All of which returns us to the question of why have Nomi give it up, and where do they go from here with Lynch’s exceedingly formidable 00 agent? In the theater, I was by then speculating Bond wouldn’t make it out of this mission alive, so perhaps it was a bit of misdirection-if Bond is 007 again, then surely they wouldn’t kill him off, right? And yet, by the time the credits rolled, Bond was dead and the 007 codename was once more vacant. Hence why it seemed somewhat inexplicable when she volunteered to surrender the number to Bond before their third act invasion of a supervillain’s island, even as Bond had already heartily agreed to start calling her 007. You might be back, but I’m not going to rollover just because of your legacy. If handled in a different era, or by different actors, this all might’ve played as antagonistic or unlikable, but in the case of the dynamic between Lynch and Daniel Craig, and in director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s hands, it was deeply entertaining. She even delighted in the way everyone at MI6 called her by that title in front of old man James Bond. Before that third act moment, she’d made a point of fiercely carving out the designation as her territory. It was a surprise when Nomi, the new and chic MI6 agent played by Lashana Lynch, surrendered her 007 codename in No Time to Die. This article contains major No Time to Die spoilers.
