Nothing against this actress, but No, just no. I am sick of wokeness making it into TV and movies. It ruins the storylines. I cancelled Netflix over this crap. Why not cast Idris Elba if you want "diversity" in the role? I thoroughly enjoyed his work as Luther and think he would make a good bond - the modern Shawn Connery.
Actually, most of the Arab terrorists in the movies are generally faceless and nameless. Which probably opens up another front for discussion...
And I just knew Hans from Die Hard would be there!
If you say so......personally, I never saw the flick. I just ran the question through my memory of non Arabs as terrorists and came up with that short list. Certainly others such as Blofeld, Largo, and Blofeld would classify as well as well as those in Juggernaut (1974); I just didn't have the time.
A and B on that. A: Since I have been in the anti terrorism field, I know otherwise to what Hollywood would put out, if it is as you say it is. B: I find that such attitudes are common with people not in the know, such as those who believe Entebbe and Munich were entirely done by Muslims.

Wokeness is also working its way into comics, table top gaming, sports and even video games

People are getting sick and tired of this crap...
I saw a bit of the recent Tomb Raider. You have the tiny actress wrestling this strong giant guy and strangling him to death. Give me a break. At least when Angelina Jolie played it, she was played like a superhero with miraculous speed and acrobatic abilities. It didn't look stupid.
Certainly I don't have issues with female or black actresses, but why do they have to keep doing these annoying things where they mess around with the original source material? I have zero desire to see a female actress as James Bond 007.
I’ve always enjoyed James Bond movies, but to be honest, I’ll probably pass on this version, both at the theaters and blu-ray... That’s if theaters will ever reopen.
I’m tired of having two scoops of political correctness thrown at me, which is a turn off.
Being a person of color, I have no issues with a Black 007 and honestly, I was hoping that Idrissa Akuna Elba would get the role of the new 007 since his name was being floated around back in early 2019. IMHO, Elba would have been great in that role and at the same time, moving that franchise forward, in a more respectable manner to the true concept of the “James Bond” character.
Granted that the James Bond movie franchise is huge and in a totally different league, but recently, several “female” remakes of lesser franchises have severely sucked... Like the female remakes of Ghostbusters and Oceans Eight.
Personally, I think that “political correctness” is going to damage Hollywood for the next few years if they don’t wake up to realize that people watch movies for entertainment, not political indoctrination.
I got very tired of the Bond movie over the last several years because it is just constant things blowing up and people shooting at each other. I still watch the Connery Bond movies. Much better.
