Nice likeness, except I am a bit slimmer and better looking. The singlet and smoke are on point, though.

Yes. When you stop carefully removing the context it's used in. Really.
The "[shrug] I don't see it, you must be wrong and this place is an echo-chamber" routine is spectacularly ineffectual.
I hope the next instalment in the "I'm right, you're wrong" franchise has some better material.

I am getting some mixed signals here, so will she play 00 despite the producer literally saying that 00 will remain male? Or does that mean that she will be 008 or something?James Bond: Barbara Broccoli says character 'will remain male'

I think they mean the character of James Bond in particular will always be a male, rather than the assigned 00 agent code name which in this case would be 007.

Not necessarily as I think the main character will always be James Bond rather than 007, if you get what I mean.

It's probably true though. Non-conventional beauty types are fine, but the way people do triple backflips in certain contexts screams overcompensating. Did Thandie Newton get all of those adjectives? Because when someone's actually hot and the description goes that way, the accusation becomes the media objectifying them & focusing on their looks, diminishing them as an actor, etc.

She's 007 for part of the movie but then Bond comes back and he gets his 007 rank back probably before the middle of the film.

Even if the choice of language is a little strange, I agree with what she says.

I don't her codename being 007 makes her female James Bond. The codename might be the only thing she has in common with Bond. She is a new character.

A super agent with gadgets and the codename 007 in the James Bond series? How would that make her any different from James Bond? How is that a "new character"?

Dude... Bond is in the movie! They're not having Lashana be the face of the franchise going forward. Bond will CONTINUE to be male! She's not replacing him!

She is not the main character. Bond is. Bond is more than just the codename. It doesn't bother me if they give the codename to someone else for one movie because of story reasons. Bond is retired when the movie begins.

A story gimmick.
'oh look, she is 007 now and so tough.' halfway through they notice she cannot handle shit, and he returns. And she returns to her kitchen.
What's so hard about this to understand..

Wikipedia says that her character's name is Nomi, a '00' agent who entered active service after Bond's retirement. She is a side character so she is not replacing Bond.

Not really. James Bond is James "fucking" Bond. 007 is just an identifier.
Also, I still think all of this resolves itself in the film.
This is basically an opportunity for the franchise to show it's willing to be diverse in key roles without having to give up who James Bond is. I actually think it's a good idea and can't wait for the film. It reminds me of Zendaya MJ. I'm surprised people aren't more outraged by that because the whole thing comes off as a bait and switch. They didn't have the balls to make Mary Jane a black woman but went half-assed with it and called her Michelle Jones which abbreviates to MJ. They wanted to look progressive without taking any risks. It's amazing how many bought into it. What's worse is they tried to play off a minority playing an established character as a shocking surprise with the MJ drop at the end of the film. Even though she wasn't playing that character. It's a shame really, they should have just called her Mary Jane Watson from the start of the film instead of trying to turn it into some god damn twist.
I love the Spider-Man MCU MJ but she isn't Mary Jane Watson. She literally is a different character.

I wonder why 'strong female characters' always stand for 'a job a male is best suited for', aka strength and physic work.
If film and show makes want strong female characters, cant they just make a character that brings to the next level the things she excels at?
Now that I think of it...
Isnt this 'make a woman manly' thing a way of sexism?

She’s just prepping her for the next 007 movie, so the audience is not ‘too shocked’ when the time comes
Whatever it is, DO NOT support this franchise anymore, if it looks like woke, smells like woke, it is woke

It's weird how people go on about stronk wiminz, yet actresses like Rebecca Ferguson and Halle Berry don't have their own stronk wimin franchise.
Both of those kick arse IMO, especially Berry in John Wick 3.

From a side that yelps about cultural appropriation, demands history to be changed, harasses and cancels people if they express the 'wrong' opinion - it's very telling that they also approve of taking globally recognised cultural icons that have been established for decades and deliberately try to subvert and distort them.
When sane people say "Hang on" the yelpers REEE about "fragility".
This is all emotional smokescreening. Taking from others and then pissing on them afterwards because, they argue, "its about empowerment". Yelping about "fragility" after running campaigns and calling people Nazis because they criticized a hairstyle.
The only fragility here is the platform these dishonest, bitter, duplicitous yelpers stand on.

As I've said, I don't have a problem with casting someone who's of color or female or whatever in the 007 role, as long as the character of James Bond is kept as he is. Heck, if they'd have turned James Bond into a codename for the 007 agent, then most of the anything with the franchise would make sense, as each Bond is a bit different and often feel like different people, outside of the obvious differences in looks. At least Doctor Who has the reincarnation as part of the plot.

It's probably not wise for anyone to have a problem with the 00 side character as positioned in this trailer. People cried because they didn't have the right information.
