According to other reports ...


    James Bond producers shot down Amazon's 'woke' female 007
    idea: 'F-king idiots'
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    ...

    Amazon executives have proposed a number of ideas to cash in
    on the Bond brand for its Prime Video service, including a
    spinoff featuring Miss Moneypenny, the secretary of MI6 spy
    chief M.

    There was even talk of casting a female to play the next 007,
    as well as more diverse options that would include gay or
    black leading men.

    Broccoli shot down the idea of a female Bond, though she's
    not opposed to having a gay or nonwhite actor star in the
    role, according to the Journal.

    She does insist that whoever fills his shoes is a Brit.

Wow! A "Miss Moneypenny" spinoff movie ... that would be "great". 
Typing, filing, making the tea, ... thrilling!!  ;-)
