Lashana Lynch will play 007 in new James Bond movie: report By Lee Brown July 14, 2019 | 10:02am | Updated JAMES BOND
James Bond fans wanting 007 to be either black or female are in for a double treat — with the movie spy about to be played by a black woman, according to a report on Sunday.
British actress Lashana Lynch, 31, will be introduced as the new 007 in what is being described as a ‘popcorn-dropping moment’ in the franchise’s 25th movie that is currently being filmed, according to the Mail on Sunday.
But it is not a complete do-over — with her just taking James Bond’s secret agent number after he retires from MI6, the report states.
Bond himself will still be played by Daniel Craig — and will still adhere to his old-fashioned macho characteristics, an insider told the UK paper.
‘Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don’t work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her eyes at him and has no interest in jumping into his bed,” a source told the Mail.
The insider called it a “pivotal scene” when Bond is called back from retirement and introduced to Lynch as the new 007.
“It’s a popcorn-dropping moment. Bond is still Bond but he’s been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman,” the source told the Mail.
Londoner Lynch, who played the fighter pilot Maria Rambeau in “Captain Marvel”, is hoped to modernize the franchise criticized by many as being too dated and sexist.
“This is a Bond for the modern era who will appeal to a younger generation while sticking true to what we all expect in a Bond film,” the source said.

They can do as they want with it as I do not give a šhit one way or another...and am highly unlikely to watch any black lickers on my television.
Bond hasn't been the same since Roger Moore did his last one. IDK if Moore was better or Connery was, but they both defined the character. IMO Live and Let Die was the best Bond ever. The rest of Connery's and Moore's efforts were watchable, but they could have stopped after Live and Let Die and the series would have been excellent.

Barbara Broccoli is the producer of the bond series and she inherited it from her father Albert. It’s made her family rich beyond belief and she’s very protective of it. I don’t see her chancing killing the golden goose over political correctness.

007 is SUPPOSED to be macho, chauvinist, and chock full of testosterone. It's a character. He's written that way. Cubby Broccoli would be pissed. I know I am.
I always liked Timothy Dalton, "License to kill" and "The Living Daylights". The stories were a little weak, but I thought he was a pretty good Bond. For me he's just below Connery and above Bronsnon and Moore. I don't care for Craig for some reason. Too dark and brooding, I guess. But let's get down to brass tacks here. There are three things involved in every James Bond movie that draw men in, and one thing for women. Men like the action, the gadgets and the Bond Girls. Ladies like the handsome, sexy James Bond. A female Bond writes off two of the four without a second glance. Pretty damn stupid to mess with a winning formula on account of PC or anything else. But then lately, Hollywood hasn't exactly been considered a cerebral capital! 7mm

James Bond begin with Sean Connery and ended with Roger Moore...........period. I'll always give Connery a light nod, but Moore was every bit a good Bond as well.
It is somewhat sickening to replace Bond with a woman, and a Negro one at that. It is a reflection of the world we are living in today. If you want to have a female agent, she should be good looking, which means a White woman, not an ugly azz African.
well, I suppose the Roger Moore Bond movies won't be considered the worst anymore.
Oh, dude!
Rog is higher up on the list than Dalton and Brosnon. Roger should have skipped Moonraker, though. Bad plot. Then there was the end to The Spy Who....... How can you screw up a movie with Kurt Jurgens for gosh sakes????

I actually liked Dalton but the Brosnon movies just had crappy writing and plots. Who can forget George Lazenby? Moonraker was the suckiest of all of them though.
The Craig movies (as my wife dubs him "The Psyco Bond"} I do like.
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated
There are a bunch of stunning black actresses but Lashan Lynch isn't one of them. Whomever wrote that copy is blind and must have also thought the linebacker former First Lady was beautiful. I hope someone is just building buzz because this flick will be dead before arrival if this is for real. No world, modern or otherwise, should have to see such excerment.

Give me an example of a full blooded Negro actress who is beautiful?

Looking back on they way Lazenby portrayed Bond, I like it. His was a very good flick until it went '60s psychedelic. Other than that, it was a solid spy movie. Problem was, he wasn't Connery so he was doomed. Also, according to such sources as Dianna Rigg herself said Lazenby was a neophyte actor who hadn't yet learned his craft, since previous experience was modeling and a sprinkle of tv commercials. Evidently, he was beyond egotistical and an ass to work with.
Connery came back for Diamonds, but his age showed. Fans then started to accept it was time for a change.

Well; this is the 21st century and there just ain't gonna be no secret agent 007 that's a heterosexual, white male. Agent 007 must be anything but normal, and transgender'd would be a big plus along with the usual Hollywood resume enhancers like Gay.
One of the keys to the popularity of the Bond franchise was that Bond was a sex magnet to women. Don't even want to think how that would play out with what's he name.

Another iconic part of (popular) culture trashed by miserable ugly people.
Agreed! Who would actually think this could possibly be a good idea?? You want to make a freestanding spy movie featuring a Ubangi woman as the star, fine but this doesnt fit the Bond series at all!!
As long as i ma concerned the franchise has been dead for many years now...Pierce Brosnan was the last JB. Daniel Craig is a stone face looking Britt that doesn't even fit the role. He came in and BMW went out. all the cool gadgets and toy went out. the essence of a spy movie was lost. i haven't been watching it for year.
i am more of a Jon Wick and Mission Impossible Kinda guy.

This sums it up perfectly!

