News leaked this past April that Lashana Lynch’s role in the James Bond tentpole “No Time to Die” would be that of the new 007, making her the first Black woman to take on Bond’s famous digits. “No Time to Die” picks up with Daniel Craig’s eponymous secret agent living in exile in Jamaica, and in his absence Lynch’s Nomi assumes the 007 moniker. Lynch isn’t the new Bond per se, but in taking over the 007 mantle she became a target of toxic Bond fans and internet trolls upset that a Black woman could fill in as 007.

In a new interview with Harpar’s Bazaar, Lynch’s role as the new 007 in “No Time to Die” is confirmed. The actress shared with the publication how she overcame the toxic backlash to her Bond role: “For a week, she deleted her social-media apps, meditated, and saw no one but family, while comforting herself with the knowledge that the aggressive comments were ultimately not personal.”

If they have "Bond men" in the same way that they have "Bond girls," I'm all in.

Bond to me is all about the character. You want someone who can be suave, sophisticated and charming, who can do difficult things and make those things look easy. You want a wink, a smile, and an appropriate quip. I don't see why a woman can't pull that off.

Bond is a horrible man though. Not a saint (the Saint? Unless he was Roger Moore). Anyone who has read the books knows that.

Bond uses people, is xenophobic and a womanizer. He is also.a cold blooded killer.

I'm shaken, not stirred.

I think Fleming would turn in his grave at the thought.

I think everyone likes Bond films. The fancy gadgets, the special effects, the over the top villain.
Also, mission impossible. They should make another one.

I think this is a bad idea.

God bless the chid that's got his own.
