I suspect that female fans of Bond are a smaller pool, but I've adored Bond over the decades. My son is named after one of the Bonds. I took him to see the Bond in Motion exhibit in Covent Garden a few years ago.

Now 17, he was actually excited to go to the theater with me to see No Time to Die in person. Poor thing! He came out so shell-shocked and distraught that he put my credit card in the receipt slot instead of the machine slot at the gas station immediately afterward. I had to yell at him to just get back in the car because he was THAT distracted!

He said "well, I guess we're getting a new generation of Bonds when his daughter grows up." I pointed out that maybe the timing will work out: by the time she grows up, my son might be a father himself and can take his kid/teen. To be clear: we need time to go chronologically and not at some Hollywood sped up sense of time! I don't need to become a granny ANY time soon!
