According to former James Bond, George Lazenby, Robbie is the perfect choice for a female 007. With Daniel Craig's No Time to Die being his last Bond movie, Robbie might be just land the role for the next one.

In an interview with an international daily, George Lazenby said that it was a good idea to have a woman play 007 now. Also, he would rather see a woman than a man on screen playing Jane Bond. He further revealed that earlier he was listening to Margot Robbie on the television and he thought she would be perfect for James Bond's woman counterpart. 

Praising Margot Robbie, George Lazenby further added that she came across like someone who is "confident". According to him, if one can "pull that off", then the audience would believe it.
