Bond is one of the greatest fictional character creations of the twentieth century, written by British intelligence officer Ian Fleming, so you knew this was coming.

Fleming, by the way, also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Whoever portrays 007 next, nobody out there wants a woke James Bond. People in Hollywood may want it but the audience doesn’t.
