Oh bless, he looks so happy.
It would be a good meta comedy to have Craig in a film playing himself, Daniel Craig, who is an actor who plays James Bond, in one way or another thrust into an actual mission of international espionage and intrigue.
Like, because of his honourary Commander status, someone in the navy makes a typo somewhere and Craig is actually deployed on a mission... I don't know.
That would be fucking hilarious, pure gold. Daniel is a really good comedy actor, he is great in all the sketches I've seen him in. THIS MUST FUCKING HAPPEN if Bond 26 is going to take forever.
The beginning can have the standard gunbarrel, but then the director yells "CUT!" and it transitions to them just filming the gunbarrel for the latest Bond film and... take it from there. :P
I had a similar idea ages ago where Britain enters some conflict with another country, and something goes wrong with their military, and turns out there's some ancient clause somewhere (details shmetails) that forces all the celebrities they've knighted over the years like Sir Ian McKellan, Sir Elton John, Dame Judi Dench etc to have to suit up as actual knights and fight the war.
So basically a Bond version of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent?
I’m down for that 😂
I know he had his injury and couldn't train as often or as intensely as he normally does during SP. Such a shame we didn't get a film out in 2017/18.
I agree, he looked more than capable throughout his tenure.
Agreed as well.
I remember driving home after SP and saying to my girlfriend, "I think Daniel is done", given the ending, throwing the gun away and I thought in parts of the film he looked visibly older. So maybe he wanted to bow out before he got too old
The next day I saw the interviews from the premiere and saw how young and happy he looked, I thought wow he looks ready to do another two films at least.
I'll always wish we would have got the Blofeld trilogy to end the Craig era, I think they were setting that up. Shame about the injuries and delays
With the Craig era being a self contained entity, EON has the perfect opportunity to break with the “ one film at a time “ mold and carefully map out a story arc.
Ideally it would have concluded with a an epic showdown between Bond and Blofeld.
Yes, yes, and yes. Would have loved if they’d taken this route.
Yeah absolutely mate.
I thought in 2014 it would have been the perfect opportunity to map out an epic trilogy to end on. They didn't have to relate to the previous films, aside from maybe Spectre taking over Quantum. Or at a stretch have Mr White be Number 1 being the bridge to link them together.
Like @Creasy47 said I wished they'd kept in a drawer looking how it played out now in hindsight. The producers should have sat Daniel down and said we want to an epic Blofeld trilogy, but you need to sign up to 3 more films, if not we'll do a stand alone or wrap up Quantum instead.
That would've improved upon SP heavily for me, not just Hinx returning for one last, nasty fight but particularly that luxurious crater setting the stage for the finale. We should've gotten a DN-like dinner sequence or something that let us enjoy the interiors a bit more too. That London finale is so incredibly weak to me and holds virtually no excitement or intrigue.
