Q actor Ben Whishaw has reacted to his character’s "unsatisfying" sexuality reveal in No Time to Die.
"I’m very happy to admit maybe some things were not great about that [creative] decision," Whishaw told The Guardian of the moment which saw Daniel Craig’s James Bond and Naomie Harris’ Moneypenny intrude on MI6’s quartermaster busily preparing for a date with his boyfriend.
Expanding further, Whishaw said, "I think I thought, ‘Are we doing this, and then doing nothing with it?’ I remember, perhaps, feeling that was unsatisfying," but he added that "it came from a good place."
"For whatever reason, I didn’t pick it apart with anybody on the film," Whishaw said. "Maybe on another kind of project I would have done? But it’s a very big machine. I thought a lot about whether I should question it. Finally I didn’t. I accepted this was what was written. And I said the lines. And it is what it is."
"I feel like I needed to end what I did on it. I would be only satisfied if I could walk away and there was nowhere else for that to go, that someone else would have to come along and invent something completely different."
