JAMES BOND: Lashana Lynch (MCU's MariaRambeau) to be next 007??? Whattya think?

[Jokerz79]

This looks like a clear test run, If Lynch knocks it out of the park with part the studio has options. With Craig being done with the role they can spin off to something new while staying in the IP. As great as James Bond is their limit on what you can do his traits are locked in he is a reckless, smooth womanizer/ladies man who likes his drink a specific way. You can't change that and you don't want to change that so you have change something else to keep it new. They now have a chance to make the franchise two things James Bond who is the iconic spy himself and Agent 007 which has come mean top agent for MI6.

You guys are really underestimating Hollywood if you think this is one off move.

Except Bond is one of the unique properties where one person calls the shots and BB will not veer to far off from the golden goose. This is a test run but more likely to see if they can expand the 007 franchise to other characters while retaining a traditional version of Bond to not alienate the fan base.
