And if so, straight or lesbian? (or both?)

Actually, I'm not serious. I'm just sick of all these speculative Bond topics coming up for the sake of political correctness.

(And yes, I now realize using a woman as an exaggerated, hypothetical last resort Bond candidate to make my point is a bit sexist. Sorry.)

Christina Hendricks as Agent Double-Oh-Those are Big.

The next Bond has to be a transgender, black/Hispanic mix, Muslim, fat individual.

You forgot pregnant with a gay couple's baby.

NO.

there should be however a series that deals with the aftermath of Bond's trysts with women and how it affected one of them and turned her into a likeable but dangerous villain... the series could build it's own fanbase teasing a showdown between Bond & this Female villain until there's a movie with them both a la Batman Vs. Superman.

I think we've had a few chances before with Halle Berry's character from Die Another Day (Jinx) and Angelina Jolie for Salt. I mean those were franchises in the making that didn't pan out. I doubt we'll be getting a Jane Bond.
