It's Time For A Woman To Play 007, Pierce Brosnan Says

I dont have a problem with Women in lead roles kicking ass. I enjoyed Red Sparrow, Atomic Blonde, Salt....

But I dont get why you would want to change Bond into a female lead role. Bond is a slick Spy who is irresistible to woman, and has cool cars, with a crap ton of money and gadgets... Basically what most males wish to be.

REEEEEEEEEEALLY tired of all this 'woke' political crap masquerading as genuinely good ideas

Why do we need a female bond?

I expect a movie featuring a female Bond to be about as successful as an all female Ghostbusters.

So are we gonna have a dude playing the next Tomb Raider then?

Hello, Charlie's Angels?

That's good and all but I'm more interest in 006 side story the most if we can get that done of course.

Coming from the guy who played the worst Bond

Plenty of other numbers to utilize. Just another chip away at male bashing and emasculating men.

Create a spin off starring a woman as 009 or whatever, sure. But don't change James Bond to Jane Bond. That's daft.

Sure, take the archetypal male power fantasy of being dangerous, wealthy, suave and sexually irresistible and make it about a woman. I'm sure it will appeal to the self same demographic that has been soaking that crap up for the last 50 years, it will do well and the tried and true sexism and "my soggy knees" card won't be pulled if it doesn't.

Yes, lets literally change EVERY character that is a straight, white man into a woman and/or POC. SOOO progressive!

James Bond is a white man. Period. But you can always make another female 00 agent with a different name. Let's see how this will go without Bond's name...

I was wondering what actor was going to play white Shaft. Now I'm wondering which actress.

welp. Women in Black and Ghosbusters did tremendous job at breaking glass celling, so keep them going xD

Ugh

Make a new IP, there's a lot of female lead roles in movies/shows that I wouldn't want being replaced with a male.

What do you expect, if he said no then the whole press would shit on him and call him all kinds of words.

I guess he hasn't heard of the new Black Widow movie coming out in 2020.

I'm all for a lead female spy flick, but just make a new IP.

Also, even though Goldeneye is my favorite of the Brosnan era, Tomorrow Never Dies is underrated as hell! My only real complaint is the into theme from Sheryl Crow. The credits theme, "Surrender" by k.d. lang is so much better and deserved to be playing during the opening credits.

Yeah, it makes sense. Bond isnt allowed to bang girls like he used to. The modern day equivilent would be women telling guys to "@#$% off" when they call them pretty.

I call dibs on being the first Bond Guy if they do it!

I prefer GameSpot over ign, it's one of the best journalistic things you can count on.

Stunning and brave

They already DID, Pierce.

So what "GUYS' are you talking about? trolls on twitter? theres no "guys" stopping or even caring to stop the process. your giving a voice to the weak just so you can have a Pat yourself on the back moment.

so annoying this isn't how equality works.

Im not sure a promiscuous alcoholic women killing tons of people in a suit would have the same vibe

I wonder if he would say the same if he were the actual James Bond, also, he is a sexist in disguise, he should promote writers to write a deep, multilayered, female spy characters, not to hijack the reputation of a character created decades ago, and well established as white and male.

I’m sick of this “equality for everything” nonsense. You know why it hasn’t been played by a woman yet? IT’S A MALE ROLE.

Men and women are different. How about we celebrate the differences, rather than try to combine them into something that diminishes both sides.

Sure, why not. I’d be interested in that myself.

I like to see Melissa McCarthy as the next 007 then, it should keep them satisfied as she ticks all the boxes.
