But it is, I’m afraid, an expected disappointment,” Cumberbatch told the PA News Agency (via Metro).‘We’ve come to know from those repressive regimes that their lack of tolerance is exclusionary to people who deserve to be not only included but celebrated for who they are, and made to feel a part of a society and a culture and not punished for their sexuality.’He went on to say the ban ‘feels truly out of step with everything that we’ve experienced as a species, let alone where we’re at globally as a culture,” and that including Chavez (who’s gay in the comics) “isn’t tokenism”.“We’ve included her because of how awesome she is as a character.

We only had one or maybe two shots with this [hippo] character.

I don’t see any other thought in Marvel or Bond movies.”Verhoeven shared his thoughts on what his own Bond film would look like, saying “I’d go back to reality” with “cars that don’t leap up into the sky.”The filmmaker went on to criticise No Time To Die for scrapping any intimate scenes between Bond, after praising the ones in Craig’s debut as 007 in Casino Royale.“There was always sex in Bond!” Verhoeven said.

GQ, the actor said he was worried about the future of productions that aren’t driven by director’s ideas.He said: “I get scared when things get less director-driven. I’m scared of streaming, I can’t stand the word content.“It starts to make me feel like we’re devising a world like Wall-E where people drink smoothies and just press play.
