The upcoming No Time to Die will be Daniel Craig's fifth -- and final -- turn as James Bond, which has led to much speculation about who will fill his considerable shoes.
I know he has his detractors, but Craig is my favourite Bond since Sean Connery. His act will be a tough one to follow.
Many successors have been tossed around of late, with folks suggesting everyone from Idris Elba to Henry Cavill should play 007. And there has been a strong push from some who suggested James Bond should be Jane Bond, and a woman take on the role.
The casting of Lashana Lynch as a new 00 in No Time to Die has furthered that speculation.
Well, long-time Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has confirmed the next Bond will indeed be played by a man, and explained why:
"He can be of any color, but he is male. I believe we should be creating new characters for women -- strong female character. I'm not particularly interested in taking a male character and have a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that."
I agree with her logic 100 percent. Gender swapping existing roles is lazy. Women deserve better than that. Come up with new and interesting characters instead. Amen.
No Time to Die explodes into theatres everywhere April 2.
