Bond is a little different in the sense that "007" is not a single person but an agent who has been replaced many times over throughout the decades, so going with a different race and/or gender bond isn't that farfetched, but I still feel like this is going to bomb.

I wasn't saying that it worked, the success of Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel show that there can be female leads as long as there is an already established audience and if the movie is actually good story, plot, character development etc etc. Oceans 8 and Ghost Busters just replaced the men with women and thought they could sell tickets and half ass the movie. i have a feeling this is a latter issue where the "Bond 25" movie is ass and they're throwing in a gender swap to hide it and sell tickets. Craig thought Spectre in 2015 would be his last movie he had that famous quote about cutting his wrists then play Bond again. There's already "creative differences" in Bond 25 with the former director and the writers and producers.
