Here's my Vote

Angelina Jolie has done the character multiple times under female names. It’s time for Jamie Bond

If it's played by a female, can't be named James. But, she could be James Bond's daughter. What could be a good name for a Bond's daughter? Maybe Elizabeth...

These movies haven’t been good in decades, couldn’t hurt. Lol

Jayme, Jayme Bond. How do you do Mr. Longcock? Nope does not work.

As long as it's not Scarlett Johansson I'm all in

I’m sure he’s just saying that because his wife told him to..😜

Don't have a problem with a t**t playing a spy, u kiss ass. But she should B 008 or 006 or anything besides Bond's specific designation. It's poisonous to the story and the legacy of the story to have a completely different character usurp his position for political correctness.

No, there was a female spy movie similar to the Bond series called Atomic Blonde and it bombed. I thought it was good but did terrible in the box office. I wouldn't mind seeing an expanded bond universe with some spin offs. Leave the original film series alone

Did he have a gun to his head?

Uhhh. Nah. We could just get a new character that is like James Bond. Maybe then we could end up with a new iconic female character to go into the hall of fame next to Buffy Summers, Sydney Bristow, Veronica Mars etc.

Or create a franchise like James Bond with a female lead...

Can I just say that James Bond seems to have A LOT of unprotected sex. So he could have a daughter or 12 that could step up an in somehow

Really! Does everything have to be Politically correct? How about a transgender, then you could have both.

No! The names Bond, James Bond, somethings don’t need to change.

Bond is FINISHED❗

Wow looking forward to see how that plays out haven't females already played a type of James bond like the move salt and lusy

So you basically dont know how to make your own original movies so hey, if you cant beat the classics... replace em!

Can we get lizzo this role!!?

then it ain't 007,.......

HERE 👏 FOR 👏 THIS 👏

Mmmh, will give it some thought.... But still don't think so

That's cute he's wrong I won't watch and now the weather PS not clicking.

Or Hollywood could work on creating original female characters instead of just handing off characters/franchises established by male leads i.e. MiB or Thor 🤷🏻‍♂️

I love Pierce (best Bond Man ever) & happy he is promoting Women in Power but I vote for Idris Elba as James Bond. As a Woman, we love our sexy, strong & sophisticated James Bond!

Justin Deaton says it’s time to shut the whole fuckin thing down for good

Sabrá que el personaje se llama James Bond?Es como poner a un hombre hacer de Pocahontas

Well how will the whole Martini drinking womaniser thing work.

How about a before James transitioned into being a man story. Some early bond back story... Or he transitions now? Dame Bond, has a gun in her heels... Kill a few birds with one stone here, just spitballing here... 🤷‍♂️

make a movie about James Bond-like female spy, I'm all for it , but don't call James Bond or anything like that. Let her be a new character. Maybe like a spin of from Bond movie or something

He is really going for those woke points.

Why do we always do this? If you want a major character to be played by a woman, bring up a new character. Rewriting a crowd favorite, especially when the character is a dude named James is kinda dumb and they’ll be hate from fans right off the bat.

2nd worst Bond ever.

NoThanks

helenmirren would make a fantastic bond! Shes a badass!

Whatever, Dirk Benedict is still the only real Starbuck. Love you Katie but it is what it is

Pierce, you are till this date one of my fav. Bonds. However, you are wrong. Hollywood doesn't need to fucking gender/race bend every established character just to show they're woke. They should instead create new & original characters, instead of tarnishing old and beloved.

Oh I thought Brosnan was already the first female Bond. My mistake.

I'm still hoping for Angelina Jolie as Jane Bond.

No way. A female Bond will ruin the franchise completely. Bad idea! 007

Nope

I love the mad incels in the replys

Says the worst James Bond ever. It's not your story to mess with. It's the creation of Ian Fleming.

why not do a Bond movie that creates a 00 that is a women for a spin off of the 007 universe?

Jane Bond

No, they can create their own feminine character, that would be like having a female Batman?

Maybe they’ll ask Scarlet Johansson. Apparently she can play anything, including a tree. Which is a good role for her actually since her acting is so wooden.

Or a gay man

more_milf This has your name ALL over it !

Then why not have a old bearded man play a Disney Princess and an old white woman play Black Panther too if a characters race and gender mean absolutely nothing

That'd be fucking stupid. James is a male name. She'd be Jane Bond or some other feminine name.

