James Bond: Lashana Lynch completely OMITTED from Russian No Time To Die trailer – WATCH

Additionally, Lynch’s spy gets a scene in an aircraft with Bond in both the Super Bowl and Oscars TV spots which were 30 seconds in length.

No Time To Die is produced by EON Productions and MGM, but Universal Pictures hold the international distribution rights for the film.

Prior to publication Express.co.uk contacted Universal Pictures about the allegations that the Russian version of the No Time to Die trailer had been ‘whitened’ and that Lynch had been omitted. We have not received a response. 

Last year, the 32-year-old star spoke out on the negative reaction to the rumour that she, as a black woman, was taking over the 007 mantle from a white male James Bond.
