I feel like they want to push the series in this direction with her as the lead, but they are probably reluctant to do so immediately with all the recent backlash that these kinds of movies get. I think they are going to test a slow progression by keeping Craig in this one, as well as introduce her as a potential permanent fill in for 007, and then based on the perception of the movie, either abandon the idea if negatively received, or go ahead with it if well received. Yeah I was actually thinking earlier today it's a clever compromise. You take a franchise that is starting to look a little bit...idk, socially outdated or whatever words you want to use, and do something like this to - but you don't completely change the series so you don't have the entire movie's buildup dominated by "omg Black woman Bond" or "omg Jane Bond" or anything like that and risking a potentially vicious backlash. Craig-as-James Bond is still going to be the main character of this, but 007 is literally just a codename and anybody can have it. Smart move. --- Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. ...
