A Black Female 007

James Bond fans wanting 007 to be either black or female are in for a double treat — with the movie spy about to be played by a black woman, according to a report on Sunday.

British actress Lashana Lynch, 31, will be introduced as the new 007 in what is being described as a ‘popcorn-dropping moment’ in the franchise’s 25th movie that is currently being filmed, according to the Mail on Sunday.

I think is going to be a great Bond film.

I'm still reeling at the cultural appropriation myself.

This really smacks of desperation trying to revive a dying franchise.
