    007 is not part of Bond's identity. It's mostly part of the marketing.
    To the audience it is. I for my part would lose a lot of fun if it was just James Bond without the number 007. It´s brilliant iconography.

    Same here

    He gave up being 007 four years ago; did you think people would go around calling him 007 once he's retired? :D

    Look at the Red Bull F1 cars this weekend: they had the 007 logo all over them. The '007 iconography' isn't going anywhere. I'm not sure what you guys are worried about.

    For now.

    Did you not see him wearing suits, driving Aston Martins and living in Jamaica carrying a speargun? :)
    Seems pretty bang-on 'Bond' to me!

    Very funny

    Funny? It's true! Did you not see any of those things and think it seemed like Bond?

    Does the knowledge he's got a little secret identity card in his wallet that says '007' on it make those scenes better somehow? He doesn't become someone else just because he's not wearing secret 007 identity ring or whatever :D

    Does he get it back? How are people supposed to identify James Bond from the public?

    Well he's a secret agent: you're not supposed to identify him!

    And I'm willing to bet that yes, of course he gets it back. Because ultimately he's James Bond 007, yes. But it's like the examples of Batman or whatever that other folk gave- Alfred occasionally dresses in the outfit and is Batman briefly, but it's always Bruce Wayne in the end. And even when it's not (as in Dark Knight Rises), guess what- the series gets rebooted and Bruce is Batman again.
    How does he get the 007 number back? Well either she dies, gives it up, or she's a baddie and dies! There's just nothing to worry about here.

    I don't understand how anyone could be watching a brilliant action scene, or tense showdown with a villain or whatever and be unable to enjoy it because of the worry in the back of their head that he's not 007 at that moment.
    I mean look at this:

    Did you hate these scenes? Because you realise you're not looking at 007 there..?
    He's just plain old James Bond. Double-O zero.

    @mtm but no one took his number either they were neutral about it. Oh and he wasn't James Bond in Diamonds he was "Peter Franks".

    So when was the last time he didn't treat a woman properly? What does he have to do, where does he need to change, in order for him to cater to the SJW/MeToo/feminist crowd?

    I don't understand why it would frustrate some if Bond isn't 007 by the end of Bond 25. I mean from what we now know, he wasn't 007 at the end of SPECTRE because he'd left active service. That's from the official B25 plot outline, so there isn't any room for debate (as was the case directly after watching SP where it was a questionable situation). Of course, the new 007 wouldn't have been appointed by the end of SP so there was technically no 007 at all.

    So back to my original point: why is it ok for no one, including Bond himself, to be 007 by the end of the film, but having the position taken by a successor is all of a sudden terrible?

    There's always some reason why it's different and worse this time. I remember talking to people getting angry about Casino Royale 'breaking the formula' by daring to cast a blond Bond back in 2006. I asked them to imagine a Bond film with no Q, no MI6 scenes, no tuxedo, no casino, no Martinis shaken not stirred, no Bond in the pre title sequence, no sports cars, supernatural villains, fictional countries, and Bond being played by a fair-haired man. That would destroy the formula they said, it would be awful. When I pointed out that I was describing Live And Let Die, 'that is different', they said. :D

    People, this thread is becoming unhinged. Can you please stop the drama? It's one thing to speculate; it's another thing entirely to get worked up over what might be seen but hasn't been confirmed yet... You're like... boys with toys! Take a stress pill, some of you! ;-) Thanks.

    You see? 'That is different'! :D That's all the explanation you have. That was exactly my point with the LALD story: I feel like it went over your head slightly.

    In twenty years time it'll be just as part of the James Bond legacy as those films where he went into outer space and dressed up as a monkey. Just as looking back on Casino Royale now it's hard to see what all the 'blond Bond' fuss was about, people will think that folks complaining about someone else having the 007 number for half an hour were equally ridiculous.

