Ooh, that would be very cool. Would support.
Would pretty much be the only way I'd support. I'm not a fan of racial washing iconic characters, in either direction.

My thing is for some characters, their race is an actual characteristic and for others, not so much. That's where I make the distinction.

If it works on screen I’m happy. Idris Elba as a Norse God, Gerard Butler as an Egyptian God, Quentin Tarantino as a Japanese mystic, Tadanobu Asano as a gunslinger. If it works it works. No harm really.

Bond would be a great opportunity for a transgender to take over an iconic role.

All about the equality. Never heard of a trannny discussed for Bond, and we are in the era.,,

Not too far from those protests existing in the future, really.

I've seen it mentioned a couple times, but are drowned out by the demands of a black Bond and a "Jane Bond"

I think I saw Tom Hardy even mentioned. Also thought that was funny because as society has gotten taller, Bond keeps getting shorter.
Peter Dinklage 4 Bond!!!

Yeah, I noticed that too. The last 6'2" Bond was Brosnan (though seemed shorter because he was next to a 6' Famke who also wore heels lol)
Dalton claims 6'1" while online likes to claim he was 6'2"

cavill is the favored front runner. he's 6'1. so maybe we'll have something like dalton or moore height again, from craig. not such a big deal to me though.

Favored by who? Hard to believe the studio would be interested in a guy who just got fired from Superman because they believed he was not a draw.

i've heard that he's favored by broccoli or the studio. (and apparently was the second to craig back then) i don't know why he was booted from the superman role.

I would be shocked. Mainly because he was just Superman in three movies, and without a rep as a box office draw, that is a lot of baggage.

was the failing of superman his fault, or the direction or writing of those films? (i thought batman v. superman was great. btw. so this is not based on my opinion)

Just watched Thunderball. What a sexy piece of ass Domino is. Fiona is very nice as well. So much winning for James in this one.
