The pair have largely influenced the series’ casting decisions in the past – Broccoli, insisting on casting Craig despite widespread doubts that he fit the character.
In No Time to Die, Craig’s final film as Bond, his character will be introduced to Lashana Lynch, the franchise’s first-ever black and female 007. The film, which is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and co-written by Fleabag creator, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the 25th Bond film in the franchise.
