A former James Bond star addresses the possibility of the franchise casting a female James Bond, saying 'I don't think we're ready - yet.'
John Rhys-Davies shares his thoughts on a female James Bond being cast. Though the British actor is best known for playing Sallah in the Indiana Jones franchise and Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he also appeared in 1987's The Living Daylights as General Leonid Pushkin, an ally to Timothy Dalton's James Bond.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now, shortly after Killing Eve's Jodie Comer emerged as a contender, Rhys-Davies is sharing his thoughts on a woman taking over the role of the iconic MI6 super-spy in James Bond 26. In an interview with The Daily Express, the former franchise star says audiences aren't "ready for a female James Bond because the whole concept of Bond is really male and chauvinist.

Could A Female James Bond Happen Soon?

Producer Barbara Broccoli, who wields tremendous power over the film franchise, has repeatedly shot down the possibility of a gender switch for 007.
