James Bond misses out on getting a Mrs Bond in his latest adventure, even after marrying.
In a bid to update 007, his new wife, Madeleine Swann, keeps her maiden name.
The pair met in the last Bond film, 2015’s Spectre.
A source revealed how in No Time To Die the spy, played by Daniel Craig, says: “Morning, Mrs Bond,” but Madeleine, played by Léa Seydoux, replies: “Don’t you mean Ms Swann.”
“After Madeleine’s response Bond looks at her in an admiring way. It’s why he married her. She, like him, is tough and independent. The daughter of a gangster.”
The source said Fleabag star and Bond writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a huge influence on the script and the film is “a big statement about how the franchise is moving into the 21st century”.
Last week it emerged director Cary Joji Fukunaga has and only he knows which will be used.
In one people are gassed on a dance floor, and there’s also speculation Bond is killed off to be replaced by a woman.
The ending of the new Bond movie is so top secret even its star Daniel Craig doesn’t know what happens.
Insiders say Fukunaga wants to avoid the climax of the film leaking out.
An insider said: “Everyone’s in the dark, the secrecy is off the chart.”
British actress Lashana Lynch will be given the 007 secret agent number after Bond leaves MI6 for a “tranquil life in Jamaica”.
But the synopsis says: “His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up.”
He must rescue a kidnapped scientist while on the trail of a mysterious villain armed with new technology.
The film is set for release on April 3.
EON productions did not respond to a request for a comment.
