Bond is a straight white guy until someone writes a story where he joins Twitter, dyes his hair blue, and gets fake knockers.
Radical Feminist and SJW's incessant cultural Marxism could create havoc on internet infastructure.

No, because Bond doesn’t have a nailed on character description from a book like Peter Pan does.

Yeah it has years of films.
I'll ask you the same question I asked earlier: why do you think skin colour is a bigger difference than the differences between Connery, Moore, Brosnan, etc.?

Because a white man doesn't turn into a black man, ever.
Actors change all the time, especially for a franchise as long running as this. Usually they choose someone similar so it's less jarring.
Yea try and and see how many (real) women complain they are worried about getting perved on.
They can get perved on now by lesbians and bisexuals.
I'd assume that in a purpose built unisex changing room you'd probably have individual cubicles etc.. and you'd not have communal showers.
It doesn't work. I worked for a small company which had a "unisex" bathroom, just one room for one person at a time. The women still complained that they had to share with the guys...
did you ask if they'd just assumed people's genders?
It wasn't fashionable to be offended back then, or make up genders beyond the two which exist. So no
People don't change body size, faces, etc. either. That doesn't make any sense. Why is skin colour such a big deal to change? It's not altering anything more important than the other differences between actors.
Hollywood is probably in many ways far more conservative than many other industries, and very risk averse.
You can usually bet if they've decided to do X rather than Y (which is what they've done before), they'll have a very good business reason.
It took the success of a Comic book movie about a second or third tier group of "heroes" involving a Raccoon and a Tree before they tried to make one about a First Tier Female character
Hollywood tends to either market research the heck out of what's expected to do well, or do a variety of things knowing that out of every 10 films they do, on average 3 might lose a lot of money, 2 might lose some money, 3 might make a bit of money, and 2 might make a truck load of dough (if they're lucky), at least in the short term - and the reason they make such a range is because they know that even with their market research they'll get surprise hits and surprise flops
Nah, we all know Bond is always a Tall, short, thin, well bult, average, muscly, Irish, Scottish, English, Austrailian, who has dark or light coloured hair that is either short or medium length.
You can't possibly change his skin colour though, it would break the iconic image of Bond that has been fixed in stone since the first book (IIRC the first film made changes to that image
).

Because James Bond is a w h i t e character with all the characteristics, history and social aspects of a white person.
Changing it to a black guy would change who that person is.
Maybe Black Panther should had been played by a white guy, which would make zero sense in the plot and story, but as long it makes you happy.

Is Lian Hunter (formerly know as Ian Huntley) a woman?
Is convicted paedophile Karen White, who was born Stephen Wood and who sexualy assaulted people whilst in a womans prison a woman?
You cannot have a situation where you believe sex segregation of any kind is necessary and also state that a person can change their sex based on thier own subjective feelings.
So it's one or the other... Do away with any sex based segregation and people can choose to be whatever that want or have some form of more objective test and maintain sexually segregated areas where you believe its appropriate.
Why does this matter more than the other aspects that are changed? Do you think skin colour makes people different in some deep way?
How exactly?
Black panther is a character who is defined in terms of race. Bond isn't. He's defined as a British secret agent with a license to kill, a fondness for martinis and a poor attitude to women.
The people with the money backing the films can be a bit more conservative.... But the actors? You have to be joking?

"IT'S OK TO CHANGE THE WHITE GUY BUT NOT THE BLACK GUY"
No, he isn't a women. Doesn't even LOOK like a women, looks like a bloke in a wig :/