    Take a closer look at the all the social media majority of them are already boycotting or disgusted by this idea
    How Many of them do you think are older or younger fans.

    Most of them are utter idiots who think Lynch and Craig are both going to be playing James Bond in the same bloody film. If they can't read, they're no great loss.

    Though, granted, one thing it does show is how linked the iconography of the 007 logo is with the character with casual audiences. I do understand and respect this, and I find the assumption that if you don't like the idea then you're a racist to be utterly braindead and devoid of any perspective whatsoever. However, the repeated baiting of other members such as @007Blofeld, aided by the ever charming, utterly nonsensical input of @Mendes4Lyfe and co. is really not helping and just goes to show how overblown this thread can become. Take a day off, lads. You're not the only Bond fans around, yet you speak as if you're the majority. This era has been a massive failure for you it seems, yet you're still no more a Bond fan than anyone who helped Skyfall cross the $1Billion mark.

    I'm not buying this idea that the film is going to flop because it's pushing an SJW agenda. Your examples, repeated a few pages back, are pretty weak.

    Ghostbusters may have been doomed to fail from the getgo. Sure. But it may also have failed because it was a rubbish movie, combined with the fact that most people just don't give a shit about Ghostbusters anymore. The same will likely apply for Terminator: Dark Fate, a film which very well may end up being good, but is part of a series that has clearly outstayed its welcome with casual audiences. T3, Salvation and Genisys were all sizeable box-office disappointments, and they didn't have this so-called SJW agenda. Perhaps people just don't give a shit about Terminator anymore, regardless of "motive".

    The same cannot be said of Bond, whose last two films have an almost $2billion total gross combined. People are here for Dan's Bond, big time. Now, I agreed a few pages back that this Nomi craic is a bit gimmicky to me, however it is a one-film deal and makes logical sense in the context, allows Dan's Bond to do something different and give a fresh perspective on the action. It could be a cool gimmick. It's also not the core focus of the film, clearly. Just two days ago we were discussing Blofeld's return, and as plenty of other members have posted above and to the left, there are dozens upon dozens of other very Bondian staples in the film already, too.

    Do you really think the film is going to flop because of this tiny thread of the story? That because Bond is retired, not 007 anymore but will likely be 007 again by film's end that people will completely reject it? That it somehow won't recoup its costs? Even the worst Bond films have done that, and they had a lot of stuff fundamentally wrong with them. If you really do believe that, there seems to be a lot of growing up needed on your part. Eon don't need to do any damage control, unless they're feeling generous and want to pay for nightschool lessons for those Facebook folk who comment on articles before they read them. They just need to continue onwards, finish the film, get the trailer out and sit back and watch people hype up Dan's last film. They could very well make a balls of this little subplot, and I'll be the first to call them out if they do, but for the moment I'm happy to let them do their thing - because ultimately the 007 iconography isn't going anywhere, and Bond 26 will likely be more your speed.

    I do hope we can move on from this bloody topic and on to actual important story details and filming-related news. Let the people who are actually still happy about the film remain so.

    So when was the last time he didn't treat a woman properly? What does he have to do, where does he need to change, in order for him to cater to the SJW/MeToo/feminist crowd?

    Creepily appearing in Severine's shower? Leaving Solange to be killed? Using Lucia?
    He uses women; it's kind of his character. We're not supposed to like him for doing it, but he's a kind of anti-hero at times. Remember when he said "a woman?" in Moonraker, expressing surprise at a woman being a scientist? That was a joke! :)

    So the Bond franchise needs to practise what it preaches and change with the times. ONCE AGAIN if a 00 agent quits in a modern-day world, specifically 2019/2020, the new replacement has an equal chance of being a man or a woman, and if when writing the script and considering changing the franchise, it makes sense that the new 007 would be a woman then bloody well do it and create some buzz and interesting character motivations and dynamics.

