The forthcoming James Bond movie, No Time To Die, will mark the end of Daniel Craig’s tenure as the iconic spy, while also introducing Nomi, the latest 007 agent. Lashana Lynch, the British actor, plays Nomi, who replaces Bond after he vanishes following the events of Specter and No Time To Die. Despite Lynch’s selection, she was subjected to online abuse when her casting was announced due to playing the first-ever female 007 agent.
In a recent interview, Lynch, who is 33 years old, spoke out against the trolls’ vicious comments. Lynch declared that she had nothing to say to the trolls, except that they are free to live in their truth, just as she is free to live in hers. Lynch is among the few women to have played a significant role in the James Bond franchise, with even fewer black women.
Lynch referred to her predecessors, including Naomie Harris, Halle Berry, and Grace Jones, among others, in the interview. She remarked that when Halle Berry and Naomie Harris were in the franchise, it was easy to relate to the quintessential English franchise and connect it to her life.
Lynch hopes that her casting will inspire other black women and that her career, choice of roles, and authenticity will highlight their strength. She stated that black women know what it feels like to be underrepresented and wrong, and they long for someone to speak their truth when they feel like they have no voice.
This is not the first time that Lynch has spoken out against the criticism she has received online. In 2019, Lynch stated that the response to her casting was not discouraging, but it saddened her that people’s opinions were not from a mean place but a sad one. Lynch reminded herself that the conversation was ongoing and that she was part of something revolutionary.
In addition to introducing Lynch to the series, No Time To Die will mark the end of Craig’s tenure as Bond. At this point, there is a strong possibility that Regé-Jean Page will play the character in the next iteration.
No Time To Die will hit theaters on September 30, 2021.
