I have no idea.
People have expectations with anything. Are you really that color blind? Hey I have a new movie idea - black panther starting Matt Damon..
Maybe call it White Panther and I’m in.
People were crapping their pants about Craig before the first one came out. Then they realized he was awesome at it, the script was decent, had a good director, etc.
He’s great. Most believable bad ###, more so than Connery. This new chick will be a bigger badass than Moore (and I liked Moore).
He was the 007 during my sweet spot (early teens). He had the smart ###, suave part down. The movies got so bad though.
I don't recall pants crapping, I do know Bond felt dead as a doornail at that point, like there was nothing left to do with this character. Craig is great, and I liked personally what they did with it, but it was a bit of a cheat to have the carryover movie to movie. I mean, a hardcore bond fan will love Skyfall but emotionally investing in M and things like the Aston Martin are a big cheat and not exactly fair to the franchise going forward because if you're going to do that with the universe, how do you top it?
I remember the tabloids making fun of Craig as the new Bond. Too boring, blond, no star power.
Lol “nothing left to do with this character.” Let’s try doing the same old thing.
You know there are. Did you happen to catch the outrage of the new Little Mermaid being black?The General said:Please tell me people are really upset about this
We live in a modern world, where the logical point of where you'd take Bond is now a third rail amongst financiers, in that they are so afraid of the Chinese market, you don't get much of them as a logical antagonist.

That was two movies ago (Skyfall). Last movie hasn't hit $880m yet. Neither of the two before them (both with Daniel Craig, one of which I still feel is the best Bond ever) topped $600m, though are both 10+ years old now. Anyway, average of last 4, with Craig, has been about $800m - seems like a nice round number. Go with that?
I haven't seen the movie, I haven't seen the script, I have no idea who the villain is but just like Capt Marvel a woman so flop. Oh wait.
Well Craig has made it pretty clear he is done playing Bond. I'm kind of surprised they actually got him to do one more. So a replacement is incoming. Introducing them in this movie would be a great way to pass the torch.
Maybe. But the story in the OP actually says very little while trying very hard to get a certain segment of people worked up.
No. 007 is definitely a specific character type. I think race is irrelevant as long as the nationality is British (obviously). It doesn’t work with a female though.
I am just passing a long what I thought read the plan was. I have seen a bunch of the movies, but I don't know what the mechanics of the double 0 world are.
Ok, so why couldn't he retire and his license be passed on to someone else? Or does he get to keep killing people in retirement?
He can. I think we saw a flashback in Skyfall to when he got his licence to kill and the 007 moniker. IIRC there are up to 12 00s
As the post right about yours said - it's an action movie, you can write around anything. I thought it would have been cool to have this character be Moneypenny, just as an agent. You can bring back Bond/007 anytime to help if she gets in a jam. Just odd to give her the 007 number rather than any other number. Have her in the same "film universe", just not the official "007".
As I remember the canon, there are up to 12 00s at any time and the numbers are reused
No it doesn’t. Agree race doesn’t matter. But needs to be British and a male. Sorry. Ticket sales will reflect this.
