The controversy leading up to the premier was ‘much ado about’ NOTHING. Warning: Spoilers!: Lashana Lynch’s former “00” was decent in the first half, action scenes but throughout the film, remained a mostly 2-dimensional character and no extraordinary skills aside from fighting, shooting and running errands for “M”. Her only disguise was a very poor, Jamaican[?] accent for 4 lines and one wig change? Her acting seems limited to 2 expressions as well: gruff & brooding OR, with smart-arsed comments & maniacal smiling. If you haven’t seen the current film, her part was overhyped and over marketed, with the resulting portrayal on par with say, Brie Larson in Captain Marvel and Sonequa Martin-Green (I know: “Who?!?) asStarTrek: Discovery’s Michael Burnam).

They never explained how MoneyPenny went from white to black or how Q lost half his age.

how exactly do you explain him changing from white to black 

James Bond will never be black, nor a woman, nor gay.

For all those who may be horrified at this comment, get your own super spy.

I have a question: Unless James Bond Dies and is Reincarnated, how exactly do you explain him changing from white to black ?

Its the Bond franchise we are talking about, this is pretty low level stuff in terms of continuity problems.

While you are at it you might ask:

How did Bond suddenly lose 10cm in height and go from having natural black hair to natural blonde hair between Die Another Day and Casino Royale?

Why did Dikko Henderson, a Bond ally in You Only Live Twice, suddenly become his arch nemesis Ernst Stavro Bloefeld in Diamonds are Forever?

How did Scaramanga's mistress Andrea Anders, who was killed in The Man With Golden Gun, somehow manage to become Bond's main love interest in Octopussy almost a decade later despite being dead and having a different name?

The list goes on....

It was in our faces the entire time *@Digger_Nick Sep. 27 11:49am***: **

- “As a Black man, it's my opinion that they need to keep JB as a white guy. Why not make a Black character, or a female character separate from James Bond? It would be awesome. It shouldn't be 007 though.” -

Jason Momoa’s presence is also a clue of how many watched No Time To Die before the commercial release. SPOILERS! - It has some unexpected ‘surprises’.

Where is the next Bond, Henry Cavill ?? He graciously doesn’t want to take away from Daniel Craig’s final curtain call.

Is that Jeffrey Wright, or Bernard Lowe? Hard to tell. - An underrated actor of whom we need to see more.

but wears a pink velvet DJ nevertheless..... how come so many people with so much munnee wer such horribly tacky (yet excruciatingly expensive) clothes?
