Instead of reimagining Bond as a woman, Mirren believes that real-life female spies, who played pivotal roles in espionage history, deserve their own stories on screen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism,&#8221; she stated, further highlighting the significant contributions of women in intelligence.
