Rachel Weisz: James Bond shouldn’t be played by a woman
Page Six ^ | February 12, 2018

Rachel Weisz, who is married to James Bond (Daniel Craig), doesn’t think the next 007 should be played by a woman.

“[Author Ian Fleming] devoted an awful lot of time to writing this particular character, who is particularly male and relates in a particular way to women,” the Oscar-winning actress told The Telegraph this week. She continued, “Why not create your own story rather than jumping on to the shoulders and being compared to all those other male predecessors? Women are really fascinating and interesting and should get their own stories.”

I haven’t purposely watched a Bond film in probably 30 years.

I happened to catch one of Craig’s about mid-way. It wasn’t really bad but still not really good either. The last couple that I watched were basically jokes.

Exactly.

I’m going to see Tomb Raider when it comes out (yeah I know it’ll probably be bad). I don’t wanna see a male tomb raider character.

Why not just let Craig identify himself as female and problem solved. He will have the added benefit of being able to use the little girls room at Target and Walgreens.

"...James Bond..."


Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig are *both* outspoken gungrabbers...despite making stacks of money portraying people with guns.

The first two iterations of Craig as Bond were the best 007’s ever. The first one, nothing was close.
