Lynch is not expected to replace Craig in the franchise. The latest news to come out of the Bond camp suggests that the switch is purely set up for the film’s events – and in fact when Bond meets her he tries his usual seduction tricks. The development reportedly comes from screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s contributions to the film’s screenplay.

In the new film, Bond is living a tranquil retirement life in Jamaica – one that’s interrupted when US agent Felix Leiter shows up and asks for help to rescue a kidnapped scientist which puts Bond on the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
