James Bond’s Sexuality Is None of Luca Guadagnino’s Business

As a longtime aficionado of the silver screen, I must say that Daniel Craig’s versatility as an actor never ceases to amaze me. His portrayal of a gay character in Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film ‘Queer’ is yet another testament to his acting prowess. However, when it comes to James Bond, the iconic secret agent, the question of his sexual orientation seems like a trivial matter.


In a future project titled “Queer,” directed by Luca Guadagnino, Daniel Craig will portray a gay character. This isn’t unfamiliar territory for Craig. However, the idea of Bond himself being gay is not something for Guadagnino to decide. At the Venice Film Festival press conference for “Queer” on September 3rd, when a reporter brought up the topic of a “gay James Bond,” Guadagnino interjected, asking for some maturity in the discussion. He didn’t scold the reporter; he just wanted to ensure we were thinking about the international secret agent. According to Guadagnino, it’s impossible to know Bond’s desires. What matters is that he completes his missions effectively. Such wisdom suggests that Guadagnino would make a fitting director for a Bond film.
