David Bowie was all about gender fluidity so of all the men to play, it's wholly appropriate

David Bowie wasn't a man. He was a mystical force of nature from outer space.

Well, women have typically played Peter Pan for forever, so this is nothing new.

A woman already played bowie in America gods. No big deal. This is fake news.

Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?

I'm assuming this is about Cara Delevigne wanting to be James Bond?

That's not happening. I wouldn't even care, but it's not happening.

Ugh. She shouldn't be in anything after suicide squad. Most of that cast has to do a lot of hard work to even be considered an 'actor' again imho.
Look what happened when Halle Berry tried that crap. At lease Michelle Yeoh did a reasonable job but she was already a badass, you can't do a role like that having just been eye candy up to that point-just look at Gal Gadot, it's not believable.

But why though? Is it because these characters are icons and they want to create a sense of "gender equality"? If so, I can't help but feel that their values are misguided.....

Why not create an icon that's female; an original new character instead of transforming an already existing character to be female. I wouldn't want Wonder Woman to be Wonder Man later on.

Because they like the character and want to take a shot at it. It's not really that hard to understand, especially when the character's gender isn't particularly important.

The thing is, Wonder Woman is a character that was invented just for the sake of having a female superhero. That's a character where gender does actually matter. It's a pretty dumb idea for a character, in that it's just flagrant tokenism/sex appeal, but it is what it is, and now the character's established as that. It's a different story with a character whose gender doesn't matter.

James Bond is such a non character he could be played by a potted plant tentacle fucking super models and I'd be fine.
