From what I understand, No Time to Die is already expected to be woke as a joke... with a black 007 in the end.
Daniel Craig's last Bind film, has been in the can over a year awaiting post covid release - probably Summer or Fall. Daily cases plummeting, it's time to reopen everything now. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailytrendscases
A black female, that is. They didn't even get a looker for the part: No Time To Die’s New 007 Replacement Confirmed by Star
I’ve enjoyed the Craig movies. The scripts so far have been good, and his character is as close to Ian Flemming’s creation as any of the others, George Lazenby in HMSS being a close second. I want to give this last Craig movie a chance.
I enjoy Connery too, but Craig portrays the dark side of Flemming’s Bond, the drinker, womanizer, mostly heartless killer. All the other Bonds were either too slapstick or the scripts were too fantastical.
“with a black 007”
The “Shaft” title song come to mind.
There are lots of bad dudes in the ‘hoods that need to be dealt with.
