In a 'popcorn-dropping moment' the actress is handed Bond's number Bond girls have been renamed as Bond women in the new movie The new Bond movie pays tribute to the past 007 films

==============================================================

Since Daniel Craig announced he was standing down as James Bond, debate has raged whether the next 007 should be a woman, or black.

Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that she will be both – thanks to the intervention of feminist TV writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

In what's been called a 'popcorn-dropping moment', British star Lashana Lynch, will be given Bond's licence to kill in the 25th movie in the franchise, currently being shot in Italy and the UK.

However, traditionalists can relax: she's not the new Bond, but a new character who takes over his secret agent number after he leaves MI6.

The story begins with Bond retired in Jamaica. But spymaster M – played by Ralph Fiennes – calls him back in desperation to tackle a new global crisis.

A movie insider said: '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.

This will make as much money for the studios as female soccer players do for their organizations and the WNBA players do for WNBA. But of course they need to get the same salaries. It’s only fair (must I type “ sarc”?)

I’d see it if they make Halle Berry a new Bond. The proposed dyke is too heavy from behind for a special operator.

It’s going to make the Ghostbusters vagina reboot look Oscar worthy

The name is Bond...Jane Bond...

No good, he should be named Rod Long.

The woman is homely, at best.

I bet 007 is a lesbian in the movie.

Sounds like the 1967 mistake with David Niven as Bond in the second casino royale.

I think this movie will be a wake up moment for those who finance movies in Hollywood. there has never been A James bond movie that was a total bomb and lost money for those making it... I predict this one will.

WTF?

A black female James Bond?

I desperately hope she will be a lesbian so we don’t lose all the hot Bond Girls too.

“Lashana Lynch-——beautiful????

I think not....”

I had never heard of her so I pulled up a picture, suddenly I had a vision of Niagara Falls, I was confused, I thought my 75 year old brain had short circuited, then I remembered that Niagara Falls is the only place I have ever seen black squirrels.

Ian Fleming is probably spinning in his grave.
