You know that in the bond movies there have been a number of women spies and even 'shock horror' black women.

The current Wonder Woman actor (I forget her name) does already look a bit..."off"... Who knows...
Riiiiiiight. Sounds kinda incel-ish.
Not attractive at all.
I remember when I thought girls had cooties too. It’ll pass.

From what I understand one of the main points of the movie is the new Bond becoming a black woman, a passing of the torch. My hope is that Bond 26 will become the rumored reboot directed by someone else entirely and this travesty will not come to pass.
007 is the code name.
Bond is the character name.
She is not playing Bond.
Bond is not a moniker. Bond is a person. They can be 007, they can not be Bond. Is it not possible for a black woman to create her own franchise? Why can't they? Are they inferior?

Go back and read my comment.

But they are using Bond to push a black woman 007. Hence my comment of it makes sense as far as the story goes, but I do not like it. Part of script according to insiders is a passing of the torch and the black woman becoming the next "Bond" (as in his replacement).
Like I said from the beginning, it may not contradict the story, but I am completely against the intentional progressive view they are going for. I watch basically every spy movie, I don't complain about leading female roles when that is what the franchise is.

The idea that they put a woman in that role is a test to see how audiences receive the idea of a potential woman as Bond though just by letting her be 007 if not Bond.

100% speculation on your part.

I got everything. You are the one who is somehow unable to comprehend my post. Please show me where I stated she is going to be a character called Bond, I will wait.

The Docto is a alien time traveller who reincarnates in different bodies.
Anyone getting hung up on what gender they appear as is seriously missing the point.
