No Time To Die Star Lashana Lynch Takes A Subtle Dig At Daniel Craig’s James Bond & Says, “Even If A 2-Year-Old Was Playing Bond…”

‘No Time To Die’ Fame Lashana Lynch says that even a 2-year-old could play James Bond. Lashana who played the role of Monica Rambeau in MCU‘s Captain Marvel is now playing the role of a new M16 agent named Nomi in the long-anticipated Bond flick.

The new Bond film ‘No Time To Die, is the 25th installment and the 5th and final appearance of Daniel Craig as the British Superspy. Directed by Cary Koji Fukunaga, the original schedule of the film was set to hit the theatres in April 2020. Fukunaga’s film was the first one to suffer pandemic-related delays and is now scheduled to release wide in the US on October 8. Bond buffs are quite hesitant to discuss the long-term future of the franchise, as, who will replace Craig as Bond remains an open question!

Lashana Lynch, in a talk with the Guardian, teases that it doesn’t matter who they pick as Craig’s successor. She thinks the next iteration of the character doesn’t need to be white and male because the franchise is such a huge deal, that the audiences will come to no matter who is on the poster. Lynch elaborated by saying, “We are in a place in time where the industry is not just giving audiences what it thinks the audience wants. They’re actually giving the audience what they want to give the audience. With Bond, it could be a man or woman. They could be white, Black, Asian, mixed race. They could be young or old. At the end of the day, even if a 2-year-old was playing Bond, everyone would flock to the cinema to see what this 2-year-old’s gonna do, no?”
