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.

Why don’t they just come up with a whole new story if they don’t want to continue with a handsome, roguish, manly-man womanizer as the main character? This isn’t James Bond, 007.

So if I get the plot right Bond retires and they pick a black woman to replace him. Just to be politically correct. Then they have to pull Bond out of retirement to fix what his replacement screwed up. Wow sounds like real life.

You can’t replace James Bond but you can have 007 number reassigned. But Bond would have to be dead or retired.

I got hooked on James Bond books and movies as a young teenager in high school in 1964, when I saw "Goldfinger" twelve times at the theater.

After that, I read every 007 book that came out multiple times and then saw every movie more than once. I've enjoyed them all over the years.

But I think this is the end of the line for me. James Bond is not a black woman.

Next thing you know she will be a lesbian or transgendered.

I would have accepted a black man as 007, someone like British actor Idris Elba. He'd make a perfect Bond.

But not a woman. Changes the whole dynamics of the character.

Ian Fleming would roll-over in his grave if he were alive today.

Leave it to Hollywood to ruin a good franchise.
