Daniel Craig and Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be the second woman ever to be credited for a Bond movie script, but the Fleabag creator insists her gender was not the reason for her appointment. She said it was exciting to work on No Time To Die, in which Daniel Craig will play 007 for the final time. There was speculation that she was hired to make the film more inclusive, specifically to improve the portrayal of women in Bond movies. However, she denies that.
The 007 series is often criticised for its macho world and its skewed gender politics. According to The Guardian, at a session in Southbank Centre, Waller-Bridge said she is not the first woman writer on a Bond film. "[In] the first Bond film, there was [a female writer], but not since. But that didn't come into the conversation."
