    I think this quote is based on the rumours in the press rather than a concrete idea of what happens.

    A paragraph above this it says she is the new black female James Bond... They're just saying what they think, regardless if it's based on actual information or not. Lots of people are doing this.

    Doesn’t look like a full confirmation yet. I’m still pretty sure she will be 007, but in the context of that article it doesn’t look confirmed yet.

    Yupp, completely baseless and probably more wishful thinking on the part of the Journalist who wants her article to sound more important.

    This sentence doesn't even make any sense:
    "who already has an elite 00 status, and takes over the 007 status when Bond leaves the British intelligence service MI6."

    Bond has long left the secret Service when they first meet. Either she's 007 from the start or not at all.

    I have no problem with Nomi being the new 007 following bonds retirement. Be interesting to see how they handle the end. Will he retire once more and she retains it thus closing off Craig’s arc, or will he get it back. I think either of these (probably the former) will be the answer and be the promise of “changing everything”

    LOVE seeing the continued Adam influence. It is one of the things that makes Bond BOND!

    Mark Tildesley was the best choice for that Adam style. I hope EON keep this guy on for future projects, although I do want Dennis Gassner to do another. Give them both another Bond film.

    Another set visit post, this time from Mashable
    https://mashable.com/article/james-bond-no-time-to-die-set-visit/?europe=true&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

    This is very spoiler-ific.....we almost know the first act entirely.
    • Bond is retired in Jamaica and not entirely happy.
    • Felix asks for Bond's help as a 'package' he is seeking is in Cuba.
    • Felix asks Bond as the CIA can't enter Cuba for political reasons.
    • Bond is enticed as Felix informs the former 007 that SPECTRE may be involved.
    • The 'package' turns out to be David Dencik's character (who will still haven't seen)
    • When Bond arrives in Cuba he realises that SPECTRE have been waiting for him.
    • Paloma is a Cuban agent and a friend of Felix's.
    • Nomi is a pilot.
    • Nomi wears a Tom Ford suit.
    • The reporter thinks the plot involves biological warfare.

    Indeed, a lot of details there. My theory regarding
    SPECTRE is that Safin will be killing off Blofeld loyalists and taking whoever is willing to join his own army, therefore helping close the SPECTRE situation. I have this feeling Safin will kill Blofeld as well.

    Not sure if you guys have seen this before with Olivier Schneider, supervising stunt coordinator.

    Look at the clapperboard on the right. Does that help in any way?

    I still don't know how I feel about this. Lynch seems cool but her character doesn't feel genuine to me. Hard to judge without seeing the film. Hopefully this will be the first and last time since such a thing can work just for one picture.

    I still think this could be a fake out. Not likely, but not close to out of the question, in my mind. And I'll admit that there's a certain amount of wishful thinking on my part.

    Going with the advanced version of the fake out: what if they keep referring to Nomi as a ‘00 agent’ during the film? So that she potentially could be 007 or potentially another 00. That they don’t reveal it at all.

    Because a reveal would only be necessary if she is 007, 100% confirmed. If they don’t make a big reveal, she could be either. And both sides of the debate would be satisfied.

    Besides, if she is 007, I’m shocked they don’t play it out in the lead up to the film more. The duality between Bond and Nomi could be captured strikingly by the marketing team. Why still keep it a secret if she is 007? To get the ‘big reveal’ moment? Not when people have been talking about it non stop, and a tabloid even claimed they know how the ‘reveal’ will play out.

    Isn’t it better to come clean about it before the film’s release? Unless they never intent to tell us which number she has, as I suggested.

    To be honest @DeerAtTheGates, I think if they did, people would just rip into them for not committing to a decision and would just try to make it seem like "EON don't have the balls" to make one. As for why they're still keeping it a secret?

    I think they just want people to find out within the film itself because they probably know that confirming without any context of how she's going to be portrayed will just launch another firestorm like we had before, whether it's true she's 007 or not, and that was when it was just rumoured... so I think they'd rather just let people see her in the film, reveal if she's 007 and then they can make their minds up what they think.

    The media have been unfairly crap with this film, so at least EON can maybe learn how to control it a bit.

    Think of it in the same way we don't know Safin's alligence; let the movie tells us.

    We will definitely find out who 007 is because we know M asks 'Where's 007?'

    If they include that in the final cut, that is.

    Way back I speculated that M would say to Moneypenny, “send in 007,”, after which, Nomi would enter his office.

    Isn’t this exactly the scene the Daily Mail described when the whole Nomi as 007 thing first was mentioned?

    Yes, I was just trolling. I think that EON would keep the reveal under wraps as much as they can to get that audience reaction, for the uninitiated, when Lynch walks in after M asks for 007. It's no big deal, anyone could have been issued the number once Bond retired from the service. I'm sure Bond himself takes it in stride when it's revealed to him that she is now 007.

    I think...like most fans...the concern is, ''What is Bond's Status once the Credits roll?'', not necessarily Lynch being 007....NTTD might be the first Bond film where fans are more concern about how Bond ends up at the end....instead his usual big confrontation with the Villian....one could say it's the continuity thing that led us here....if not, there won't be so much concern about how NTTD ends...but still, we all want it to end in a way that isn't polarizing.

    I personally have no problem with Lynch being OO7 in Bond's absence. I'd hope that when Bond returns his designation would be reinstated.

    This is all much ado about nothing. When they launch the new actor in B26 he’ll be James Bond 007. Whatever happens, this is a one film deal, he’s still Bond, so I couldn’t give a rats ass as long as it’s decent.

    Second that, no issues on this and it would make for a good initial twist for the general movie goer for Nomi to be 007. It’s driving me insane though seeing papers continuously saying Nomi is the new James Bond after NTTD.

    If she is already in this film with James Bond and her character name is Nomi, then how can that all change and her name turn out to be James Bond?!! C’mon !

    I think her character will be a good addition to the film and will play an important role throughout so I am looking forward to seeing how it all plays out but to be clear and like most others on here, DC is James Bond 007 and the star of the show and that is what is important although all the other parts of the jigsaw are key to making it a great film
