Former 'Bond Girl' trashes idea of female James Bond: 'Like Mary Poppins being played by a man'

British actress Gemma Arterton argues that a gender-swapped James Bond would be absurd, questioning the idea by comparing it to a male Mary Poppins.

Gemma Arterton emphasizes the importance of respecting the legacy of characters like James Bond, saying, "Sometimes you just have to respect the tradition."

Daniel Craig suggests that instead of gender-swapping James Bond, the industry should create similarly engaging roles designed for female leads.

Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has indicated that while the character can be of any race, he must remain male, advocating for new female characters instead.
