Ana de Armas Bats For More Substantial Part And Recognition In James Bond Films ; Rules Out Female Lead

Hollywood star Ana de Armas recently revealed that she wants Bond girls to be written as “substantial” roles while sharing her thoughts on whether a woman needs to play the next James Bond.

In a recent interview, de Armas said, “There’s no need for a female Bond.” “There shouldn’t be any need to steal someone else’s character, you know, to take over,” as per Page Six.

“This is a novel, and it leads into this James Bond world and this fantasy of that universe where he’s at,” she added. Instead, the 34-year-old actor believes women starring in future Bond films should play characters who are more rounded out and layered.

“What I would like is that the female roles in the Bond films, even though Bond will continue to be a man, are brought to life in a different way. “That they’re given a more substantial part and recognition. That’s what I think is more interesting than flipping things,” de Armas shared.

De Armas famously appeared in Daniel Craig’s final Bond film, “No Time to Die,” in which she had a meager five minutes of screen time despite being heavily publicized as a star in the 2021 movie.

She played CIA agent Paloma, who teams up with Bond on a mission in Havana. While her cameo was quick, de Armas received acclaim for her performance, according to Page Six.
