Some women have all of that, including an eye for the ladies. I think they should look for a male actor, but there is a part of me wanting Ruth Negga or Thandie Newton.
You are right, change is not always evolution. Evolution is the adaptation to your environment over time, the current environment Bond is in has greater equality, and every Bond film has been set in the time it was made.
Also, a remake of any film can be better or worse than the original, that...
Not that there should be a change on "race", just no reason there should not be. I think the character should remain male, but it would not bother me so much if someone decided to make the Bond character a female, so long as she was still womanising, kick arse, and stylish.
Last time around...
You know, I think you will find that today, they let Black people join the Navy too. They even allow some at Eton!
Truly, white people are never going to be accepted in US 1970's black ghettos. But Bond films are not set in the past, even if the character was originally from a different time...
