MI6 Chief reveals that the real Q is a woman
It looks as though Q may be out of a job:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/26/mi6-head-real-life-q-woman/
I kinda like the idea of a female Q.
We've had some interesting takes on the Q character over the years. Desmond always played him as the overworked bureaucrat who had no time for Bond's callous way. John Cleese pretty much did the same with a little more buffoonery. Ben's take is a little more interesting as now we have a Q who has caught up with the times -a cocky Zuckerberg-esque computer whizz who has little regard for Bond's old school approach (though in Spectre, Q was a little subservient to Bond).
So who could play the female Q?
Keira would be great - though I suspect Ben will be playing the part for years to come. He's the new MVP of the series.

Beat me to it!
I forget exactly how Gardner played it—I'll have to reread his books some time soon—but weren't Bond's interactions with Q'ute played a bit similar to him with film Moneypenny?
Thank you. I have to agree! :D
Now,Icebreaker,Scorpious ,Nobody Lives Forever etc...they need to be made into Bond films..or at least the material used...it is still Fleming's Bond ,just added material by Gardener....
It's Brokenclaw (1990). Glad you're a fan. My username comes from Gardner.
Nice. Yes, there is a general John Gardner Bond thread on here. I was lucky enough to correspond by email with Mr Gardner in his later years and am still in touch with his son Simon.
From my Bondgirl wishlist:
Natacha Régnier http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0753696/
But even Felicity Jones can considered.
