I couldn't agree more with Lashana. Daniel Craig portrayed James Bond, out of all the others including Sir Sean Connery, in such a way that it mimicked almost perfectly the character from the books if anyone has ever bothered to read one. Mr Craig will remain my favourite Bond.

[@williampearson6299]

I'd still like a continuation with Lashana Lynch - even though that's unlikely. She really presented herself well and she's very capable as a 007. At least a TV series spinoff version. I don't see a lot of spies like her and, to be honest, if Atomic Blonde, Black Widow, Red Sparrow and Gunpowder Milkshake can barely make back their box office - Lashana lynch isn't going to get an audience to support her 007 either. An HBO or Amazon limited series would suffice.

While seeing the film, I said; "I can't believe that the guy who played Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, now he's playing a Bond's villian", so Rami did it very well. To be frank, what benefited his character was his BIG EYES, which keep you hooked on the movie. On Lashana, I didn't know her, so she's someone new to me however, her performance didn't disappoint anyone at all. As a result, she has a huge future as an actress.
