It’s believed that she was the women behind the jaw dropping 007 replacement choice. Bridge spoke on Bonds role being questionable, considering his reputation with women
“There’s been a lot of talk about whether or not Bond is relevant now because of who he is and the way he treats women. I think that’s bollocks. I think he’s absolutely relevant now. The franchise has just got to grow. It has just got to evolve, and the important thing is that the film treats the women properly. He doesn’t have to. He needs to be true to his character.”
According to executive producer Barbara Broccoli, Bond is male and he will always be male. Though, Barbara did follow through with bringing more women into the story. Bond 25 has women replacing, women writing, women producing and literally women in ACTION!
According to a report in the British outlet The Daily Mail on Sunday, Lynch will play the MI6 agent who has been assigned Bond’s former number in the wake of his retirement. According to an insider on the film, which is currently in the midst of shooting, this revelation comes early on in the movie, during a scene when Ralph Fiennes‘s character, M, says, “Come in, 007,” and in walks Lynch.
