It will be a man.

He will likely be in his 30s.
Whoever says yes is doing so with the expectation of at least a decade’s worth of films.
“Whiteness is not a given”.

Not exactly a massive revaluation but I hope they're bold enough to be different.

The Jinx film almost happened. There was a script, a director in Stephen Frears but apparently MGM got cold feet spending $80m on the film.

Berry said,

“It was very disappointing. It was ahead of its time. Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star. They just weren’t sure of its value. That’s where we were then.”

Modesty Blaise was supposed to be a 'refugee' raised in 'the Middle East.' She could be Kashmiri, Afghan, or Iraqi.

I'd do it with two actresses; a fifty-something Modesty narrating her life story and a younger actress for the early years.
