- A female "James Bond" is a divisive topic
- Actress Judi Dench gave her opinion
- She is "fine" with it but says it's complicated
It's a divisive topic in the "007" world: Could the agent ever be played by a woman? Everyone has their own opinion, and Dame Judi Dench has now shared her view.
Would Judi Dench support a female "James Bond"?
For the legendary actress, who played "M" in eight Bond films, the answer is a "yes, but..."
On the possibility of a female "007," Dench told Saga magazine: "As things go, that's fine, but then should you call it, 'by Ian Fleming'? Who knows."
As for playing the role herself, Dench hilariously replied: "Certainly not! I haven't got the energy to do all that jumping off roofs and onto motorbikes."

"007" fans are still waiting for the big news of who will take over from Daniel Craig. His last film No Time to Die premiered back in September.
