James Bond female movie happening soon? Netflix's Wednesday star Jenna Ortega voices opinion

Netflix's Wednesday star Jenna Ortega has opposed the idea of having female James Bond. Ortega has said that instead of female-centric spin off of James Bond movies, she wants to watch women-oriented original film.

The concept of a female James Bond has been a subject of intrigue and speculation long before Ian Fleming's iconic spy ever graced the silver screen.

While the original literary and cinematic portrayals have remained firmly rooted in the image of a suave, male secret agent, the possibility of reimagining 007 as a woman offers an opportunity to explore fresh narratives and redefine a cultural icon for new generations.

In Nicholas Shakespeare’s forthcoming biography of Ian Fleming, a fascinating revelation emerges: producer Gregory Ratoff once envisioned casting a woman as the iconic spy. This bold idea surfaced following the mixed receptions of the 1965 film Thunderball and the 1967 adaptation of Casino Royale.

Disappointed by the lukewarm reviews, Ratoff considered a radical departure from tradition, exploring the potential of a female 007 to rejuvenate the franchise and offer a fresh, innovative take on Fleming's legendary character.

Gregory Ratoff entertained the idea of breaking new ground by casting Oscar-winning actress Susan Hayward as James Bond, envisioning a daring reinterpretation of the iconic role. However, his plans took a different turn after he met Sean Connery, whose undeniable charisma and screen presence convinced Ratoff to maintain the traditional portrayal of Bond. Connery's embodiment of the suave, rugged spy ultimately solidified his status as the definitive 007, anchoring the character in the popular imagination from 1962 to 1983.
