Barbara Broccoli has silenced any possibility of James Bond ever being played by a female actor. Speaking to the Guardian, 'James Bond's executive producer Barbara Broccoli said that she will not change him to please feminists. She said, "Bond is male. He’s a male character. He was written as a male and I think he’ll probably stay as a male. And that’s fine. We don’t have to turn male characters into women," she said. However, Broccoli said that she is open to the idea of making space for more female characters. She said, "Let’s just create more female characters and make the story fit those female characters.”
