In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Lynch stated again that Nomi would receive the famous code 007.

“I am very grateful that I can evoke the story a little,” said the 32-year-old, emphasizing that she does not want to play a cliché character in “No Time to Die”. “It would be against everything I stand for. I didn’t want to waste a chance with what Nomi is suggesting. I wanted at least one moment in the script in which black people nod their heads – irritated by reality but happy that their real life is being portrayed. ‘

Already in the summer of 2019 it was reported that Lynch could be on the road as Agent 007 in “No Time to Die” (German title: “No Time to Die”) at least for a short time. The Daily Mail quoted an insider at the time: “At the beginning of the film there is a central scene that says, ‘Come in, 007’ and then Lashana comes in.” Craig’s successor is not supposed to be Lynch, after all, she’s not coming back.
