The film has been labelled the Bond movie for the ''Me Too'' era. It has been said by a key cast member that it is the female characters which drive this movie's story. Producer Barbara Broccoli was asked about the 'Me Too' movement at the 'Bond 25' launch event where she said that James Bond's attitude towards women would move with the times and the films should reflect that. Co-screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge has said "the important thing is that the film treats the women properly". In the history of Bond movies, often at least one female character, nick-named a 'Bond Girl', would be a sacrificial lamb, and be killed off around the time of the end of the first act. This even happened in the first three Daniel Craig Bond movies (viz Solange, Strawberry Fields and Severine respectively). However, this has not been the case with the last two Daniel Craig Bond movies 'Spectre' (2015) and 'No Time to Die' (2021). Lashana Lynch, who plays Nomi, has said: ''[Director] Cary [Joji Fukunaga] had big discussions with Barbara [Broccoli] and Daniel [Craig] about how to give the female characters equity, how to keep them in charge of themselves, how to give them solo moments where the audience learns who they are." Director Cary Joji Fukunaga has said: "I think that's the expectation, a female writing very strong female roles, but that's something Barbara [Broccoli] wanted already," he said. "From my very first conversations with [Barbara Broccoli], that was a very strong drive. You can't change Bond overnight into a different person. But you can definitely change the world around him and the way he has to function in that world. It's a story about a white man as a spy in this world, but you have to be willing to lean in and do the work to make the female characters more than just contrivances." In the film, of the major characters, only the male characters get killed: Felix Leiter, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Lyutsifer Safin and James Bond. Surviving women in the film are Nomi, Paloma, Mathilde, Moneypenny and Madeleine. The only key female character who gets killed is Madeleine's mother in the back-story during the opening sequence.
