    @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ - As one who says you are not necessarily a fan of Bond's womanizing, you can do without it, what then is your vision of women in a Bond film? What bothers you about Bond's womanizing?

    For me that aspect of his life is baked into the character. Though I don't share the same opinion as some who are troubled by the two often cited Connery scenes, I do understand their point. Clearly the films have evolved over time.

    What are you suggesting you'd like to see and why?

    Oh @CrabKey I don't think anything bothers me about Bond's womanizing. That's why I said I'm slightly worried that Bond's behavior in NTTD might be the new way Bond behaves from here on out. But guys like @007HallY & @mtm have made brilliant contributions on the subject matter.
    I do understand your opinion on Connery's Bond, though. I think that's subjective and actually a behavior of its time and also, not saying women aren't feminine these days, but they were more feminine back then, so it gave the males more reason to behave excessively dominant. For example, I can't imagine Ava Gardner from the golden era of Hollywood, not wanting someone like Victor Mature to tell her what to do. Maybe someone like Barbara Stanwyck was one of the tougher females back then, but even at that, she was still submissive to men...in some ways.
    As for the women in Bond films and even in today's other films, they're now the independent types, which is evolution. My point is, while it's good, it shouldn't affect Bond being in-charge of women. But at the same time, I think it should be done in a way that doesn't make Bond come off as a chauvinist.

    What about a Silva prequel?

    Please not Villeneuve. His films are sleep-inducing.

    A fine line. I doubt Bond films will ever escape being labeled as sexist and misogynist.

    I like it. But I’d prefer it as a book. Plus, I have some ideas written down on a modern day Alec Trevelyan origin story. Before he turns bad.

    I've been doing a bit of research into David Michod in the past few days, I watched the Rover which is a brilliant little film, and along with The King one of the best films I've seen recently. The more I think about it, the more it seems like Michod could be the perfect type of director EON would be looking for, especially after Babs' comments about taking risks and being bold in uncertain times. Michod has his own distinct voice and themes he explores, but unlike Nolan or Villeneuve has never really been given the freedom of working with a big budget on an established property. Essentially he would have all of the creative talent and vision for a Bond reboot, with a fraction of the pull to force EONs hand, and that's exactly how they like it. To be honest, in terms of pushing bond into new places and taking risks, I think Michod would be the boldest choice since Peter Hunt.

    I think while it's cool to speculate, it might be slightly unhealthy to delve too deep into thinking this or that guy is Bond 26's director. At the moment, it could be anyone. I guess, we just have to wait for an announcement from EON or get some incessant rumours at the very least that so, so guy is the director of Bond 26.
