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.

Just beyond retarded.
Is it transgender woman?
Betty White as the lead in the next reboot of Blacula
And I will not be watching it.
‘It’s a popcorn-dropping moment.”
That statement assumes that there will be anyone in the movie theater to eat popcorn. I doubt it.
Heh, cultural appropriation.
If libs didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
As for the movie, naturally will give it a miss.
The only thing she’s licensed to kill is the franchise.
Halle Berry she is not.
That’s a man baby!
They killed the Ghostbusters reboot. They killed Dr. Who. Star Wars - ROP. And now they are driving the final nail in the Bond franchise. Way to lose money pennies.
Licensed to Kill erections
If its a good movie, it will work.
If its just about being a woman or black woman,it will fail.

Oh yeah...it’ll be a box office smash! Just look at how popular the latest version of a female Dr. Who is...
Is it transgender woman?

Apparently not the character portrayed (thank goodness). According to another article:
“Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don’t work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her eyes at him and has no interest in jumping into his bed. Well, certainly not at the beginning.”
