With the woke invasion of Hollywood well underway, it appears that not even the classics are safe.
While at the Venice Film Festival to promote their film Queer, director Luca Guadagnino and actor Daniel Craig were asked about the possibility of a gay James Bond. While the pair neither confirmed nor denied the possibility, the response that was given said everything.

“Guys, let’s be adults in the room for a second,” Guadagnino said as Craig rolled his eyes. “There is no way around the fact that nobody would ever know what James Bond desires, period. The important thing is that he does his missions properly.”
While Craig did not respond to the question himself, he did applaud the director for his answer, which may indicate a level of agreement with the sentiment. It’s also worth noting that the actor has previously broached the topic of James Bond reboots before, even insisting that it would not be a bad idea to have a female lead.
X users weighed in on the topic:
Why do they even have to ask.
Go ahead and make it. But don’t be mad when it completely flops and you lose your arse.

If people want a gay James Bond, they should just make a new character who is gay.

The question is why would a person ask this?
It goes against the actual history of the character, over the decades.

If the intersectional communities need to appropriate every IP that exists, does that mean that they just lack the creativity to make something new that people would want to watch

Why can’t they invent their own characters? Why do they have change the existing character?
