Is a woman taking the role James Bond ? Well, after a lot of speculation as to Craig’s future in playing the character "James Bond", he’s finally announced that he’s done with it.
So, of course, Twitter was abuzz with who should be the next bespoke-suited super spy with the hashtag #NextBond. The usual names that have been kicked around for the past few years came up, everyone from Idris Elba to Tom Hiddleston, but interestingly enough, female names started to surface, including Emily Blunt and Gillian Anderson. The Wrap talks about Anderson’s response on Twitter that has had the world talking.
This comes at an interesting time in film, as a constant haze of controversy has erupted over the female-driven Ghostbusters reboot and the responses to it. If a Bond writer was weary about James Bond being black, imagine a woman taking the role? While the timing might seem right for a woman to step into the role, sometimes change is slow-going and with this series it feels like we still might not be there just yet, unfortunately.
But if u ask me.... i would say it's not a bad idea at all.
