'The name's Bond. James Bond. Pronouns: Them/they.'
He may be an enduring symbol of masculinity, but Britain's most famous spy could identify as 'non-binary' in future, 007's producer has revealed.
Barbara Broccoli has poured cold water on suggestions the role could go to a woman… but in a new interview, she conceded a future Bond could be 'non-binary' – someone who considers themselves neither male or female, and usually prefers to be referred to as 'they' rather than 'he' or 'she'.
Speaking to the Girls On Film podcast, Ms Broccoli talked about the hunt to replace Daniel Craig who is stepping down from the role after No Time To Die.
When host Anna Smith asked if she thought 007 would always be male, she replied: 'I do, because I don't think that we should be making films where women are playing men.
'I think we should be making more films about women. I think Bond will be a man.'
Smith suggested 'Non-binary, perhaps, maybe one day?' to which Ms Broccoli replied: 'Who knows? I mean, I think it's open. We just have to find the right actor.'
Ms Broccoli, who controls the 007 franchise through her Eon Production company, also said the next Bond might not be white, adding: 'We want the actor to be British… and British, as we know, can be many things.'
Names linked with the role include Idris Elba, Bridgerton's Rege-Jean Page, Mad Max star Tom Hardy and Bodyguard actor Richard Madden.
Last night, one Hollywood producer said: 'Bond has to adapt to the times but a non-binary 007 might be hard for fans to accept

Bond is dead. They killed him at the end of the last movie. Turns out, he DID have time to die.
As far as I’m concerned, that is the end of the franchise.
Ha ha....What I was thinking. I drew the line at that. Didn’t even watch one episode of that crap.
I remember watching the Bond films first run in a theater (Dr. No, Goldfinger, etc.). I wouldn’t even watch a 00-Swisher on free TV now.....
they have to destroy everything white-male-oriented that is positive
WTF is this crap? Let’s just kill off 007. The one that we’ve known and loved is dead anyway.
If the director remains a woman, 007 will probably change his gender somehow. I have nothing against women directors, but the current trend usually has a woman in charge being the one who blurs the lines of gender identity the most.
Remember, Bond gets his 00 in the beginning of Casino Royale. So it's the beginning of the Bond saga. And he dies in the end.
In some ways, No Time to Die is a thematic remake of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. If you listen carefully, you can hear the OHMSS theme music playing softly in the background during the Thames scene in the first half of No Time to Die. And you also have the Louis Armstrong song in the end.
Any future Bond film will be yet another reboot, with the saga beginning all over again.
This may confuse the Bond Girl.
To be a communist means you have to ignore reality. Enjoy the loss of lots of money.
WHen I saw Endgame, that was my last movie.
Yeah. WGAF. Bond died with Sean Connery.
There is nothing the progressives don’t touch but they destroy.
IOW, a fag.
Just what we needed, another fudge packer. Fags ruin everything.
He was a lousy spy. Kept getting caught. So now he wants to be a weirdo? Good riddance. There were no 007s since Sean Connery stopped playing him.
Fudge packers have been in theater and the movies since there were theaters and then movies. But in prior generations, they either did their packing discreetly, like Jim Nabors, Rock Hudson or James Cagney, or turned it into subtly humorous entertainment backed up by some serious talent, like Paul Lynn. Now they’re trying to smear their lifestyle all over everything. Don’t want to know about it. Thanks.
I think the next Bond should be a trisexual lobster. Hoping one eventually claws its way into getting that role.
