Face-Off: Most Anticipated British Heroines

In July 2017, news broke from two British entertainment companies, British Broadcasting and Eon Productions that women kick butt. One iconic British franchise, the BBC's Doctor Who (2005) chose to break the gender barrier by casting Jodie Whittaker as the series 13th The Doctor. Eon, another British media powerhouse, the producers of James Bond chose to create a new separate female espionage character, instead of recasting the iconic Bond. Blake Lively will debut the character, Stephanie Patrick in The Rhythm Section (2020), in what Eon hopes will be an equally successful spy thriller franchise. Which new British heroine character are you more excited to see in their debut: Blake Lively's Stephanie Patrick or Jodie Whittaker's 13th Dr. Who? Discuss the topic.
