James Bond could be non-binary in the future, revealed a producer.
Barbara Broccoli confirmed that the next 007 will not be a woman, but the character could be identified as non-binary during Friday’s episode of the “Girls on Film” podcast. Non-binary is defined as someone who does not identify as male or female, usually choosing to use the pronouns “they” or “they”.

“Yes, because I don’t think we should make movies in which women play men,” Broccoli replied.
“I think we should do more movies about women,” he explained. “I think Bond will be a man.”

“Who knows?” Broccoli replied. “I mean, I think it’s open. We just have to find the right actor.”
