Broccoli, who owns the rights to Bond through her company Eon Productions, did an interview with host Anna Smith with the ‘Girls On Film’ Podcast. In the episode, the question of a gender-bent Bond was brought up. replied that Bond will stay a man and stands firm that while gender-bending Bond isn’t going to happen and that new roles should be created for women.
That’s when Smith asked Bond’s pronouns and is it possible he could be calling himself They/Them, and Broccoli replied “Who knows, I think it’s open, you know? We just have to find the right actor.” It’s interesting she didn’t flat out say now, which means we could be seeing a different type of Bond in the future. She definitely wants the character to be British, and male, but maybe everything else is up for discussion.
Having hearing Barbara Broccoli saying the next Bond may be Non-Binary I'm done. After being a lifelong Bond fan, I'm done with this franchise. Not even bothering adding 4K No Time to Die to my collection.
If it’s not essential to the plot, don’t involve it in the story. How does James Bond being non-binary advance the plot? It doesn’t. It would simply be a marketing ploy, would be absolutely meaningless.
Quintessa Swindell is the perfect choice especially after they slay as Cyclone in Black Adam!
Couldn't imagine a better way to tank a franchise. Keep pitching to the vocal minority folks, hit the wall with style........
That's the death of a franchise. By Jimmy
How about they just stop talking?
No, just no!
Wow. Very misleading headline and the knee-jerk outrage tweets means people aren't reading the article...
Barbara Broccoli 🥦? Really?🤣
I can sense the first-world problem outrage...
She’s not serious.
No. Just no. No.
First they made him British and now this where will it stop
Yeah because pronouns are the first thing I think of when I'm choosing which big studio action spy movie I'm going to go see.
Bombs away.
Stop.
Be prepared to flop lmao
...
Multiple Bonds?
If it happens.... that would be the end of the Bond movies
Blech.
I won't be watching any James Bond who identifies as a pronoun. Ridiculous!

Uh oh. Here comes all the knee-jerk outrage....
