Bond. James Bond.
Perhaps the most iconic cinematic character ever, James Bond has gone through many iterations since the first time he graced our screens as legendary actor Sean Connery. We've had rugged Bonds, sleek Bonds, blond Bonds, Irish Bonds, and even talk of a black Bond if the rumors of Idris Elba taking on the part are true, but there's one boundary that hasn't been crossed.
There are rumors that in the next Bond film, No Time To Die, the torch of the iconic character will be passed onto Lashana Lynch, who is not only a woman, but a black woman.
"Yes!" Pierce said enthusiastically about the subject to The Hollywood Reporter. "I think we've watched the guys do it for the last 40 years."
"I think it would be exhilarating, it would be exciting,” he added. Brosnan was also asked if he felt Bond would have to change with the times in a post-#MeToo era, and his answer was confident.
"The #MeToo movement has been relevant and significant and well needed in our society, so they'll have to address that,” he said.
Controversial British figure Piers Morgan said his campaign to "save James Bond" started now. He said, "“They are not changing James Bond to a damn woman on my watch. He was the last sort of, slightly caveman guy, who would throw a woman over his shoulder, ravish her ‘til dawn. And we can’t have any of that, women don’t want sex anymore.”