Way to be forward thinking Pierce... Gemma Bond!

And watch as the 007 franchise shoot itself repeatedly in the foot like the Steelers did last night against the Patriots.

Well, that's definitely the correct response if you want to keep working in Hollywood.

Read my short story 'Hunting The Sun' published in the 'Tales From The Future' collection and meet Gail Bond who takes over from James. In fact read all of my SF as well while it's still fiction.

No one. Ian Fleming didn't write his books about a female James Bond. Stop trying to change other people's intellectual property. It's disgusting!

No just create a new story with new characters with a female lead. It's not difficult.

Love you Remi.

Look no further,

No James Bond is an icon. Don't fix what isn't broke just to tick the equality and diversity box. Just create a female spy! A new character in her own right. Leave 007 alone please.

But she's not playing James Bond. She's taking the code name 007.

Ah fur feach sake !

Jamie Bond, Jane Bond, Jessica Bond

YEA, OW BOWT ELLYN DE-GENEROUZ? 😎😩

Or we could leave it just as the writer intended it instead of rewriting history ad infinitum

Ummm NO!

ellabalinska as James Bond. Just sayin... JamesBond

Pierce Brosnan is an idiot

He says this because he's a multi millionaire movie star living in an elite bubble who likes to keep up appearances in his new woke Hollywood circles. He doesn't care about the character or franchise. He just sees it as his female actor friends getting a gig.

🙄

What a load of bollocks, what next Mr Marple, Shirley Holmes & Dr Watson or maybe Hole instead of Shaft! Create new characters fcs!

Of course he does, he wants a worse Bond than him.

I presume you mean play the character role 007

How about Angelina Jolie?

Or rather than appropriate an existing brand, create a new one? Or can't hollywood think of new ideas?

I nominate Maggie Q!

But Pierce! You WERE the first woman Bond.

Funny he didn't think about this in 1998 When he was a grown ass man

I’m mixed on this. A female James Bond? I’d rather see a female 007. Do something new and exciting instead of reskinning an old character. Expand the Double-O world.

Love him but he was upset when he was no longer Bond..... so 🤫

Of course a woman could play James Bond, but she should still be called James, right? It would be great. M doesn’t bat an eyelid. Just like: Hi James take a seat, read this folder.

From the co-producer that produces James Bond who is btw a woman if you couldn’t tell by the name

then it ain't 007

Why?

But it a woman plays James Bond then the she can’t be called James?

No, it's not. No more than it's time for a boy to play Annie. Stop this gender nonsense.

😬

This is it guys. We're done.

When will a female director get to direct James Bond? The female Bond discussion is pointless. Create as icon a new female character with a host of interesting characters, villains (male and female) and support her franchise.

If an actress wants to be a 00 lead character, go for it. However, having her being 007 will have negative consequences of opinions before the movie even shows. Then again, if she is any other 00 number, will anyone really care about the film?

... or, ignore this idiocy and start making Modesty Blaise movies.

Bitter man.

Nope

Pierce is Irish 🤨

Totally illogical 🙄 Makes no sense whatsoever.

Damn right! And tired of reading ( most often) men saying otherwise. It’s a fictional character...

I'm ok with this, as long as the next Mary Poppins film is played by a man

Kind of makes no sense? ‘James’ Bond is a male. If you had a female, it wouldn’t be ‘James Bond’, it would be a different character.

Well he’s the least favourite Bond imo, so maybe he thinks a woman will push him up to to 2nd bottom. Method in his absolute madness!

As long as Pierce has had a nice little earner hey ! So Roberta Hood and her merry ladies ? Dorothy Whittington Lord Mayor of London Jane the Ripper Moby Dyke

No it’s not. I’m an avid reader. The books were about the man 007. I’m a woman and I think this is stupid

Crap

What utter garbage

James Bond is not The Doctor (Doctor Who) you can't just change the gender because Bond is a human it would be an entirely different character

Why not have a non specific gendered J Bond, it would solve everything!!!

It'll be too distracting if a female is JAMES Bond. Why not just create a new character?!?!

That will effectively kill the James Bond franchise.

Pierce is a complete joke of an actor, never had a good film and far from a James bond. The real James bond is Sean conerey and Roger Moore. Period! 🙌

Will she be called James?

Gilipollas.

James isn’t even a woman’s name...

