"I'm such a feminist, but you can't have a woman. It just doesn't work."
"James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else."
"I'm so excited to see the next man come on the stage and to see a whole new exuberance and life for this character..."
"In 2025, it's nice to say, 'Oh, she should be a woman,' But, I don't really know if I think that's the right thing to do."
Daniel Craig left the James Bond role after the 2021 film No Time to Die. Jacob Elordi, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Harris Dickinson, and Tom Holland have been mentioned as potential successors. Several high-profile figures in Hollywood have insisted the role must remain male, offering statements that a female Bond would not work and that the next performer should be a man. Critics of that stance argue that aside from catchphrases, the 007 nickname, and the name James, there is nothing inherently male about the character that would prevent a woman from portraying the role successfully.
