You know this is an Onion article because the real frontrunner for the role of James Bond is going to be, like every other role, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.
Maybe they just ain’t your thing but Casino Royale is really fucking good
Is Margot Robbie in it?
No but it has Eva green…
So was From Russia With Love. You can skip the rest, though.
The people have spoken, so give the people what they want.
You know at first I thought this account was a joke, but it's been months and it's still going on. Honestly I'm convinced
it's really her !
See, I was gonna say Chris Pratt. He seems to be everywhere recently...
It's-a me, James Bond.
It's-a Bond. James-a Bond.
Seriously though, there's a potentially great reboot opportunity there..
It would have to be very intelligently written to avoid the "reboot with women protagonist" clichés/pitfalls, the fact that 007 is a woman would have to strike just the right tone.. misogyny would probably need to be faced with a good dose of "ok boomer" smirking, it would absolutely have to pass the Bechdel test..
But yea, that would be the first James Bond I'd go see in 2 decades, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.
Margopratt Reynolds.
Lose the Pratt and I’m in
And, if the villain were played by esteemed character actress Margot Martindale...
It'll never happen, because they'd just have to pack up the Academy of Motion Pictures and go home, because it'd be all downhill after that film.
