Over the summer. there was a protest and outcall for the James Bond franchise to give a woman a shot at being the 007 lead. They called for “equality”. They called for a lady Bond.
Well, Barbara Broccoli says that won’t happen. Broccoli is the female producer of the films and daughter of the Bond creator.
“Bond is male. He’s a male character. He was written as a male and I think he’ll probably stay as a male. And that’s fine. We don’t have to turn male characters into women. Let’s just create more female characters and make the story fit those female characters,” Broccoli said.

You will never see a lady Bond, but we will see Bond girls take a more aggressive and assertive role in the movies, not just eye candy.Â
