Despite her feminist views, Dame Helen Mirren firmly believes the iconic James Bond character should remain male.
Mirren, along with Pierce Brosnan, emphasizes the essence of Bond's identity, arguing that a female Bond would fundamentally alter the character.
This stance follows Amazon's acquisition of the franchise and upcoming plans for a 'fresh' take on the series.
While speculation abounds regarding the next 007, the debate about gender continues to fuel discussions amongst fans and actors alike.
