Lashana talked about making her Bond character a real woman, in many ways. She spoke with Rebecca Ford from THR.
“We had one conversation about her maybe being on her period in one scene, and maybe at the beginning of the scene — and I spoke to Cary about this — throwing her tampon in the thing.”
Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a big part in this script. Ana de Armas’ character was written specifically for her in a Cuba-set storyline. Lashana Lynch has been taking those 007 haters in stride.
