  • The problem is that most people just aren’t looking for a woke Jane Bond movie. Colonialism isn’t really the first thing on the minds of the average James Bond fan. There are probably other movies you could get a similar energy from (I know I haven’t seen many movies in this subgenre but I saw Ballerina and found it to be quite good, for example., but there’s always Atomic Blonde, The 355, Lucy, and Red Sparrow, if you’re looking for female action films.), so it’s a bit odd to want the James Bond films to be so different.

    You also have to consider that we’re now firmly planted in a post-woke era. Idris Elba clearly doesn’t want the role, but maybe 5 if not 10 years ago, it’d actually be more surprising than not for MGM to not go with a black actor like Damson Idris than today. But Disney has proven that viewers are kind of tired of race swaps, and virtue signaling is starting to turn viewers away from films now, rather than serving as provocative marketing.
