Read on as No Time To Die Fixes Franchise Issues With Female Characters…
CelebnMovies247.com would like to point out that Captain Marvel star Lashana Lynch joins the cast as Nomi, the series’ first-ever female 00 agent.
Lashana Lynch recently spoke with Tech Radar to explain how Bond 25 will fix the spy universe’s long-term issues with its female characters.
Lynch said that it was important for her to have a “sense of empowerment” as she played a successful, skilled and confident woman like Nomi, both for herself as a performer and for younger audiences.
Nomi will be a female role model for younger audiences, who’ll be able to look up to the heroine.
Lynch explains:
I think with women’s current agency, [it’s] the way in which they view themselves and the way in which they portray themselves as being – with the women that I’ve been in contact with – completely authentic and completely knowing that they’re enough. You see that oozing through the characters in this, both the female characters that have [already] existed within the franchise and the brand new ones like myself. You just have this whole sense of empowerment that is really important to feel when you’re going to work, but also important to show younger generations coming up.
Lynch went on to discuss how the character was formed, with herself, producer Barbara Broccoli, director Cary Fukunaga, and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge developing Nomi across pre-production and filming.
According to Lashana Lynch, Nomi as someone who’s “powerful,” “committed” and the best person working at MI6.
How is that for female empowerment?
Lashana had this to say about her character:
I knew who Nomi would be because I had direct conversations with Barbara Broccoli and Cary about who they wanted her to be, but also who I wanted her to be. And alongside that, I spoke with our writers and Phoebe Waller-Bridge who has done wonderfully in collaborating with us. And what I saw was a woman who had agency, who was powerful, who was committed, and who believed that she was the best person at MI6 [laughs]. She’s a Black woman, she’s forward-thinking. She’s unique, and she has many unique selling points that carry her forward in her career. So when I saw her on the page, it was very beautifully written, and I didn’t feel like I had to add anything too crazy. It was there for the taking, and I just did the best I could to fulfill what they’d already created.
