And? If they where to do s movie with a Women it would probably be a spin off.

That's the point. 007 can be a Women and has been a few times over the history of James Bond.

Broccoli literally just said they've never done a spin off and don't plan to start doing them.

The next movie will be a new Bond, male, with the 007 designation.

Well there is a British YouTuber whose name is "James Stephanie", and who wants to be referred to as "they/them". This person also seems to be a bit overweight and could therefore serve as a great role model for a woke James Stephanie Bond.

I'm very curious if they carry forward with the ancillary Craig actors like Fiennes, Moneypenny, Q, and I suppose Lynch.

NTTD suggests they may head back to a more traditional Q role which would be nice, though they REALLY need to stop with the "super hacker hacks something to get to the next bit of expository plot" stuff because it reduces Bond to fetch quest combat scenarios and all the "spycraft" is done by some wiener at a computer. Bond should be infiltrating, seducing, bluffing, and planting devices, not just wandering around waiting to be attacked just so he can find a thumb drive on the body of the last guy he kills that gives him his next lead after it gets cracked by Q.

Granted, there are plenty of classic Bond films where his 'cover' is about as paper thin as it gets but at least they tried. Casino Royale was the last good example of it.

Just bring Brosnan out of retirement. No cooler man.

Keep in mind we will probably wait at least another 5 years for James Bond to return.

Ralph Fiennes probably isn't coming back. He is Ralph Fiennes, he's a busy man with a lot of movies to make. Also he's old.

Ben Whishaw (Q) has already stated his contract was for 3 films and he has no intent of renewing, he's happy with his time as Q and has moved on.

Naomie Harris (Moneypenny) is unlikely to return, she was underutilized and she also has other fish to fry.

No one cares about Lynch and she was superfluous even in NTTD. Since we know James Bond will remain a man, she probably won't find any reason to show up again in 5 years.

What I'm saying is no one from the Craig era is likely to return, especially if it's a 5 year interregnum.

He's right, I agree with him, this would be a stupid move just to please a demographic, really.

Although the 007 title can be given to anyone...we know James Bond in these movies, stop putting vaginas on everything.

Agree with you. but really, 007 is not a mere title. 007 and james bond are the same thing, both represent one character. Some people forgets this. what I mean is, it wouldnt feel right having james bond as 008 neither a 007 agent with a different name.
