Lashana lynch It's not yet a world-renowned name, but it's better to get used to it, as the British-born actress has just made history by becoming the first black woman selected to play the new agent 007. Let it be clear, the actress will not play the character James Bond, but the character Nomi, who will assume his role as the code number 007 agent. In the fictional works of British author Ian Fleming — creator of the character — and the subsequent 25 films, the “00” refers to the agent who has “permission to kill”. 262523

For many years there was talk that James Bond should be played by a black actor, to bring a necessary dimension of inclusion to the franchise. After all, the character had always been played by white actors since his first film in 1962.
actors like Idris Elba (who played Heimdall in Thor: Ragnarok e Avengers: Infinity War), Michael B. Jordan (Killmonger, the villain of Black Panther) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 years of slavery) were considered for the role, when the idea was still to keep the character male.
The decision to gender change the agent in the future of the franchise was debated after the film's rejection at test screenings, which resulted in reshoots. 3c4w1c
One of the factors identified as problematic in the new film, by the test screenings held at the end of 2019, was the development of the female characters. Commonly in James Bond films, the bond girls they always ended up being reduced to one-dimensional characters. For this a name from the British industry was called to contribute to the script: Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The multi-talented actress and screenwriter had just produced the series Killing Eve, which masterfully explores the world of espionage, with two absolutely brilliant female central characters. Furthermore, waller bridge was winning all the awards for the acclaimed comedy series Fleabag, that is, the right artist to contribute to the script problems that the film suffered.
After the new scenes were shot, test screenings were positive and the film was finally completed. The film was ready to be released in April 2020, but with the pandemic, unfortunately, the premiere was postponed indefinitely.
A Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the franchise since 2018, received the changes made in “007 - No Time to Die” in a positive way, and it became aware that necessary changes were incorporated for the future of the franchise – which is now almost 60 years old.
confirmation of Lashana lynch as the future agent 007 is a huge decision. Giving a black artist a central character in such an iconic franchise is a huge step forward not just for the franchise itself, but for the film industry as a whole.
And This means that the characters on screen will better reflect the world we live in, not just a part of that world.
