In a week, the stage is set for the Norwegian premiere of the James Bond film “No time to die”. It has long been known that the film will be the last with Daniel Craig in the lead role as 007.
For a long time, there has also been speculation as to who will take over the legendary role after Craig. Several have suggested that it should be time for a woman to take over the role. Daniel Craig, on the other hand, does not agree. He also does not want a colored person to take over the role.
“There should be better roles for women and people of color,” Craig said in an interview Radio Times.
– Why should a woman play James Bond, when there should be a role that is as good as James Bond, but only for a woman? asks Craig.

Not alone
Craig does not seem to be the only one who believes the role of Bond should still belong to white men.
James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli shares Craig’s views, but disagrees on one thing.
– He can be in any color, but he is a man, Broccoli said in an interview with Independent i 2020.
– I think we should create new characters for women – strong female characters. I’m not particularly interested in a male character being played by a woman. I think women are much more interesting than that, Broccoli said.

Female agent
The upcoming film “No time to die” is still not without a central, colored female character. For the first time, there will be a female 007 agent named Nomi – a new agent who collaborates with Bond.
Nomi is played by the British-Jamaican actress Lashana Lynch, who has previously played in “Captain Marvel”. She believes the character she plays is a strong character in the Bond universe.
– Mentally, physically, energetically and spiritually, she has everything covered, so that no matter what questions you had about women and this series is completely gone, Lynch said in an interview with LA Times.
