Yesterday saw Jodie Whittaker cast as The 13th Doctor, the first woman ever to play the lead in Doctor Who.
But what about James Bond? A similar franchise – both have been around over 50 years, have seen their lead played by multiple actors and have evolved with the times.
Of course The Doctor is a Gallifreyan, part of a time travelling alien species who can regenerate into different bodies and swap genders.
But could Bond be a woman, going through a similar reboot to Doctor Who or the all-female Ghostbusters last year?
Of course the latest rumour is that Daniel Craig has signed on for a fifth outing, so it may be some years yet before Bond changes race or even gender.
