The producer of the James Bond films has ruled out making the character female after Daniel Craig's departure.
No Time To Die, which will be released in April, marks Craig's final outing as 007, and his replacement has not yet been announced.
Producer Barbara Broccoli told Variety that James Bond can be of any colour, but he is male.
She says she believes they should be creating new characters for women - strong female characters adding she is not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it.

She says she thinks women are far more interesting than that.
