No thank you. No need to transform a classic character and franchise into something they notably are not. Being cool and charismatic and smooth and whatnot, in other words essentially the polar opposite of the average Jesse Eisenberg character, is part of the core identity of the character itself. Change that and you don’t have Bond anymore. It’s a whole different character that shares the name for marketing purposes.

Nobody’s stopping nobody from writing their own movie with their own original character who happens to be a weird neurotic psychopathic nerdy secret agent, though. No need to hijack a cinema classic for that.