He was never any good anyway - ridiculous

It wouldn’t work. James Bond by his nature is an example of white male British privilege. If you make the character female you lose Eton educated for a start

Oh get fucked

James Bond cannot be a woman because he is a man, but 007 can be a woman as it’s a job title

Instead of Bond girls in bikinis, there’ll be dudes in Speedos lounging by the pool! Has “blockbuster hit” splattered all over it!

Ooh, look who's wanting noticed. Jog on Brosnan you 🛎

No

Yaassssss gurl!!!!! 🙄 I actually kind of get the female Thor thing, I might want to see that, but...c'mon....I mean.....if you want to be modern...y'know....why haven't you had strong female roles to begin with, to make movies from Eh, hip Hollywood?

Exhilarating...exciting...everything he wasn't as Bond.

自分が思うに甘いマスクのピアーズ・ブロスナンは似合っていたと感じます✌️

Simpler and better idea. Introduce an original female character and see if audiences like her. Test her out in a couple of Bond movies, and if it goes well, give her a spin-off.

Bond isn't a shape shifter, his recasts rely on recast logic. Recast logic doesn't apply to changes as massive as gender swaps. If Bond suddenly woke up one day as a woman, don't you think that'd raise a few questions in universe?

He went from sexy to just absolutely woke beta soy boy.

He’s right

Then Ariel should be played by a fat man!

Or more likely he was asked and didn’t want to face a feminist backlash.

00 NO!

Stupidity. It's like they don't even know the character. How will a female Bond use sexuality as a weapon to coerce the bad guys to reform? And what would we call a woman who does these things? Gender roles aren't reversible/interchangeable are they? OOps.

No issue with a woman playing the lead in a film in the Bond universe but calling her James is stupid. Fleming chose 'James Bond' because he thought it was an unremarkable name and spies should be unremarkable, so they're not noticed. James isn't an unremarkable name for a woman.

NO!

I think it's quite unfair to gender swap one of the most iconic characters tbh. Instead just invest into female led franchises such as atomic blonde which was very well received. I'm all for gender equality but a female led bond film will shy away from the core of the film.

Lets be clear 007 can of course be a woman or any ethnicity (because 007 is a SECRET agent) but James Bond has to be a white British man. canon

Jamilla Bond?

The name is James Bond! Create your own original sexy badass female character. Stop trying to change the genders of iconic characters. I’m not trying to piss off women that’s like a death sentence now a days but I quit watching Doctor Who because they made the character female.

Worst Bond

She is not playing Bond. She is the new 007.

Her name will be Jamina Bonda.

What’re they gonna call her? Jane Bond? LOL 😝

why? create a good character for them rather than handing them over a character played by man for decades now. Aren't they supposed to be better girl power and all but they're happy with this. A character that men are done playing so now woman gets it all i can think of.

Hol up isn't that the guy in Mrs. Doubtfire

I believe you mean 'a female 007', sir. The number is assigned, the name isn't (though if it's a secret daughter or something, I'm willing to bend slightly)

And fuck the hollywood

I do agree. Maybe Halle berry will be a bad ass to play Jane bonds

Hmmm, Bond.... Janes, Bond. 🤔

Seriously tho?

Ok i want to point out a woman can't play james bond because it's a man... litterally a man. So don't pull a genderswap... HOWEVER. 007 is a title... there could be a female 007. Or hell use another 00 number. That would not be an issue.

Seriously?

Awful Pure Awful PierceBronson Did you see HustleMovie? a Female Version of DirtyRottenScoundrals (1988) Awful Or the Female version of Ghostbusters? Awful Let JamesBond be a Man If a Female wants to be a spy Try an original screenplay New characters are born daily

Yes. It was also absolutely necessary for a remake of Ghostbusters with women.

Here I come!

I'll pass

Alright, here’s female Bond. And she still scores with the ladies

Now I’m conflicted as to whether or not a female 007 would have to try hard to be seductive and misogynistic. 😂

Why can’t we just leave shit alone? He was written as a man. Make a new story.

Its going to happen 🙄

007 is a man, just create another character that’s a woman.

I think it's great that Brosnan supports women being the lead in this franchise, but I'd like to see more support for unique stories about women, created, produced and directed by women. We can create our own female spy characters. I'm perfectly okay with James Bond being a male.

Bond is like a comic book now. Any different interpretation will be fine as long as the core meaning remains.

It should be a child star. It could be all about Bonds formative years.

Jane Bond.
