下一部007将由黑人女性出演

▍原文

It was bombshell news that left James Bond fans shaken and stirred - a woman will take over the famous 007 code name in the next movie.

British star Lashana Lynch will be given Bond's licence to kill in the 25th movie in the franchise, currently being shot in Italy and the UK.

It soon became clear, however, that Lynch won't actually be the new Bond, but a new character who takes over his secret agent number after he leaves MI6.

But regardless, the decision to give 007 to a woman has divided hardcore fans, and the first black Bond girl to grace the silver screen is most certainly not happy.
