If Craig in Bond 25 look anything like DAF Connery, I'll have a genuine laugh out loud moment! :D
I am already laughing thinking about it lol.
Have to agree with @talos7 here.
Craig is very skilled in getting in shape for Bond.
That being said, I wouldn’t be adverse to a Bond who’d let himself go. Maybe due to the events after SP.
With the way Craig looks now, he can get into Bond shape in under 2 months and that's just if he were training by himself but with a team to help him in the same 2 months he could potentially be the fittest or at least look the bestche's ever been since being cast in the role.
It's a good thing Craig looks "terrible" right now because ivdont want to see Bond when he's playing another character. I want to see the particular character. There's no need for concern.
Good point. He'll be associated with the Bond character forever, so it can be a smart move to go for a different look in other films while he's still our current 007.
Talk of the devil.

That give new meaning of Batman Forever then..
If so, it would sort of mirror YOLT to OHMSS.
As much as I love Roger, I really don't think so.
I'm sorry, what? Another PC thing right there?
So Dracula without fangs? Klingons without the facial protrusions? What's going to happen to half the bad guys from the DC / Marvel universe?
Making villains looks scarred in order to make them look scary is a tactic that's as old as visual storytelling is. These scars are shorthand for "someone with a nasty past, something to feel uncomfortable around". In a sophisticated society, one doesn't shy away from those representations but instead teaches people that those of us unfortunate enough to have sustained facial injury aren't to be shunned in the same way that film villains are.
So what's next? No tats? No piercings? No long beards or long hair or dark skins or ...? Just lily-white, well-coiffed, beatific villains with neutral accents, no ornaments and so on?
Are we 5-year-olds?
How nauseating.
Even most 5 year olds would find this a tad perplexing, I'd say.
I quite agree, which is why I have been curious about what look he would adopt for Knives Out, given how close it was in filming (and possibly release) to B25. I would have expected more variation (like for example the eccentric old man thing he had going on a few weeks back) rather than just how he's been looking over the past few years (pretty much the same as always, but just older and fatter), which is what we seem to have now.
The variation from TGWTDT to SF was quite good imho. He was thinner and more frail in the earlier film, and fitter and bulkier in the Bond flick.
He's the only Bond to have played dashing Bond, chubby Bond and old Bond!
Haven't really followed the production of Knives Out, so I don't know what it's about – but I expect his look to mirror whatever sort of character he plays. Might be age, but I think he looks more different to his Bond look here than between TGWTDT and SF.
Controversial opinion perhaps, but a slightly slimmer Craig (closer to the TGWTDT look) would make him look more like Bond to me.
Next thing you know, they might retroactively censor existing films.
Then with the MPAA rating system giving more elbow room to filmmakers we got an array of R rated action films throughout the '70's, '80's and '90's.
Today it seems we're going backwards in terms of censorship for the sole purpose to not offend the PC audience.
Can't believe even his fans are overreacting this much.
No, not really. Incomplete could mean anything - they could be 85% done, they could be 90% done. They could be on the rewriting stage, and any writer/director worth his salt will claim it as being incomplete even when the structure is complete.
With a few months left to get it right, I don't think it's an issue.
As Tim Burton said, "A script is a blueprint. It's not the Bible." Who would use this best in life other him? Things should be ok. Hang on!
I will say this: if we don’t hear ANYTHING new about BOND 25 between now and the middle of January, then it’s pretty much guaranteed that BOND 25 will either get delayed AGAIN or it will disappoint.
Having said that, as of now I am very hopeful and can feel it in my bones that Cary will make the film truly special.
No it wont
1. Bring in best composer of Craig era which we could proudly say best after john Barry who could make bond exciting again Which last happened in TLD.
2. Bring in another writer into the fold who would take over P & W as the future bond writer. It will be the best way to try one now.
