Mathilde Swann is the fictional daughter of Madeleine Swann and James Bond. Portrayed by child actress, Lisa-Dorah Sonnet, the character appeared in the 2021 James Bond film, No Time To Die . While on their vacation in Matera, Madeleine Swann constantly alludes to her secrets that she intends to tell James Bond.
She is also the daughter of the mysterious SPECTRE member Mr. White and the lover of Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6) operative James Bond. A major recurring character portrayed by French actress, Léa Seydoux, she first appeared in the 2015 film, Spectre, and returned in its 2021 sequel, No Time to Die .
Despite the seemingly clear resemblance between Bond and Mathilde, Madeleine initially denies that she really is his daughter. Although this might initially seem confusing, there are several reasons why this approach actually makes perfect sense.
Why does Bond stay behind in Project Heracles?
Swann and Mathilde flee to safety, while Bond stays behind to ensure that Project Heracles is destroyed once and for all. He notices Mathilde’s stuff toy lying on the ground and puts it into his belt. He then realizes that the base’s doors are closing yet again, forcing him to make his way back to the control room. Safin then attacks him, smashing the vial with nanobots coded with Madeleine’s DNA upon Bond’s face. Bond kills Safin in return, then calls Madeleine, who confirms that Mathilde is indeed is daughter. Unfortunately, Safin’s attack means that he can never see either of them again. He remains behind as the base is destroyed by missiles and is killed. Afterwards, Madeleine tells Mathilde the truth of her parentage.
They escape into a forest, but despite Bond’s best efforts, Mathilde and Swann are captured by Lyutsifer Safin, the ringleader of the conspiracy. Safin takes the two of them to his base of operations, an old World War II base, and introduces Mathilde to his garden of poisonous plants. He then separates the two, holding Mathilde as a hostage and claiming that he will raise her as his own.
