Naomie Harris Says She’s the “Weak Link” Who ‘James Bond’ Producers Can’t Trust With Spoilers

As a die-hard Bond fan who has followed Naomie Harris‘ remarkable journey as Eve Moneypenny, I must confess that her absence from the James Bond universe feels like a piece of my own cinematic history has been snatched away. The camaraderie she shared with Daniel Craig’s 007 was not just electrifying on screen but also left an indelible mark in our collective hearts.


Naomie Harris openly shared that James Bond producers usually keep her in the dark about future installments because she struggles to maintain secrecy regarding spoilers.

The actress who was nominated for an Oscar and appeared in three films of the well-known spy series shared during an interview on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show that although she yearns to return to the world of James Bond, she remains clueless about the franchise’s upcoming plans.

“Harris admitted he’s clueless about the future course of events. He doesn’t know where they’re heading or which way they’re going. In truth, he has no inkling at all, and he’s grateful for that lack of knowledge because if he knew something, he might accidentally reveal it, so no one shares information with him.”

The actress from “Moonlight” expressed her belief that the producers consider her as a potential weakness due to her lack of knowledge about project details, which she finds unfortunate.

In the films Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015), and No Time to Die (2021), Harris portrayed Eve Moneypenny, who acted alongside Daniel Craig’s James Bond character.

“Harris expressed that she will greatly miss her time there, explaining that as an actress in this line of work, one often feels like a nomad, traveling alone. But for the first time, she found a sense of stability returning to Pinewood Studios regularly and working with the same team. This feeling of continuity was something she cherished, and now without it, she admits she feels a bit disoriented.”

There’s not much information available about what lies ahead for the 007 franchise, with a new actor stepping into the role previously held by Daniel Craig. Last year, producer Barbara Broccoli shared with The Guardian that the team hasn’t started updating the franchise just yet, as they believe it’s crucial for the main character to mirror the evolving world around us.

Back then, I expressed my thoughts by saying, “I believe these films mirror their respective eras, and there’s an immense journey ahead as we reimagine them for the future.”
