Moneypenny star Naomie Harris warns that Fleabag and Killing Eve writer Phoebe will use her “powerful voice” to “ramp up the female perspective” in the upcoming film.
“The Bond of old, his days are numbered,” says Naomie, speaking to GQ Heroes, in association with FLANNELS at Soho Farmhouse.

In the past 24 films she says they have’ve “managed to keep the essence of what Ian Fleming wrote” while “constantly adapting and changing with the times”.
Phoebe has said she aims to “sneak in” some Fleabag-esque feminist humour and make her Bond girls “real people”.
