No, Nomi is different from every single other
00 agent because she is everything
that I see within women, she has agency, she has a voice within her workspace.
She is not viewed as the black woman.
She's viewed as a 00 agent.
Her strength is palpable.
Her vulnerability is helpful.
She has a really nice balance that really makes her relatable
to young women, especially.
Oh, it was wonderful to work with Daniel [Craig] because I got to witness
how someone becomes the head of a franchise, you know, how
how you run it, how you stay cool with it, how you work hard, how you accept
what things are, accept changes. He he really.
He was great to just to be a sponge around,
because as an actor, you you don't always get to work with actors
who are giving you 100 percent all of the time.
And he gives 100 percent so much that I was able to do my best work.
So in turn, I'm I'm grateful to have been able to be surrounded
by his energy, by the cost energy, by the energy just in Pinewood Studios
and the locations alone to be able to put a stamp on such a longstanding franchise.
The training for no time to die
was vigorous, very vigorous.
We ran from everything from Wushu
to boxing to different types of footwork that I can't even pinpoint
in my mind to different types of weaponry.
It was it was everything under the sun that prepared me for
for every eventuality and
and enabled me to portray Nomi that was
that was careful and slick
and witty, but sharp and lethal,
but also really collected and wanted that to be completely calm.
And because I was so well prepared, I
then was able to make Nomi really well prepared.
Oh, it's it's a lot of things wrapped in one.
It's an ode to old cinema, classic cinema, classic Bond films.
It's shot on film.
And that's shooting on film is the most luxury that I think
I've ever experienced in my career.
I dunno, it's it's it's a lot of genres.
And one is comedy.
There's action, there's romance. There's huge.
Just the human the wittiness in the writing and the moments
that we create in that I knew were going to create cinema history when I shot it.
But now, watching the movie, I really see I really see why
these these nuanced decisions were even made, because
it stands out and is probably, I think, going to going to go down
as one of the best Bond movies in history.
Well, it feels like I've had a friend
that I've been trying to introduce to my other friends for a very long time.
Like you must meet this friend. They're great.
And then suddenly, after two years, I get to introduce
this creation that makes me really proud
of being involved, being able to contribute so much to the film
. Know me being who she
is and getting to experience
it worldwide with everyone in the cinema,
you know, really experiencing the film in the way that it deserves,
and being able to congratulate and applaud everyone that worked so tirelessly
on making film history.
