I think people are cautiously optimistic because:
From the start they abandoned the black chick even w/ Idris - and then abandoned that (reasons debated)
So that indicates they “know’ where the Craig era ended was NOT where “the audience” wants.
It’s been postponed and delayed enough that it should be fully made “now” in a time where DEI ESG is NOT /completely/ en vague
So, there is hope that we will get a more “classic” bond, in the sense of it being /serious/ but fun, sexy woman for bond to “gain vital info” from and nude shadow women intro music video.
Also, finished A View to a kill - I think that intro music was one that I heard not knowing it was a bond intro (go 80s!) - and holy BARF moneypenny in that one WOOF…like the most “British” woman they could find.
