Last man to play James Bond, Daniel Craig made his debut in Casino Royale | PA
Former James Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams has said she believes the iconic British spy should continue to be portrayed as a white male.
This is as she argued that the character should remain faithful to creator Ian Fleming’s original vision, GB News reported Monday.
McWilliams, who cast the previous 14 Bond films over four decades, made the remarks during an onstage interview at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic.
PUNCH Online reports that the festival is the largest film festival in the Czech Republic and this year’s edition took place from July 3 to 11, 2026.
