We can point to recent precedent flicks for paving the way:
Jennifer Garner in Elektra,
Jennifer Lawrence in Red Sparrow,
Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde.
And probably others I've missed. Relatred roles would be Vikander as Laura Croft and in Ex Machina, Gadot as Wonder Woman. Those are the bricks in the yellow road. It seems like this new Bond role was a forgone choice.
She doesn't look very bad ass -- or in any way exceptional. With most of the male roles, you could just look at the dude and know he had something going on.
Time and critics will tell.
