Only if Blofeld is portrayed by Ed Sheeran.
I wish they would've gave him a chance to play an M who Bond just respects instead of always trying to cast Bond as a Rebel.
Yes, please. This whole friction between Bond and M has to take a break. I feel that Ralph Fiennes deserves a chance to be Sir Miles. Plus, sometimes I think EON was just as basis with Judi Dench as they were with Daniel Craig. I feel that SF was more of a tribute to Judi Dench then to her time as M. Enough with the "he's the best, but I'll never tell him" crap.
I hope so. There are still new directions to take his M. Not just tensions with Bond and others. Or making him a possible villain. Sir Miles next time, please. If Judi Dench is allowed to do it in a reboot so should Ralph Fiennes.
Glen Powell would be a great Felix. I think he might be too big of a name for EON, though. He's probably honestly getting bigger, if all goes right for him.
I hope so too. For Q and Moneypenny, I think it will be the case. For M, my gut feeling (for what it's worth) is telling me they'll keep Fiennes.
I think it would be interesting if they had a younger female Q, maybe an Asian actress. But then the question becomes what to do with Moneypenny. You could go the male assistant route they did in CR, which worked.
But I still think a sizable portion of the audience would be like, "Where's Moneypenny?" You can update her role like SF did, but the audience might still be looking for the person outside M's office. Maybe she's some sort of political appointee who over the course of her first film forges an alliance with M and decides to work with him as a civil servant instead? (I'm not sure if that would work; I don't have a great understanding of the British government.)
Or they could combine Q and Moneypenny into one character.
I think they'd just have a female Q and a Moneypenny. Make the Q/Bond relationship much more platonic and keep the good natured flirting/chemistry between Moneypenny and Bond. Essentially just make sure they're different and well defined characters.
Yes, let’s not combine characters together, please. As much as a lot of us want the MI6 regulars to have less screen time, that’s not the way to do it. It’ll be interesting to see what EON will do with the MI6 regulars now.
To be fair I think it was becoming apparent that all of them had other stuff going on outside of Bond. I'm not sure how committed Kinnear and Wishaw were to returning after Craig's run anyway (I know Fiennes seems up for it, as well as Harris, but I don't think either are going to lose any sleep over not doing so).
Yeah, sure. I don't necessarily mean them feeling like they're going to miss out. It's more of EON having slight regrets that they won't return, because of how things turned out with NTTD. Also, for me I would take Fiennes & Whishaw, if NTTD didn't end with Bond's death. I don't know if Daisy Ridley is too famous now, she would work as Moneypenny. Maybe Sam Claflin as Tanner, since his age isn't suitable for Bond anymore.
I think it's just one of things. I guess none were contracted for more beyond Craig's run anyway, and none are Desmond Llewellyn types at the end of their careers/necessarily as willing to take that long running role.
I'm going to guess Ridley's at a stage in her career where she's happier doing projects which interest her (I know Moneypenny isn't exactly a starring role but it's a big commitment and I don't know if it's something she'd even want to do). Depends on what they want to do with Tanner, but I like Clafin as an actor.
I dunno, I can see someone like Lucy Boynton as Moneypenny (very much a working actress who's recognisable at least to certain audiences/circles, but not super famous either). Maybe someone like Kingsley Ben-Adir as Tanner.
Yeah. Oh, good choices. Boynton, in particular.
I think James McAvoy would be a good M too.
Societal norms seems to be that bosses are to be mistrusted. That a boss is "The Man" and as such needs to be not treated with any loyalty but with a rebel feeling. I think people view someone who stands up to their boss as a kiss ass.
When I look at the Brosnan and Dench dynamic. It was interesting at the start that M didn't like Bond since he went with his gut and M went with her statistics and numbers. I really wish they had continued on this tack a bit and that they would both see their error and start to realize that they were both right. Instead by TND M seemed to be totally in Bond's corner. Did the GE adventure somehow convince her to not trust her statistics?
Bond and M at the start of the Craig era was a bit that he was in charge. Breaks into her house, her computer. Needs to be tagged since M doesn't trust him fully. Yet she is the one who promoted him? It all seemed non-sensical.
I can assure you that contrary to the garbage, unhealthy media, the vast majority of people have good relationship with their bosses.
It's no secret that media loves conflict and wants to promote that for eyeballs.
