With the release of Daniel Craig's last role as James Bond in "007: No Time to Die", who will replace him as the next 007 has once again become the focus of heated discussion.
According to the latest reports from foreign media, Barbara Brocory, the producer of the 007 series of movies, recently revealed that the future 007 will certainly not be a woman, but it may be a "non-binary".
On Friday, local time in the United States, during the guest podcast program "Girls on Film", Barbara Brockley, the producer of the 007 series of movies, talked about the gender issue of the next 007.
"I don't think we're going to make movies that have women playing male roles." Barbara Brockori said: "I do think we should make more films featuring women, but I think Bond should be a man. ”
Host Anna Smith asked: "One day in the future, is it possible that Bond is not binary gender?" ”
"Who knows," Brockori responded, "I mean, everything is possible, it's just that we have to find the right actor." ”
In fact, not only Barbara Brockley, but even Daniel Craig himself, believes that the next 007 should not be played by women.
"Why let women play James Bond? There are many other roles as good as Bond's, which should be played by women. ”
There has been a lot of speculation about who will be the next 007 actor, with the likes including Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, Henry Cavill, Aidan Turner and Idris Elba.
However, in "007: No Time to Die", black actress Rushna Lynch took over the code name of James Bond "007", although she later returned this code name to Bond, but in the eyes of many fans, the transmission between the two means a kind of inheritance, which means that the next 007 will most likely be a woman, because the two have a very suggestive dialogue in the film - "007, just a code name!" ”
But for now, the next 007 movie will certainly not let an actress play 007, after all, in this box office-only era, the producers need to consider whether the audience can accept this drastic change. Since the first 007 actor, Sean Connery, the characters played by George Razambe, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig have all been male.
For half a century, whether they are loyal fans of the original novel or not, fans of 007 movies have accepted the setting that Bond is a male agent, and if it is changed to a woman, it is likely that the audience will resist because it is difficult to adapt, which is more than worth the loss for the producer.
