Ben Whishaw found revelation of Q’s sexuality “unsatisfying” in No Time To Die
Ben Whishaw revealed how he felt about the subtle confirmation of his character Q’s sexuality in No Time To Die. In Daniel Craig’s final film as the iconic Bond, fan favourite Q (Ben Whishaw) returns to assist the former spy on his latest mission.
Whishaw, who is gay, first played Q (standing for Quartermaster) in 2012’s Skyfall after the beloved character was absent for a few of the franchise’s movies.
In No Time To Die, Q’s sexuality appears to finally be confirmed after years of speculation from fans. During a scene at Q’s home, Bond and Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) show up to ask for help in meeting Ernst Stavro Blofeld who is in prison.
Q is flustered by their arrival as he is in the middle of preparing a meal for his date, who is a man. “He’ll be here in 20 minutes,” he tells Bond and Moneypenny as he explains why he can’t help them at that moment.
