The future of the James Bond franchise finally appears to be back on track. After a few years in limbo, the next Bond film has producers, a writer, and a director in Denis Villeneuve. The only major thing it's missing now is an actor to play the role. And while all signs point to the eventual casting decision being well, a guy, Reacher’s Maia Sten is making me wonder if a female James Bond isn’t the way to go after all.
Sten, who will next be seen in Neagley, a spinoff of the popular Reacher series, recently posted some images on Instagram that show her in a formal dress, with a martini, and even a cigarette. If you were curious what a female James Bond would even look like, I’m pretty sure it looks like this.
