The Black Woman Who Will Be The Next 007

It was revealed earlier this year that Lashana Lynch will be the next agent to take on the role of 007 in the James Bond franchise.

And Lashana Lynch appeared to confirm the speculation as she was pictured on the set of the latest Bond film - No Time to Die - in Italy on Wednesday.

The actress, 31, who will now be known by Bond's old code name, looked every inch the MI6 agent as she donned a navy spy suit and wore a gun strapped to her leg.
