'Bond is male': 007 executive producer Barbara Broccoli says there never will be a female James Bond

But she isn't the only one who thinks Bond should be male. Broccoli's sentiments were shared by Rosamund Pike and Rachel Weisz as well.

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.”
