Never mind that Daniel Craig is not actually done as James Bond, not yet anyway. Fans are having too much fun promoting their favorite replacements at the hashtag #NextBond -- from Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, and Michael Fassbender to Emily Blunt, Hayley Atwell, and Gillian Anderson.
Someone even created an awesome Bond poster for the "X-Files" star, and Gillian retweeted it with a nod to the fandom:
It's Bond. Jane Bond.
Thanks for all the votes! (And sorry, don't know who made poster but I love it!) #NextBond pic.twitter.com/f8GC4ZuFgL— Gillian Anderson (@GillianA) May 21, 2016
She seems to just be joking around, but if you check out the replies, a lot of people want to believe are very supportive of the Jane Bond idea. (Maybe David Duchovny could play the new Bond girl.)
But that's Gillian's fans -- hardcore 007 fans probably feel differently, considering there was outcry about casting a "blond Bond" when Daniel Craig was first announced. Ian Fleming described a certain look for his James Bond, and not everyone is thrilled about deviating from it. But heck, from here, everyone after Sean Connery was just playing dress-up, so we're not precious about who's next.
What do you think -- is this all just silliness to you, or do you think the producers should seriously consider thinking outside the Bond box?
