NICE. The new trailer for No Time To Die, the 25th installment in the James Bond series, dropped today!
I've been a life-long James Bond fan, as it was a tradition for my dad and brother and I to binge Bond films around the holidays. "Bond-a-thon" is what we dubbed it, and I have very fond memories of that time in front of the television at our house.
I have simply adored Daniel Craig as the titular British spy - despite some less-than-stellar writing in some of the more recent Bond films. No Time To Die has been generating buzz about the possibility of a female version of 007, and given the trailer Screenrant dives into that notion:
Arguably the biggest theory about No Time To Die is that Lynch's character is the new 007. That's not to say the movie is introducing a female James Bond, but simply that she has taken on the codename in his absence, since he was very much on the outs from MI6 at the end of Spectre, and that's a gap that needs filling. While it's very much been in the theory/rumor bracket for a while, the No Time To Die trailer supports this notion by directly calling attention to the fact that Nomi is a 00-agent, but not telling us her full number.
Whomever the franchise decides to play the infamous spy is irrelevant. Daniel Craig's version ushered in a darker, more brooding version of James Bond (as opposed to the snarky, chauvinistic tendencies of previous versions) and was met with much success. If the creators/writers were to cast a female actress in the role, there would be naysayers for sure - but in the end if the writing and film-making is good fans will turn out anyway.
I know that I'll be there.
