No Time to Die star Lashana Lynch weighs in on speculation that she will become the next James Bond lead following Daniel Craig’s departure. Lynch, who played the MI6 agent Nomi, caused a stir among the James Bond fandom when it was revealed her character was assigned the 007 code name in No Time to Die following Bond’s retirement from the British Secret Service. While Lynch’s character would later insist on giving it back to Bond, the death of Craig’s character sparked rumors that instead of recasting the role, the next movie could potentially follow her 007 instead.
