Gillian Anderson Responds to Push for Her as the Next 'Bond. Jane Bond'
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!) #NextBondpic.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?
