Summary
Ayo Edebiri said she received “insane death threats” after Elon Musk shared a false report claiming she would replace Johnny Depp in a Pirates of the Caribbean reboot.
The rumor, posted by a right-wing account with no industry ties, was never confirmed by credible sources. Musk, who commented “Disney sucks,” amplified the hoax.
Edebiri later called Musk an idiot and a fascist for promoting fascist right-wing rhetoric.
Meanwhile, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed a reboot is in development but did not confirm Depp’s involvement.
I also think in the next Bond movie James should lose his mind and have to be dealt with by agent 009, Janice Stock 😆
“What? We didn’t change James Bond!”
Honestly, in my mind the codenumber 007 is reserved for the most elite agents and the moniker “James Bond” is a transferable identity given to the best of the 007s.
And no corporation will ever dissuade me
This head canon is what makes me see the Mission: Impossible movies as the American version of James Bond.
I think Dead Reckoning Part 2 may be the last time Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt, and if we see any more M:I movies after, I think it’ll be a different actor but the same name.
Similar to this JB theory.
At the same time, it was inspired by a TV series where the main character and actor changed…
I’m all for that too. I feel like secret agents who’s lives are dedicated to the job are the perfect excuse to have a roster of actors play the same “character”
Goldeneye already had Alex Trevlyn(sp?) as 006, so there are at least 9 double-O agents. We don’t really need to do the “James Bond is a code name like Captain America” thing.
Maybe there are (at least) 9 of these code-named agents who are assigned an identity for the duration of their employment.
Maybe 🤷♂️
It just seems convoluted when we have no evidence of that, but we do have evidence of other 00 agents who seemingly use their own names.
Also, if Bond is already a code name, why use other identities? We’ve seen him do that.
I mean, Captain America doesn’t own the concept of codenames.
We don’t “need” to do anything in a fictional world about super spies but I think it’d make the world more interesting, and quite neatly explains why the same man has been at various levels of his career, physical fitness, skill, knowledge, and face through the decades.
I have never heard of an actual logical reason that it shouldn’t canon, and you haven’t provided one either
I see your point, and I don’t have a logical reason for not wanting it that way. Him never aging is just part of the goofiness of James Bond that seems to have been forgotten in the recent movies.
