True, we might see EON wanting to go back to shorter gaps between each film, seeing as this era has been very drawn out (obviously with other factors contributing to the gaps).
We're in for an interesting wait between NTTD and Bond 26, that's for sure. Who will be the next Bond, how is the situation around EON/MGM, etc. I guess a 2024 date is possible, but I wouldn't count on it happening that soon though.
I think a lot of the backlash on EON makes it seem like they've planned for everything that's happened. I don't think so at all. It doesn't really matter what the producers did tbh, MGM went bankrupt, the Sony script leaks, creative differences with one director they've worked with, and now a widespread virus that has shutdown cinemas, which means they'd lose a lot of money if they didn't delay.
Any kind of producer or work ethic can't prevent a lot of these problems, as they're almost situational and unpredictable in EON's case apart from what happened with Danny Boyle, but again we don't know what happened there, for sure, I don't care what any "leak" says. Hoping for more films and quicker is pointless because no-one can predict what will happen with a film.
Also my strong belief is that James Bond will remain a family business, and I'm sure plenty of people know that trying to turn The Rhythm Section into a new franchise and getting rid of Bond is a bad idea, including Barbara.
There have been extenuating circumstances in the gaps during the Craig era. If all the gaps had been as intended Craig's era would like this (in this hypothesis each gap going from hypothetical previous release date):
CR - Nov 2006
QoS - May 2008
SF - Oct 2011
SP- Oct 2013
NTTD - Oct 2017
Still wouldn't be my number one choice, but he's comfortably my second.
No.
Thank you, my mind has been firmly changed because of that detailed analysis.
Can't help but agree with every word of this assessment. He looks like he's making that face because his mum isn't upping his allowance.
I just saw a clip of Sope Dirisu on Twitter promoting his new show...damn, this guy has screen presence. If Eon don't go with Jamie Dornan, I'd be very keen on them brining an actor of a different ethnicity. something I've made known on these boards. Check out this new clip, it may change some minds:
I think Dirisu could well be on the verge of a breakout role with Gangs of London. I think the 'next Bond' rumours are bound to start very soon. The show debuts later this month on Sky in the UK. He;s already being asked questions about being the next Bond.........watch this space
Another young ethic actor I've recently discovered - who has scored no less than role in Steve McQueen's next project - is Gershwyn Eustache/u]. He certainly has the look. I'd wait till I see him in that show before I make an decision. But I could see him as Bond.
I'd love to do a straw poll on these boards just to see where people fall in the ethnic Bond question...
Too old already, but looking too young in an immature way.
Agreed

Since i have seen that footage of that christmas movie, with a very Lazenby look humor and doubt.
It look like somebody ele's have this idea earlier https://www.8days.sg/sceneandheard/entertainment/henry-golding-to-replace-daniel-craig-as-james-bond-11277380

Fair enough. But to me, the positive way of looking at that would be that he would age well. He's only 40. And he can act. I found him very convincing in the show mentioned above. My only other exposure to him was his performance Control, which was also good albeit an entirely different beast.
Hah I'd actually be quite into this. Great look. Tattoos aren't an issue, Craig has many as well. Fix it in post.
Concur with this. He was quite alright in The Gentlemen.
How about 'The Tanaka Chronicles'? The young years of Tiger Tanaka in the Japenese secret service, anyone? Could be excellent on Netflix.
What an absolutely wonderful idea for a series. I'd love Netflix to bag Bond. They could do spinoffs and give us a film every couple of years. EoN seem to have reached an impasse.
I'm sure he can act, but he's not only 40: he's already 40. Bond 26 will not start shooting this year or the next. Theoretically Craig is still Bond. By the time his successor is chosen actors who are now in their early forties will probably be over 45. Yes, yes, Moore was 45, but in a very different time for cinema and the Bond franchise.
Conceded, @Ludovico. Good points, well made.

Why not just use the team they have now?
