“Bond Is Male. He’s A Male Character. He Was Written As A Male And I Think He’ll Probably Stay As A Male.” Barbara Broccoli
Barbara Broccoli, who is in charge of casting 007, has put to bed some recent rumours in a recent interview she did with The Guardian.
The executive producer has stated that James Bond will “probably” never be played by a female actress.
Broccoli said:
“Bond is male. He’s a male character. He was written as a male and I think he’ll probably stay as a male. And that’s fine. We don’t have to turn male characters into women.”
“I’ve tried to do my part, and I think particularly with the Daniel [Craig] films, they’ve become much more current in terms of the way women are viewed.”
“However, because the film was written in the 1950s there are certain things in the secret agent’s DNA that may never change.”
Cary Joji Fukunaga was recently confirmed to be the director of the next Bond film, coming after Danny Boyle bailed because of “creative differences”.
Bond 25 is rumoured to be released 14th February 2020.