But just who going to pay to go see the movie? ,and pay the actors and producers ,as it were .Last i seen ,lesbians and blacks ,never was big on watching Bond all that much ,and i dont think there is enuff of them to replace the audiance they are going to loose , but i could be wrong ,i am in my 50's so am judging it from the past
Ian Fleming's bond was a clandestine operative in today's lingo. He was a womanizer who drank and smoked far too much - "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" starts out with him basically going to rehab. Even though he tried to forget them, the people he killed eventually started to weigh on him. He used the latest tools available for clandestine operations but that wasn't what he was all about. Cubby Broccoli turned him into a cartoon character and a parody of what Fleming created, but those movies did sell. As much as Craig is a typical anti-gun Brit he brought back the hard edge that Bond requires.
This is the Bond that Fleming created:
From Goldfinger, Chapter One
James Bond, with two double bourbons inside him, sat in the final departure lounge of Miami Airport and thought about life and death.
It was part of his profession to kill people. He had never liked doing it and when he had to kill he did it as well as he knew how and forgot about it. As a secret agent who held the rare double-O prefix—the licence to kill in the Secret Service—it was his duty to be as cool about death as a surgeon. If it happened, it happened. Regret was unprofessional—worse, it was death-watch beetle in the soul.
And yet there had been something curiously impressive about the death of the Mexican. It wasn't that he hadn't deserved to die. He was an evil man, a man they call in Mexico a capungo. A capungo is a bandit who will kill for as little as forty pesos, which is about twenty-five shillings—though probably he had been paid more to attempt the killing of Bond—and, from the look of him, he had been an instrument of pain and misery all his life. Yes, it had certainly been time for him to die; but when Bond had killed him, less than twenty-four hours before, life had gone out of the body so quickly, so utterly, that Bond had almost seen it come out of his mouth as it does, in the shape of a bird, in Haitian primitives.
What an extraordinary difference there was between a body full of person and a body that was empty! Now there is someone, now there is no one. This had been a Mexican with a name and an address, an employment card and perhaps a driving licence. Then something had gone out of him, out of the envelope of flesh and cheap clothes, and had left him an empty paper bag waiting for the dustcart. And the difference, the thing that had gone out of the stinking Mexican bandit, was greater than all Mexico.
Bond looked down at the weapon that had done it. The cutting edge of his right hand was red and swollen. It would soon show a bruise. Bond flexed the hand, kneading it with his left. He had been doing the same thing at intervals through the quick plane trip that had got him away. It was a painful process, but if he kept the circulation moving the hand would heal more quickly. One couldn't tell how soon the weapon would be needed again. Cynicism gathered at the corners of Bond's mouth.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
Great, just f u c k i n g great, a GROID BLEEDER. Nothing is sacred...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
Wasn't it Daniel Craig who couldn't even drive a stick shift car? Sean Connery was, and always will be my idea of the James Bond character. The rest of them are just poor imitations. Jerry
This is actually the only move they could make. They last floated Idris Elba as the next bond. Pushback was SIGNIFICANT primarily due to him being black. So they were stuck, couldn't have Craig continue and save face, couldn't put up another white actor.....Hmmmm. Need a new plan.
She isn't the next Bond, in fact Craig is in the movie as Bond, a retired Bond, so no longer 007. She is a new spy, a new 007
Gives them two possible paths, actually 3: 1) She fails, they still have Bond to fall back to 2) She succeeds, Bond can stay retired 3) New franchise in a later timeline than Bond, keep Bond going
Lessee here...impossible stunts, sexy women, high-tech devices, sexy women, prank humor, sexy women, fancy guns, and did I mention sexy women? The whole series is aimed at adolescent males with lukewarm IQs who imagine themselves as Bond. Bring in a so-so looking woman as the main character and you lose at least half the draw for that crowd.
Yep, right along with the remake of Ghost Busters, the recent Star Wars movies, and the latest Terminator movie. I wonder if Hollywood will figure out that women and blacks replacing male white characters doesn't sell. More likely, they don't care.

YIKES!

I take it that the Jame Bond movie after this one will be exclusively about this black chick who took the 007 number. That will be the last one (due to nobody going to see it or rent it), till the franchise is started up again with a proper man (of credible British ancestry) in the role, which they may never choose to do.
Ian Fleming in Vermont/NewYork This property borders my hunting camps. At one tine Fleming talked about going to a very large rock at the end of a stone wall in the woods which is the NY / VT border. There ,he would gather his thoughts. Years ago my brother shot a buck there and has been a very good watch ever since. Ernie Cuneo was also part of the mix. Web

James Bond Was Going To Fight Robot Sharks With Nukes In New York's Sewers
The line "sharks with fricking lasers" was once popular on Slashdot. It sounds like a joke, but a never-made James Bond movie co-written back in the day by Sean Connery was actually going to feature robotic sharks carrying stolen NATO nukes in order to attack New York. Bond was going to stop the sharks inside the New York sewer system, waterski out of the sewers, paraglide up to the Statue of Liberty's head, then fight a Bond villain inside said head, with the villain's "blood trickling out of the Statue of Liberty's eye like tears" at the end of the fight. slashdot

Leanwolf--- yea it was an over the top farm for the area- but it at one time had a highly prized Jersey or Guernsey Cow herd --the butterfat % of the milk was very very high. If you set the cream in the frig over night it would be a thick as mayo in the morn. There was a stud farm there for the race horses and in the spring a Sugar house boiled maple sap In the 1950 's during the cold war one would be very surprised who showed up at this secluded place. ---- My Father and Uncle Worked there---- Web
I believe Will Smith will play Lashana playing 007. If you add a mustache to that stunning beauty, you could easily have another Men In Black sequel...
