First a Black mermaid now a Black woman as James Bond. Before you start getting worked up Lashana Lynch will not play James Bond, per say. Daniel Craig will simply handover the infamous code name, 007, to Lynch's character and there you have it. Just a new 007 not a new James Bond. over to a new agent.
The movie will reportedly see Craig retain the title role, however, being called out of retirement in Jamaica for one last mission. If previous trends are anything to go by – and if the move pays off – Lynch may then take over fully for the 26th movie.
In the era of getting things politically correct will this help or hurt?
