I dont see the issue with this, but the reveal clearly screams of the producers virtue signalling and hoping for a cyber pat on the back from Tumblr. If kept quiet and revealed in the movie, yes, that would have been a great, memorable moment that would have caught everyone by surprise. But the producers have blew their load early. I doubt it'd have taken people by surprise, people have been conditioned to expect these things in their franchises due to how many of them have done it in consistent succession. Bond is following, not leading, in this regard.

And even if it wasn't, someone was going to leak it out unless there's tight security over it because that's the entertainment industry these days.

Doesn't Cavill actually like, really want the job? He's my age, 36...so he's good, age wise. Roger Moore was like in his early 60s when he did his last Bond film, wasn't he? I know it's because they couldn't get anybody else in time, but still. If we were going to have a gay bond, Rupert Everett would have been perfect twenty years ago. If we had lived in a more enlightened society. Hell, he would have been a great Bond if he was playing straight. My favorite Bond story though, is when Dick Van Dyke was filming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Broccoli offered him the role for the next movie. Van Dyke goes, "Have you heard my British accent?" referring to Mary Poppins. And Albert Broccoli goes, "Oh yeah, that's right." and pulls the offer. lol. I think Rodge was 57

I’d be very interested in a film about a hard drinking, sexually promiscuous, sociopathically violent female Bond. If they want to make that film I’m absolutely on board. If they want to continue the questionable quality of the Craig films (they’re already bringing back Blofield), no thanks. How about a female agent who isn't Bond but is in the same universe and is like I dunno, 003?

Oh good, sounds like Bond is retired. That’s a fresh take. Maybe he’ll go rogue too? Can't Craigs Bond ever just go on a f***ing mission like good old Roger, Sean, Pierce and all the others

I dont think Juggernaut been in Deadpool 2 leaked early. Announcing it like this just seems. Announce her casting sure, but keep the fact she's 007 a secret as the big shock for the movie

Again, I find the outrage over a casting hilarious. Like, did nobody watch Spectre? Bond left. Somebody had to take the 007 designation. It's like when there's a new Lord Seeker in Dragon Age. It's a code name, a title. So let's chill with the "I just feel it's pandering..." hot takes. Cause if y'all gonna act like the entirety of Bond's character hasn't been pandering/wish fulfilment from the jump? Yo... Come on, now.

Can't Craigs Bond ever just go on a f***ing mission like good old Roger, Sean, Pierce and all the others f***ing seriously... can we stop with the rogue agent or I'm retired now... for like ever... that seems like all Craig's ever done...

It's a code name, a title.. Yeah, the prhasing I've only see was she's 007... which is a code name... yeha we've been lead to believe that's James Bond's number... but if Bond is fully out... do you think they're never going to use it again?

Why would they keep secrets? Of course they want the buzz/publicity. The talk now is free advertising

I say this in the Ariel thread too. It would be nice to think that people in Hollywood are sincere about inclusion, but it's easy to be cynical because of the nature of the industry and about people being "progressive for progressive's sake" and all that. Then when you have directors who are confrontational about the matter like Paul Feig was, who make the issue even more hostile.
So it's "not going to be Bond"? Because having a bunch of non-Bond people be 007 worked SO well the first time, in 1967.
/With a groovy soundtrack, though. //And I guess anyone's better than Woody Allen.

If the "anyone can be 007" thing is too jarring, maybe they could use a Bond relative...a nephew, perhaps?

I was more talking about how in like the first episode of James Bond Jr. they had IQ talking about how Q told him everything and such... which... you know I'm pretty sure MI 6 would frown upon...
