The script has Bond marrying Dr Madeleine Swann – the psychologist played by French actress Lea Seydoux who first appeared in 2015’s Spectre. But she refuses to take her new husband’s name.
The morning after their wedding, Bond wakes sleepy-eyed and says ‘Good morning, Mrs Bond’, to which she replies: ‘Don’t you mean Ms Swann?’
A source said: ‘The phrase ‘Bond girl’ was outlawed from the set. The women in this film are all strong, brave and fiercely independent. These women are not helpless girls who jump into bed with Bond – their reactions are very different from what people might think.
‘Bond tries his usual seduction techniques but they fail miserably. It’s very funny.’
Ms Lynch, 31, said of her double-O role: ‘Everyone was really responsive to having her be what I wanted. You’re given a fresh perspective on a brand-new black woman in the Bond world.’
She was determined her character should be a ‘real’ woman ‘who has issues with her weight and maybe questions what’s going on with her boyfriend’.
She even discussed something which has never made it into a Bond film before: ‘We had one conversation about her maybe being on her period in one scene and … throwing her tampon [into the bin].’
Looks like this will be the first Bond movie I won’t bother seeing. The trouble with the franchise is that production times are so drawn out that it ends up ticking culture boxes already obsolete. #MeToo is over. It ended when the only men accused, arraigned or arrested were all leftists.
Let’s see if Daniel Craig gets any more roles after this bombs in his kowtow to the PC overlords
Bond’s wife refuses to take his name?
How ‘woke’ is that?
Her word ain’t her Bond!
Bond gets married?
How bourjois.
Go woke go broke.
I won’t be seeing it.
Really….”I’m on my period”
There is true sickness and self obsession.
The left are grubby, and I can’t help but observe it’s mostly women who get quite disgusting concerning bodily functions as they become more woke and left wing.
Bond has got though the entire franchise of movies without once having to yell out “I’m outa crap wrap in here” or “I wouldn’t go in there for a while” whilst waving his hands about.
Newsflash to dumb fucker trashing lefties.
We don’t watch Bond for reality ……………………..it’s not meant to be a documentary on what happens to women when the painters are in, you sick, self absorbed selfish western women.
IT’S MEANT TO BE FANTASY.
Insanity increases if it is not treated early , like most diseases an ounce of prevention is better than a ton of cure . Wonder what the porn version will look like ,those guys take no prisoners , it will probably have a bigger audience and make more money than the woke one ,wokeists dont like paying with their own money .
It happened before, in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
The great Dianna Rigg.
It’s a pretty car. The film is expected to be 6 hours long which includes a recharging scene of 4 hours.
I haven’t seen a “Bond” film since 1997, and I see no reason to recommence.
Are the gender types killed split 50:50?
Are the gender types killed split 50:50?
Are you implying that there are only two genders?
Transphobe!!!!
All Bond has to do with his new car is put the “enemy” in the back and slide the seat back.Then they won’t be able to move.
I laughed out loud when I read the comments. Women have been not taking their husband’s surname since the 60s-70s, especially if they already had a profession using there own name. I know one woman who in the seventies rejected both her husband’s and father’s name and invented a new surname . The insanity is on these antediluvuan comments, the rest of us will go and see the movie.
Lefties are on a crusade to kill off all the franchises. They can’t create only subvert and they do it badly. I wonder what they will do once they have murdered all the big money earners? Big entertainment can’t die off fast enough.
John Nolte can capture a movie in a single headline…
Nolte: Woke James Bond Marries Bossy Feminist, Drives Electric Car
Yep, James Bond is now saving the world from water bottles.

Can I make a suggestion. Lea is really good looking… chart topping good.. so let’s give her a break. If she wants to go with her maiden name then we make an exception. Exceptions are for any sheilas over 9.5 and also she’s French. Imagine those looks speaking English in a French accent. That’s God given perfection and we should leave it alone.
Lea

Old School Conservative – bang on. Diana Rigg an absolute stunner in her heyday and smart!!
They will bore me to death before climate change gets me
This is basically the feminist utopia on screen where women get to choose their mates but men don’t.
It’s like fighting to end slavery and ending up with black people and white people laughing at each other’s farts.
Any truth behind the rumours that Prince Harry will be the next Bond?
Not being able to act won’t be an issue; he’ll just play himself.
Once a hunk always a hunk.
I may be 80, but I have no trouble getting women says 007 star George Lazenby (5 Nov)
He was having it off with Diana Rigg and the hotel receptionist. Respect.
Diana Rigg.
Must have been a bit sweaty

