History is about to be made as British actress, Lashana Lynch is set to take over from Daniel Craig – James Bond – as the new 007 at MI6 in the upcoming movie in the Bond franchise.
The 31-year-old actress is the new character who takes over Daniel Craig‘s secret agent number after he left the British intelligence agency, this is according to The Mail, who quoted an inside source.
The source went on to say:
There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says ‘Come in 007’, and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful and a woman.
It’s a popcorn-dropping moment. Bond is still Bond but he’s been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman.
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. Well, certainly not at the beginning.
The source went on to add that the phrase “Bond girls” is now forbidden. “We were all told that from now on they are to be addressed as ‘Bond women’,” the source stated.
31-year old Lynch had her breakthrough role as the fighter pilot Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel, released earlier this year.
Lynch made her debut in the 2011 drama Fast Girls, and has also appeared in Silent Witness and Death In Paradise. She was also a regular cast member on the 2015 BBC show Crims. She also played Rosaline Capulet in the ABC period drama series Still Star-Crossed, set after the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
