Thumbs up Black lady as 007.

The James Bond Films Can Succeed With Lashana Lynch as 007 | Time

This is about time IMHO.

You just can’t reinvent the wheel, no matter how hard they try to.

Bond is not relevant these days, as dead as Ian Fleming. It would have been more interesting if this casting was done earlier.

Love the Bond series.


Probably would not pay to see her.

Coked up Hollywood has been miscasting lead roles for years but this one attains the height of absurdity so far. In the books written by Ian Fleming James Bond is a chain-smoking (was it Chesterfield's?), tuxedo or dinner jacket wearing smooth talking lady's man. Remember Miss Moneypenny? lol

Now if she is a good actress put her into a role that is believable.

Will she also be cast as a lesbian so she can continue the tradition of being a womanizer?

This is not James Bond. Just the agent who has the license to kill attached to the 000s. In this case 007.

James Bond is supposedly retired in the next Daniel Craig Bond movie and comes out of retirement facing a villain played by Rami Malik. Bond 25 | FULL cast list – Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas join Daniel Craig - Radio Times

There may be another male Anglo-Saxon James Bond who replaces the Daniel Craig one. It is probably the Broccoli family calling the plays. Barbara Broccoli - Wikipedia

Ian Fleming - Wikipedia Does not look like Ian Fleming has any close living relatives to pass on his wishes.

I thought they really messed up when they didn't choose Robin Roberts, that could of been a trifecta. A gay black woman, what could be better that? My second choice would be Jessie Smollett, but I heard he's going to be the next Batman
