Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren has said that James Bond must stay a man amid growing rumours the spy may change gender after Amazon MGM Studios took ownership of the franchise.
The 80-year-old actress was asked if it was time for a female 007, ahead of the release of her new film The Thursday Night Murder Club next week, amid growing rumours the spy may change gender after Amazon MGM Studios took ownership of the franchise.
Mirren said: “No, it wouldn’t work. There have been some amazing women who’ve worked in the secret services with incredible courage, but James Bond is a bloke.”
“There’s room for a great movie about a great female agent, but James Bond is James Bond.” (IANS)
