Bond 25 ‘will see actress Lashana Lynch take over from Daniel Craig to become first female 007’
TWNews ^

ACTRESS Lashana Lynch will take on the iconic spy role of 007 in Bond 25, according to reports.

While titular hero James Bond will still be portrayed by Daniel Craig, 51, writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge has introduced a major twist to the long-running franchise.

She will introduce the Captain Marvel star, 31, as the current 007's replacement within the secret service, while a decision has yet to be made who will take over from Craig in Bond 26.

An insider told the Mail: "There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says 'Come in 007', and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful and a woman.

"It’s a popcorn-dropping moment. Bond is still Bond but he’s been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman."

The source also revealed that Bond will be brought out of retirement in Jamaica to thwart a "global crisis".

It comes after it was revealed Cristoph Waltz will reprise the role of Blofeld in the flick after he was spotted on set at Pinewood Studios.

The star, 62, played the head of a shadowy organisation of villains in 2015's Spectre, and is back for a second outing despite previously claiming he wouldn't be in the next flick.

The Mail's Baz Bamigboye broke the news on Twitter, posting: "Exclusive:Hello Mr Waltz... we’ve been expecting you.#ChristophWaltz is back as #Blofeld in ⁦@007⁩ #Bond25 , shooting scenes at Pinewood studios . When a visitor spotted him , Waltz insisted , “You haven’t seen me.”

The Sun Online has contacted a representative for Cristoph for comment.

Super-villain Blofeld tried to establish a global surveillance network in Spectre that would enable the organisation to monitor and evade criminal investigations at the highest level.

In an explosive finale, Blofeld's helicopter was shot down and the villain was seen crawling from the wreckage.

But with his fate left up in the air, it looks as if he evaded arrest.

Earlier this month Bond bosses insisted the next 007 film will be in cinemas in just nine months' time despite being rocked by a string of disasters.

A spokesperson for the spy franchise told The Sun Online that the 25th Bond movie would definitely be released in the UK on 3 April next year.

The troubled film has been hit with several calamities - including three explosions, a crocked Daniel Craig and Grace Jones walking out.

A triple explosion erupted at the 007 Stage at the movie franchise's Pinewood Studios base in London last month.

A crew member sustained an injury during the blast, which took off part of the roof and several wall panels.

The disaster came after Bond star Daniel was injured while shooting scenes in Jamaica, forcing filming to be delayed.

He has now had an ankle ligament operation and was pictured with his leg in a supportive medical boot following surgery.

The Sun revealed how the troubled film suffered another blow when Grace quit her much-hyped role moments after arriving on set.

Grace, who played villain May Day in 1985’s A View To A Kill, walked away after discovering how few lines she’d been given.

The film was also thrown off course by the departure of original director Danny Boyle, who quit over a script dispute, in August 2018.

the money Star Wars used to make, you mean

Look at that drop-off from 7 to 8 (40% audience lost), or the even more dramatic plunge from Rogue One to Solo (65%).

I think Gert Frobe was last seen in "Joe Dirt", BTW.

He appeared to be much slimmer, so maybe the laser technique will help Lynch.

That is, if she thinks she needs it.

Jane Bond. Ugh.

Wouldn't surprise me if she stills go by "James" Bond and have a passion for girls.

At least I have my collection of good James Bond movies. This is the end of British culture.

"Thunderbutt"

She always walks while others run
She talks while men get her work done
She looks at this world and wants her cut
So she strikes like Thunderbutt

She knows the meaning of "care less"
Her needs are more, so she creates job stress
They call her the whiner who's a mutt
And she strikes like Thunderbutt!

Any woman she wants she will get
She munches all carpets without regret
Her days of asking are all gone
Her bitching goes on and on and on
But she thinks that all men should be kaput
So she strikes like Thunderbutt!!

Over time they converted Bond from a rake and a roue to just another agent type with action scenes; its only natural that they would finish the job with a female, ethnic of course.

It will be an abysmal poverty of Bond and Ian Fleming will be turning in his grave. Even crap should call it crap.

It’s gaslighting. They are determined to try to force white men into finding black women attractive, but it is never going to happen no matter how much they try.

Humans instinctively find lighter skin more attractive, it’s probably hardwired, and it shows up in cultures all around the world. India even codified it into their religion. Even blacks in Africa prefer lighter-skinned blacks to darker ones.

I stopped watching Dr. Who when they were going to bring on a woman doctor. End of that long series for me.

Why can’t women writers come up with roles that are really for women and stop screwing with our classics.

“Why can’t women writers come up with roles that are really for women”

I think they do. Scanning through the cable guide today, on Lifetime there’s the movie, “Psycho Granny”. I guess that would be a role for a woman.

In order for leftists to destroy everything they must destroy things. This is what it looks like.

If they wanted a black British spy, why didn't they get Freema Agyeman instead?

Dr. Who was another one I enjoyed when I could find it on TV. The older ones had good stories and plot lines. Love the Dalek. Once they started down the lesbian trail that was the end.

She is “beautiful,” “brilliant,” and everything else left wing social engineers want to foist on the public. They have failed to complete the picture until they announce that she is a lesbian.
