Actress Ana de Armas: “We need to create new characters for women”
The Bond girl and “No Time to Die” star recently expressed her strong opinion about female casting for male characters. “I don’t think someone’s character should be stolen, instead characters should be created for women, and say something new about the world,” she said
Almost a year has passed since the release of the film “No Time to Die”, the last film in the James Bond film series, which, as we know, marked the high-profile departure of the actor and star Daniel Craig. Various opinions began to float around Craig’s retirement, among them the possibility of giving a woman the mythological character of Jones.
Recently, the star of the film, the actress Ana de Armas, was interviewed and said that she actually does not support this idea. “There’s really no need for a female Bond. You don’t need to steal someone’s character, or take over it. “What I would really like to see is the representation of female characters in Bond films, who will have more substantial roles,” she explained.
“I believe we need to create new characters for women. Strong and interesting. I have no interest in taking a male character and letting a woman play him. I think women are more interesting,” added De Armes. Finally, she concluded by saying that today, the industry does not give the audience what it wants, but what it wants to give. According to the reports, the production of a new film in the beloved film series will only take place in at least two years, when the one who may be replacing Daniel Craig is the actor Reggae Jean Page, the star of the series “Bridgerton”.
