A black M could work well and David Harewood would be an excellent choice. Just the right age at 55 and a great speaking voice and authority.
I would also throw Hugh Quarshie into the mix, although older at 66 he is a fine actor.
I want to see him return to the franchise as M.
This I would love!
It would be equally cool if he was the character from the Dynamite comics. Imagine Salmon's M in, say, Solstice, and that end scene in Trafalgar square.
Insofar as that ever was a functioning timeline, I do think that is what they will go back to. But in the way they used to do it: Without ever outright acknowledging any most of the continuity. It would be like the unanswerable question whether Admiral Hargreaves took over as M, or Robert Brown played the same person as Bernard Lee did, or Brown's M is an altogether different character.
It would be an interesting experiment and really one they should try, whether audiences could take such a loose timeline where later films pick up some things from the previous ones and totally ignore others. And I think most audience members would be fine with it, because the don't really give a damn, either way.
Why not? We've the same M for different Bonds and Lois Maxwell had 3 different Bonds to play against! Bond is a fictional character, and we can easily suspend disbelief that it's still (kind of) the same Bond? They could even have a quip about his last mission nearly killing him. That's all it would take and back to business as usual.
Yes, yes, and more yes.
"Middle name" does start with an M.
I wonder if this is a requirement in the job description?
-Surname must begin with an M.
Moneypenny: Phoebe Fox or Nathalie Emmanuel
Q: if they're going to stick with the young Q idea, then Alex Lawther would have a similar vibe to Ben Whishaw.
A lot of good ideas here, Olivia Williams in particular. It would be interesting to see a younger M/political appointment finding her way.
But I'd love Colin to come in as M, sure. And no I certainly hope it does NOT mean reverting in any way to Brosnan's era, or any other era. Just make it fresh.
Q - Himesh Patel
Moneypenny - Eliza Butterworth
