Bond 25 hasnt had the easiest run so far what with Danny Boyle quitting as director weeks before production was due to begin and the 2019 release date later getting pushed back.

Not to mention the ongoing criticism of women in the Bond films.

But producer Barbara Broccoli has laughed off fan worries, asking Metro.co.uk concerned about what? when queried about the difficulties the production has come under.

No, its film making, she added, suggested that there is nothing to be worried about and unlike Bonds martini, nothing is shaken nor stirred.

Were very excited about Bond and cant wait, she added.

Boyle confirmed he was no longer at the help of the latest James Bond after allegedly hitting a wall of creative differences on the project.

His stepping down was announced on Twitter on the official James Bond account. The tweet said: Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25.

Outspoken producer Barbara recently admitted that it was unlikely Daniel Craigs successor as the British spy would be a woman, a decision some film fans have been calling on Bond bosses to consider for years.

Bond is male. Hes a male character. He was written as a male and I think hell probably stay as a male, she said.

And thats fine. We dont have to turn male characters into women. Lets just create more female characters and make the story fit those female characters.
