James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has said that the character could be non-binary in the future.As speculation mounts over who will replace Daniel Craig in the role following No Time To Die, the producer appeared on the Girls On Film podcast and reiterated that Bond would remain a man.However, when host Anna Smith asked about the prospect of a non-binary 007 in future, Broccoli replied: “Who knows, I think it’s open, you know? We just have to find the right actor.”The Bond boss’s latest words come after she said last week that the next iteration of the spy would be a British man of “any ethnicity”.“I think it will be a man because I don’t think a woman should play James Bond,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Is it possible that a future James Bond could identify as non-binary? Producer Barbara Broccoli thinks so. 

JAMES Bond could identify as non-binary in the future, 007’s producer has revealed. Britain’s most famous spy could could be someone who considers themselves neither male nor female, and usually prefers to be referred to as “they” rather than “he” or “she”, Barbara Broccoli has said in a new interview.

With the hunt for the next James Bond set to begin next year, the producer behind the hit film franchise is indicating that there could be some major changes in store.

James Bond film, No Time To Die.The actor reflected upon his exit from the franchise – which saw him killed off in in no uncertain terms to save his family – on the  No Time To Die: The Official James Bond Podcast.“There were lots of different ideas that came and went and some of it stuck. The through line of this is family [and] love, plus the fact we had an end so it was about hanging the film off that,” said Craig.He also described the way that the film panned out as “really very, very satisfying.”One of the film’s producers, Michael G Wilson, said of the ending: “I think all of us discussed that it seemed like a situation that we could tackle for the first time in the Bond series.

The hunt for the next James Bond is seemingly underway. With “No Time to Die” released all over the world and the days of Daniel Craig’s 007 done as a result, it’s time for producer Barbara Broccoli to begin her search for the next actor to take on the role.

NO ONE gave Tom Holland a second glance when I first met him on a floodlit golf course in Atlanta five years ago.

the Hollywood site reported.Broccoli was joined by producer Michael Wilson, special effects supervisor Chris Corbould — and Rami Malek, who plays Bond’s latestnemesis, Safin.Daniel Craig, who has portrayed 007 since 2006, did not sit for the panel.“No Time to Die,” released in the US in October, is his fifth and last time as the suave British secret agent.