    If they wanna get people to watch, they can't keep doing the same stuff. Spectre was 2 hours of homage, so why not make the follow-up as original as possible. [/quote]

    So MI6 agents are currently 50% female? Is that true with FBI field agents or the CIA? Sure, the population is roughly 50% female and male but is this true with law enforcement or espionage departments?

    You see what I mean? EON is doing this ONLY to appeal to the SJW crowd. It has nothing to do with serving the story of Bond 25 or being good for the franchise. Well, maybe they think it will be good because they will avoid claims of Bond being sexist or racist. They have bent the knee to the establishment, pure and simple. It makes me sad.

Just two days ago we were discussing Blofeld's return, and as plenty of other members have posted above and to the left, there are dozens upon dozens of other very Bondian staples in the film already, too.

    Do you really think the film is going to flop because of this tiny thread of the story? That because Bond is retired, not 007 anymore but will likely be 007 again by film's end that people will completely reject it? That it somehow won't recoup it's costs? Even the worst Bond films have done that, and they had a lot of stuff fundamentally wrong with them. If you really do believe that, there seems to be a lot of growing up needed on your part. Eon don't need to do any damage control, unless they're feeling generous and want to pay for nightschool lessons for those Facebook folk who comment on articles before they read them. They just need to continue onwards, finish the film, get the trailer out and sit back and watch people hype up Dan's last film. They could very well make a balls of this little subplot, and I'll be the first to call them out if they do, but for the moment I'm happy to let them do their thing - because ultimately the 007 iconography isn't going anywhere, and Bond 26 will likely be more your speed.

    I do hope we can move on from this bloody topic and on to actual important story details and filming-related news.

    In more or less 2 weeks we could have a teaser trailer and a title.

    Tempus fugit.

    A poster would be very nice right now.

    @CraigMooreOHMSS I wanted to be done a while ago but it keeps going on because people keep commenting. PS I'm not racist either I just don't care for idea.

    Wow….200 posts in one night since I last checked.

    I can’t see the problem here personally. The ‘007’ trademark has less to do with the character and more to do with marketing.

    However, it’s a savvy way to drive up interest in the film. ‘James Bond’ was trending worldwide yesterday all day! That’s great news.

    Also, ‘Lashana Lynch’ was the 5th most Googled thing in the world yesterday.

    Also, Lashana’s Instagram has been on fire. She’s gained around 4k new followers and had 100s of negative comments from trolls on her last photo. I can’t see the benefit of attacking her personally. Not cool.

    The hype surrounding this film on social media is alive. I even found this cool bit of fan art this morning from an excited new fan:

    People are excited by this development and so am I. To label this ‘anti-male’ is a sentiment borne from insecurity. I don’t look to films for empowerment of my male ego. I’m content enough. If a black female 007 is going to empower a young minority woman, then I’m happy for those people. Anyone looking for anything negative here is reaching.

    Can we create another thread for people who want to speak about pluses and minuses of female 007? It's thread about filming not screenplay ideas for Bond 25.

    That sounds like a good idea.

    Ian Fleming would be rolling over in his grave if the role of Bond is given to a woman. I have nothing against woman of course, but James Bond shouldn't be female. Sorry. I hope all this abt her being the next 007 is a load of BS. I cannot imagine Wilson and Broccoli giving the role to a woman. Absolute nonsense.

    Typical feminism being shoved down our throats.

    Sorry, but news about Lashana are not about playing Bond by her. It's about playing role of OO7 AGENT. Read news carefully.

    He isn't: Daniel Craig is playing him.

    I'm curious about how they're going to handle the marketing. A "new 007" must be quite the challenge and quite an exciting job for the marketing people. Can't wait to see what they'll come up with.

    So does this statement mean young black women are insecure? How does "representation" help in this regard? Shouldn't their parents and their own personal accomplishments assist in developing their self-esteem?

    I think they will totally omit this thing in marketing. I think they want to be "new 007" a surprise thing for audience. Also its very risky marketing step as it can be more harm, than benefit for film
