Ana de Armas doesn’t want a James Bond woman, but she wants a change in the saga’s female roles

It was there for a couple of years Proposal for a James Bond woman within the classic saga of action and spies. One of the actresses who have been part of these films, Ana de Armas, disagrees with the suggestion; although yes, she believes that the female characters in this story should be different from how they have always been seen.

The actress Ana de Armas participates in “No Time to Die” as Paloma, being her debut in the James Bond saga and possibly the last in which she will be seen because it was the last in which Daniel Craig starred as Agent 007 and , therefore, its story is over. Precisely with this performance, the Cuban interpreter had to take a stand on the role of women in these action films.

In an interview with The Sun, Ana de Armas has revealed that she doesn’t want a James Bond woman, in reality; The actress believes that this character must remain as it is because it brings to life the novels of Ian Fleming: the role is male by nature and his story is about him within incredible missions full of action and adrenaline, change this piece key is not something you think is necessary.

There is no need for a female bond. It shouldn’t be necessary to steal someone else’s character to take over. This is a novel that takes the world of James Bond and the fantasy of that universe he is involved in, ”he commented.

Secondly, Ana de Armas proposes to change the female characters of James Bond. The protagonist of “The Gray Man” believes that what should be done is to give them a much more substantial participation and that they have a recognition for their reason for being within the story.

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. This is what I find more interesting than changing things, “he said.

On previous occasions, the actress had announced that female characters in action films should go beyond the simple love interest of the protagonist or a “sexy girl in action”, as happened in ‘No Time to Die’, a very different from his role in “The Gray Man” where he was part of the adrenaline but without relating his feelings or his body.

Ana de Armas and women in action movies

The action genre is usually dominated by male leads, with very few films featuring a woman in the lead role, as in the case of “Nikita”, “AVA”, “Salt”, “Resident Evil”, “Kate” and a few others, where the actresses lead the story.

On some occasions, despite being the protagonists, women must have some sort of romantic or passionate influence even if their story doesn’t mention it. While, if they are secondary characters, they are almost necessarily the partner or the date of the main role, often downplaying their characters only in that sphere, as Ana de Armas says it happened with her in James Bond.
