It makes sense in the story, but I hope it's not a permanent change.

Besides, if anything this movie will sort of prove who is true 007, unless they nerf Bond to be a useless weight for the new "brave, stunning and unique and strong and beautiful black woman agent", which I doubt they will.

On the other hand, who knows what they will do? Bond is no longer popular as he was back in the day, so producers might think that pandering to the crazies might be a profitable way to pull franchise out of the ass. The problem that franchise in the ass, not because of the lack of "diversity", but because of horrible writing and incompetent producers themselves.

Hollywoke strikes again. why not have this chick be 008. 007 is Bond's Moniker and shouldn't be passed down to other agents.

007 is a position. If James Bond died or left there would be another mi6 agent to replace him as 007.

This is an interesting move rather than the same ol Bond. A new female 007 agent is welcomed in my books. This series gonna be a fresh new take, I’m hyped.

Giving OO7 to another agent is not canon. They've had OO11, so there is no numerical limit.

In the novel You Only Live Twice, Bond was transferred into another branch and given the number 7777, suggesting there was no active agent 007 in that time; he is later reinstated as 007 in the novel The Man with the Golden Gun.

You were saying?

Also you want to discuss canon? The movies are their own canon and the novels are their own. Fact.

Another agency. He kept his number upon return. There have been OO female agents in several films, no reason to give someone 7 except for politics.

I’m putting money down that this girl is the real villain and Rami Malek is just a facade. There is no way they’re keeping her around as the next Bond.

Well, two things:
1) It's supposed to be the last Craig movie;
2)
Spoiler:
Blofield will return in this movie

Perhaps it is politic related in this movie? Might be interesting story twist.

That would require the people making these decisions to pull their heads out of their asses and write smarter.

I think it's interesting we're going to see the 007 code name be given to another agent in a movie that isn't the first Casino Royale starring OG Bond; David Niven.

It's be cool if she got her own standalone movie before they reboot James Bond.

The OO is literally a licence to kill. They don't even reuse fishing licence numbers..

At least it's not another race-bending recast of a traditionally red-headed character.

All those no names mean nothing, you shill. 007 name has the recognition and this is a good move for something new. Like it or not, it’s happening.

New story, new lead? Unexpected situation. What’s not to be happy?

Wait for the trailer then.

She had to be OO7 because James Bond is a terrible girl name and they need the title to clearly be part of the franchise. FACT.
