Actor Ben Whishaw has expressed dissatisfaction with the brief reference to his character’s sexuality (coming out) in the latest James Bond movie, “No Time to Die.”
Bond, Jane Bond? Definitely not, the producer of the enduring movie franchise has confirmed.
Sir Keir Starmer, the “uber woke” leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party, said that is is “time for a female Bond” following Daniel Craig’s last outing as the iconic British spy in No Time to Die.
George Lazenby, who played James Bond in one film, agrees with Daniel Craig that James Bond will probably not be played by a woman.
Bond is a man. Bond is heterosexual. Bond is masculine. Bond is English. Period.
“No Time to Die” is pretending to be the first Bond woman with strong female characters. That is such a lie.
Trina Parks, who starred alongside Sean Connery as the dangerous villain “Thumper” in the 1971 Bond film Diamonds are Forever, says that a black woman starring as 007 just does not work.
Those familiar with the James Bond franchise know that “007” is not a person but a title, with the double “0” denoting a license to kill. So it makes sense that if Bond retires the title of “007” would go to another agent.
Just before Christmas, British actor Dominic West stirred James Bond fans by exclaiming that it was time for a transgender actor to be chosen to star as the next 007 and trans actors have grabbed onto this idea with gusto
