Meg 455: Fear the Future

[nxylas]

Modern Bond movies are set in whatever year they're made. So, in No Time to Die (2021), Bond is played by Daniel Craig, who would have been about 53 or so at the time. But, Bond was born around 1920, which would make him [checks notes] about 101 years old during the events of No Time to Die.

So, it's fine that a 53 year old play a fictional super-spy centenarian with magic gadgets - but it would stretch credulity beyond reason that he be played by a black person?

Why?

(Don't worry - it's rhetorical.)

Somebody on another forum did point out that it would slow down the car chases, because a black man driving an Aston around London would get pulled over by the Met every 500m.
