On Sunday, the rumor mill churned into overdrive with news that Lashana Lynch, who’s best known for portraying Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel, is reportedly going to take over as 007 in the forthcoming James Bond film Bond 25.
“There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says, ‘Come in 007,’ and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful, and a woman,” a source tells The Daily Mail.
The article goes on to clarify that Lynch allegedly isn’t “the new Bond, but a new character who takes over [Bond’s] secret agent number after he leaves MI6” for retirement.
“Bond 25” is expected to hit theaters April 8, 2020.
