The same one that would allow a Secret Agent drive around in major foreign cities in a not so subtle Aston Martin with rockets under the hood.
Bond getting back into his job repeatedly isn't that much of a stretch by comparison, really.
I'm happy they're not doing something safe. I don't have any issue with a Double-Oh being a woman. Especially considering the likelihood of Bond reclaiming the 007 moniker back from said female agent by the film's end is almost a certainty - a plot progression which would, ironically enough, piss off the PC crowd if it were to turn out to be true.
And one thing I will say about the whole MeToo thing is that it doesn't really need to be addressed. But that doesn't mean ideas like the above should be off the table completely. They're not mutually exclusive. Articles will focus on it for clicks, especially when it comes to Bond.
But alas, without any confirmation, I'm just spitballing here.
My feelings exactly.
Please don't expect a scene thats underlining thread is #MeToo, because that won't be the case.
These writers don't want to inject this as a huge plot point of the film. If this whole situation with Phoebe Waller-Bridge (who is great by the way) is true, then she is there to flesh out the female characters, not shove feminism into your mouths until you swallow and it digests.
Exactly. And also important to remember, the Bond series has managed to address similar changes in societal norms with the M character already, and rather seamlessly too.
I think it legitimate
Looks like Eon are reading my posts. I wrote back in November 2015 that Bond should return to Jamaica at the opening of the film here:

Then I wrote in March 2018 that they should introduce a female 007 who should coax Bond out of retirement:

Probably time I called a lawyer.
I will put money down if it’s female agent
Please record the call! I'd get a good laugh out of that one.
Think I might bow out of these sorts of threads until the trailer now anyway. I read the SP leaks because I couldn't help myself and still really enjoyed the film, but in hindsight I do wish I'd kept more of it as a surprise. So I'll watch the trailers, but I don't think I'll be following the production side of things at all this time. Feel like I might know too much already.
If these developments are true, I'll be very happy. They are original and interesting. And it'll be cool to have a woman working on the Bond screenplay. For inclusion, but also to add a feminine perspective to the script.
There are PLENTY of ways to have a post #metoo 007: just look at Dalton era Bond (he still has romances but in a sensitive and vulnerable manner). See also: Vesper in Casino Royale?
And there are a DOZEN lady script doctors out there that have been honing their craft for years to help. Please let this be total bullshit. Please? For me? You have THE strongest lady producer in Hollywood, second only to Kathleen Kennedy (Barbara Broccoli).
You have a possible twist in Lea as Blofeld to put Bond in his place without emasculation. No need for this. PLus? It will DELAY things, FURTHER. Procrastination loses opportunity: trust me!
Rant dun..nanite ;) x
Although I kinda don't think it is true because she's been in the limelight recently because of Series 2 of both Fleabag and Killing Eve, although she's not writing this season of Killing Eve. Also, it may just be stemming from the rumours of Jodie Comer's involvement, which I also doubt is true.
They love the DB5 EON
She screams Bond
Regarding the Instagram: Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Move along.
I'm not upset it's coming back it's fitting because it's been used alot for Craig just next actor I would give it a rest for a while
Guess they realized that it was stupid.
The sun finally went all the way down.
To me it sounds more like a plot John Gardner might have come up with rather than Fleming. Which leads me to the realization I feel most of the post Dalton Bond films are more John Gardner in spirit rather than Fleming, with the exception of CR.
Didn't Die another day go to Jamaica or am I thinking of Cuba.
I'm a pretty big Gardner fan. I love most of his titles and many of his characters were interesting enough I'm surprised Eon hasn't used Gardner's work for the film series.
Thought she was going to be cast as a bond girl till I realized she is brought to write I hope this isn't true.
