Helen Mirren On James Bond Franchise & Being Opposed To A Female 007: “Born Out Of Profound Sexism”

Helen Mirren said she is opposed to a female Bond, and is generally not into the 007 franchise due to its 'profound sexism' and portrayal of women.

As a result, the 1923 star said she’s opposed to a female actor taking up the mantle as 007 and would rather see retellings of women from history who occupied spy roles. In general, the fate of the franchise remains up in the air, caught in the crosshairs following the assumption of creative control by Amazon MGM Studios from longtime stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson in a$1 billion deal. However, in the most recent update, the conglomerate affirmed that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will run point as producers for the forthcoming installment.
