Set photos from Daniel Craig returns as Bond, the movie reportedly features a new female secret agent who carries Bond's old code number 007.
Speculation about the possibility Captain Marvel.
Ever since Lynch's casting was announced, Bond fans have been wondering what the new female 007 will look like in action. Now they've gotten their first glimpse via a series of set photos posted to The Daily Mail. In the photos, Lynch's character Nomi can be seen looking every bit the secret agent in dark blue gear, toting a machine gun and wearing an ear piece in her left ear.

The new set of photos was taken in Matera, Italy, where the 25th Bond movie has been shooting some of its biggest action scenes. These particular images show both Lynch and Spectre, on a beach working together with director Cary Fukunaga and other of the crew. The Daily Mail's report says that during the shoot, Seydoux could be seen talking into a walkie talkie while Lynch "stalked" down the beach. Craig himself is not featured in the shots, but The Daily Mail reports that Bond's iconic Aston Martin DB5 has been seen during other shooting in the same area, and also reports that Craig and Seydoux shot a kissing scene in Matera last week.
It is of course unusual for Bond to have a non-MI6 character like Swann carry over for more than one movie, but No Time to Die figures to be a mold breaker in more ways than one. Perhaps the biggest change-up from prior Bond productions is the presence of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who was brought on to give a more feminine perspective to the script. Indeed, the Bond series has long been criticized for its outdated, sexist attitudes, but it seems producers are serious about rectifying that situation this time around. Giving a woman the 007 designation is of course a big part of this make-over as well. It remains to be seen though if Lynch will keep the 007 code number beyond James Bond 25, or if her casting was just a one-movie gimmick pulled off in hopes of boosting a series whose reputation has taken many a hit in recent years (even if its worldwide box office performance has remained very strong).
