dyke.
Why not just go full Omar Muslim?

I don't know if she already has it, then Bond comes out of retirement, or this is how the new movie ends.
If this is how it ends, well, then it is all over.
It's the same bullshit with Idris Elba.
Why not just create a new Double 0 agent? Make him 005 or 008... or 001?
You think fans would complain? A new, cool Double 00 character someone could create from scratch?
James Bond fans would be happy to be getting two such movies for every one.
Why does a black guy have to be James Bond?
Why does he have to be Captain America?
Why does Thor have to be a girl?
This is the bullshit. And is what Pray_4_War is trying to say.
You would think blacks who think of themselves as talented, would be very pissed at stuff like this, but...
You would think blacks who think of themselves as creative writers would jump at the chance to create interesting black characters in all types of genres, but...
