@jake24 you think they expected Moore to do the Living Daylights?

If I were to guess, I'd say there won't be anything special. They will keep it open ended, as they did SP. The trajectory of the Craig era has been increasingly towards the Bond from the past, and I can't see why they would change that up as they transition towards his successor.
That's how I see it,and I think it will be the case.
I can only think of the interview he did on the set of YOLT when he told the interviewer that this was his last Bond film. Effectively he had quit.
I just realized, Connery is ironically the only Bond to have only lived twice. In fact, he lived three times!
If done well, the same could apply to DC's era.
PS how about an additional scene after the credits so DC can still end in the classic style (in the arms of a gorgeous girl) but then a little bonus after the credits?
True and the same thing could be said about Lazenby.
I was about to make a similar suggestion.
Better still, he writes a novel about a bumbling spy named Johnny English.
The cinema will go wild.
I Iike the idea but sadly it won't happen. Better still let me contribute to it rather than having drink bond should walk into a casino and all of them playing poker
The only thing I would change is that I wouldn't have Roger sitting at the table. Instead, I would have him would drive by in his bondola, prompting Dalton to pull a Victor Tourjansky and causing Lazenby to get his drink spilled all over him, to the amusement of Brosnan. A fistfight between Brozza and Laz would break out. Then Connery would beat the crap out of everybody and leave the place mumbling something about Cubby and Harry having ripped him off.
"Well, that was it. For now. See you in Bond 26: Blofeld's Revenge."
How about a play on Connery's first scene from DN, with Bond playing baccarat. He exchanges witty banter with someone at the table (whether flirty or not can depend on Madeleine's fate) including the "Bond, James Bond" line, when he's approached by a casino employee who tells him there is someone looking for him. Bond looks over his shoulder to see a nervous Tanner trying to get his attention from the lobby, then excuses himself as Connery did, "I must pass the shoe. I hope you'll forgive me, but it's most important."
A reversion of the DN scene was basically used in CR and SF:
Basically, it's been done. The nostalgia tank is almost empty.
I'm still fairly certain the idea is to kill Bond off. I'm very certain in fact. The most recent rumour in the tabloids is that Bond is poisoned but before dying gets to kill Malek.
The final scene should just be Bond lying ambiguously waiting to die. I keep thinking about the end of Layer Cake and how provocative that final image is.
In hindsight it's hilarious as Q kills 007:
I think we'll be able to guess once we get a trailer, which should tell us whether or not the rumours of there being a new 007 turn out to be true. Because I can't see them ending the film with Bond going back into retirement again, we've already been there and done that. But equally, they definitely won't make him losing his number a permanent thing. Even if there's a new 007 in this film, it'll be a one off, and that means an ending with Bond coming back to active service wouldn't work. Unless of course she dies, or quits, or turns out to be a villain, leaving the number available for Bond again. But I think that's unlikely. I think if that is the route they're taking, the angle will be a mentor/student sort of thing with her and Bond. Which would make him dying a much more likely option imo. Him coming back will prove that retirement isn't an option for him, so killing him off after he passes the torch (in the Craig universe, followed by a reboot obviously) seems fairly likely to me.
I'm surprised about how conservative some fans seem to be about these rumours too. We know that it won't have any bearing on the series. If Bond dies, he'll only be dead until they reboot with a new actor. Same if he has been replaced by a new 007, it's only for the sake of one story, not a permanent thing. So I don't mind at all personally as long as this film is followed by a reboot. I'd prefer the Craig era to be its own closed off thing anyway because it's already so different. I mean, Blofeld is pretty much his brother in CraigBond's world. That's not a timeline I want them to stay in going forward.
