    Anyway, not sure why a woman fighting with Bond became a point of contention, here we have a way Villenueve could do it, he already did it a couple years ago in Blade Runner 2049:

    What you think about the movie itself?

    Oh yeah! Rewatched that film recently. It's a weirdly Bondian film in many ways. That's a great bit of it too.
    Yeah, after watching it, I wanted Villeneuve to direct a Bond movie. The scenes with the Robin Wright boss character feel so reminiscent of Bond and Judi Dench's M to me, lol. And Luv just gave me Xenia Onatopp henchwoman vibes.

    I haven't seen the movie, but there's a difference between science fiction, in a setting that can have aliens, robots, mutant, what have you, and the at least somewhat realistic, real world setting of a spy thriller. I'm not saying it can't be done, but there's a context to take into account. It would also depend of the actress cast. Some can be more convincing than others.
    I think Bond has to ideally be somewhere in the middle, it can't be a fully serious spy thriller like a Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but it also shouldn't be a comedy, and in that fine line it threads it thrives, I mean when you have characters in the past like Fiona Volpe, Rosa Klebb, Irma Bunt, May Day, Xenia Onatopp, its about time to bring that energy back in the next series of Bond movies IMO.

    I still mantain Gwendoline Christie should be considered to play a henchwoman, it didn't happen in the Craig era but hopefully she'll show up in the new movies. I think she would be brilliant as an Irma Bunt type.

    Onatopp was a very good henchwoman one of the best in the series.

    A bit of a left field suggestion: Noah Taylor. Australian actor, pretty much an unknown, but a veteran with from what I could see a few acting accolade. He played Locke in Game of Thrones, in which he was excellent. Small role in an ensemble cast, but with a memorable face. He's got the right age now, mature enough, but not geriatric.

    He's great, but I think they probably want someone younger than Daniel Craig (by more than a year)! :)

    For a Bond villain? I mean he's not geriatric.
