Title James Bond’s ethnicity might change – but his accent probably won’t Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 2/11/22 Description The cinematic character of James Bond has changed with the times since the first Bond film Dr No was released back in 1962. We have seen Bond as a chauvinistic womaniser, a fun-loving bon vivant, and, more recently, a sometimes brutal yet three-dimensional character, capable of empathy and sorrow.
Most obviously, the face of Bond has changed over the years, with six actors – seven if you include David Niven in the first Casino Royale – playing the coveted role. All these actors have been white – leading to discussion over whether a future Bond could be another ethnicity. However, while Bond’s race or even gender might change in the future, there is one aspect of his portrayal that I believe will be unlikely to shift: his accent.URL https://theconversation.com/james-bonds-ethnicity-might-change-but-his-accent-probably-wont-193176 Persons Alexander Baratta
