I haven't been to the theaters in a decade or more, but I would show up to see Tig Notaro as Bond. Or maybe Leslie Jones?

    I was confused. Then I realised I was thinking of Leslie Nielsen.

    Guys. We should get Leslie Nielsen to play James Bond.

    If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't British, he could've been the first James Bond. He was only a couple years older than Sean Connery, and was a well-known dramatic actor at the time Dr. No came out.

    A little late now, but I could see it. When I was growing up, he had already transitioned to comedies and I didn't learn until much later in life he was a serious dramatic actor before that. Still haven't seen of his older/serious work, and TBH, I don't know if my brain will accept it lol.

    I was thinking Phoebe Waller-Bridge. she's already associated with the franchise as a writer, and works with Amazon as a producer, and a lot of her work involves problematic queer women. didn't see the new Indiana Jones she was in, so idk how she is as an action actor, but if she's half decent I think she could pull it off

    Tig Notaro was one of the only good parts of some of the modern Star Trek shows. But, she'd be an absolutely awful Bond. It might be fun for a 5 minute sketch comedy parody of Bond, but for a full 90 minute movie it would be terrible.

    Her defining trait as a comedian is her deadpan delivery. Bond has a dry sense of humour, but that's very different from a deadpan affect. He's also extremely charming and charismatic, which doesn't work well with a deadpan delivery.