Ah, Emma Peel in the Avengers.
In her Lotus Elan.
MX5 pinched the styling cues of the Lotus.
Ooops. Sorry. That might bring in You Know Who
JC, Lea is very sexy.
I don’t think she can act at all – but that’s OK.
Shy Ted, you’re a genius.
“The film is expected to be 6 hours long which includes a recharging scene of 4 hours.”
The final nail will be when Bond cuts back on his drinking. They’ve already hinted at this in the Craig movies. On the other hand, IIRC, Bond has never smoked onscreen since Dr. No. There’s a bit of business with cigarettes and lighters in From Russia with Love but that’s mostly for codeword signals. And there’s the exploding rocket cigarette in You only live twice. The same movie also makes reference to cigarettes being bad for you: the lovely Karin Dor purrs that her employer Mr. Osato “believes in a healthy chest”.
It’s a pretty car. The film is expected to be 6 hours long which includes a recharging scene of 4 hours.
Brilliant, Ted!
Jeremy Clarkson didn’t think much of the new electric Aston Martin.
Doubt if he’d have much time for a woke Bond either.
Yes, it’s fantasy, so leave it as fantasy.
Where men are men and women are women and periods are left right out of it.
No-one fantasises about tampons, except perhaps some weird jealous trannies.
It will have a huge cadt if all 475 genders are represented then all the victims of old white priveleged men ,gee! Hste to be paying and feeding them all . Thank goodness they will all use the same toilet these days .
This modern world is choc a bloc full of tossers .
Timothy Dalton smoked, cuckoo.
And;-)
Come to think of it, the only Bonds who have featured as heavy drinkers have been Connery and Craig, so there goes that theory too. They soft-pedalled the drinking for the Bonds in-between. There’s one scene where Pierce Brosnan goes on a vodka bender and it looks as convincing as a six year old pretending to smoke a cigarette.
I will grade this …
‘E’ for effort
‘F’ for Fail
Just more cultural Marxist wrecking.
That’s not even new at all, Italian and many European women do not take their husband’s surnames, I do not wear a wedding ring and did not take my husband’s surname except to sign mortgage documents. I still have my passport and driver’s licence in my maiden name, it does not make me any less married which I have been for 40 years. What a pathetic lot of wokeness.
Can I make a suggestion. Lea is really good looking… chart topping good.. so let’s give her a break. If she wants to go with her maiden name then we make an exception. Exceptions are for any sheilas over 9.5 and also she’s French. Imagine those looks speaking English in a French accent. That’s God given perfection and we should leave it alone.
Lea as changed her tune regarding wokeness since her break out role (roll) in Blue Is The Warmest Colour.
Feel free to google at your leisure.
I see no big deal about not taking the husband’s surname, but why make a big deal of it in the movie, if not simply for the sake of wokeness?
On another note, I find it kind of funny when a wife (and sometimes a husband) uses both their maiden name and the husband’s surname to make it a double name (two-fathers). What if this concept was was continued through the children etc. You’d have one hell of a long surname after a few generations.
Does that mean the heroines don’t have to walk in a trench to look shorter that Daniel Craig?
Why that Daniel Craig character is so expressionless? The average Chinese shows more emotion. I won’t bother seeing this either – he(?) only identifies as Bond, not the real thing.
Daniel Craig’s pearl clutching pretend wife is not a patch on his real one and who plays a fantastic leading role in Enemy At The Gates. One of my absolute all time favourites.
At the end of the day Craig gets to go home !!
Sounds as though the producers are hell-bent on killing the Bond franchise, just to appease a handful of woke wankers who probably never watch the films anyway.
Bond should be the very antithesis of PC.
Ah, yes, Daniel Craig: “I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other.” Hypocrite?
He’s also scared of heights and driving fast …
Octopussy!
Jason Donovan to be the next James Bond?
https://en.mediamass.net/people/jason-donovan/james-bond.html
Does Rey descend from space and light sabre the bad guys? She is a strong woman with incredible skills that learns thing instantly and can never be vanquished. The should have a show with all the Mary Sue characters battling each other, it would go on forever as nobody can be allowed to lose.
No … just no!
They missed their chance — “The name’s Bond, James Bond“

Ohhh you are awful SH.
Great I’ll put this in my unwatched movie library along with the last Ghostbusters, recent Star Wars and anything with Cate Blanchett in it.
That’s a bonus.
Are husbands allowed to use their maiden name these days? Or is it Harry Merkle ?
MeToo is over. It ended when the only men accused, arraigned or arrested were all leftists.
LOL
Swann: Come quickly James, there’s a terrorist holding me hostage in the bathroom!
James: I’m on my way!
(he arrives and quickly kills the terrorist)
Swann: Erk! You’ve killed him!
Bond: What did you want me to do? Rehabilitate him?
(credit: pinched from Woody Allen, from the movie Annie Hall, in which he appeared with with Dianne Keaton)
But in true old-fashion, she’s retired from her profession when married.
It was “Dr Swann” in Spectre.
And Zulu, Spectre was disappointing and missable- but Skyfall was inspired in parts, Quantum of Solace was mercifully brief (the smokin’ Gemma Arterton as Agent Fields kept her dignity by covering up her first name Strawberry) and Casino Royale was good fun.
Careful, Mel Gibson was under consideration at one time. For my money, Lewis Collins from “The Professionals” would have made a damnfine James Bond.
In truth, it’s all been downhill since Goldfinger – from Pussy Galore to Pussy Snore.
Reality in a Bond movie?
I watch a movie to escape reality. I have enough reality in my life.
Really.

No-one fantasises about tampons, except perhaps some weird heir to the British crown.
FIFY.
Quite so. So very so.
I also believe the vast majority of them were of a certain (((group))), which was inconvenient. More importantly though, that movement was just a smoke screen, a distraction, from much larger and more evil acts of the Epstein kind.
No only has bond turned into a woose but apparently Thor will grow tits and become a woman. Women and the left ruin everything.
