A new report suggests that Bond 25 — which still doesn't have a name — will show that the 007 moniker has been passed off to a new agent, played by Captain Marvel star Lashana Lynch.
, Lynch will be given Bond's famous code number in the next installment in what is being described as a"pivotal" scene. The new 007 will supposedly be tasked with heading to Jamaica to convince Craig's Bond to emerge from retirement and help take on whatever new catastrophe is imperiling the global order.
"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," the anonymous insider said, according to the report, adding,"It's a popcorn-dropping moment. Bond is still Bond but he's been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman."
If Lynch's role in the film happens as reported, Bond creatives will technically have made history by having a black woman play Agent 007, while evading possible controversy over whether or not the character of James Bond should be portrayed by a performer who is non-white or female. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 04: Lashana Lynch attends Marvel Studios 'Captain Marvel' Premiere on March 04, 2019 in Hollywood, California. Lashana Lynch is of Jamaican descent.
Born on November 27, 1987, Lynch is a British actress of Jamaican descent. She studied acting at Arts Educational Schools in London. During her second year, she was awarded the Laurence Olivier Bursary. She graduated in 2010.
