Lashana Lynch Confirmed to Bring New 007 to Life.
It has been confirmed that Lashana Lynch will portray the new 007 in the movie No Time to Die, in which she will give life to James Bond for the last time. Reactions following the revelation that 007 will be brought to life by a black woman have included mixed opinions.
It was planned that Daniel Craig would give life to James Bond for the last time and meet the audience in this year. However, the movie was postponed to November and then to April due to the pandemic. Considering the course of the pandemic, it is not yet certain whether the movie will be released or not. But one thing is for sure, that when the movie finally comes out, we will start to hear the name of young actress Lashana Lynch much more often. Because Lynch plays a very important role in the new Bond movie.
As you may recall, an interesting claim has been made in the past months. This statement, which has been expected for a while, came from Lynch yesterday. Lynch confirmed in an interview that she will appear as the new 007 in No Time to Die.
Although 007 is a phrase associated with James Bond, it is actually just a code. It seems that the code 007, which was vain when Bond decided to retire, was given to the character Nomi, played by Lashana Lynch.
Referring to the reactions he received after these allegations came to the fore in an interview, Lynch explained how she dealt with the comments from those who reacted to the fact that a black woman would play 007. She said she found solace in the knowledge that she deleted her social media apps for a week, meditated, did not meet with anyone other than family members during this process, and that these reactions were not related to her person: “I am a black woman, if there was another black woman who got the role, the same conversation would have happened, she was the same. would be subjected to attacks, to the same abuse. I just need to remind myself that this discussion is happening and that I am part of something revolutionary.”
Expressing that bringing a black woman’s interpretation to 007 drew her to the role, Lynch stated that they worked with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, one of the screenwriters of the film, to bring a female perspective to the character.
