Ana de Armas states that “it is not necessary” for James Bond to be played by a woman

Somehow the debate hasn’t just died. It matters little that Barbara Broccoli herself, co-producer of the saga with Michael G. Wilson, has clarified her intentions, ‘James Bond’ protagonists keep answering the eternal question: Should this British spy be played by a woman? Daniel Craig himself, current 007, recently wondered “why a woman should play James Bond when there should be a role as good as James Bond, but for a woman? “. Now Ana de Armas follows in her footsteps.

The aforementioned actress, who played Paloma in “No Time to Die”, joins her co-star to defend him. “We have to create roles for women, not just turning a man into a woman” stating, in statements to The Sun, that “James Bond does not need to be played by a woman”. “It shouldn’t be necessary to steal someone else’s character, you know, let a woman take the baton. This is an adaptation of a novel, which takes you into this world of James Bond and this fantasy universe that she is in.”.

De Armas, yes, adds that instead of wanting to change Bond’s sex, we should worry about asking for better posed characters in the case of the women around him. “What I would like is for female roles in Bond films, even though Bond is still a man, to come to life in a different way. Give them a more substantial role and recognition. Which I think is much more interesting than going around the protagonist “.

It won’t be a woman

As long as Broccoli and Wilson continue to lead the franchise, James Bond will not be played by a woman. Broccoli has been very firm about it making sure the next signature “He’s going to be a man because I don’t think a woman should play James Bond”says this production company whose bet is successful “creating characters for women and not just making women play male roles”. Thus, Craig’s relief will be given by an actor whose identity is still unknown why “there is no script yet” and the plan is to draw “A reinvention of Bond. We are reinventing who he is and that takes time. I would say there are at least two years left to start shooting”.
