As for the comparisons with Wolverine, the film Logan dealt a lot with the phenomenon of superhuman abilities and lack of social abilities. What happens if this guy who cannot die gets old and loses his powers? He never had real Friends in life, how is he going to cope?
The James Bond I know from films and books is a social human being. He doesn´t have the Problem of losing his superhuman abilities, and he is too clever to be too lonely in his old age. So what would be the use of killing him off?
At all, trying to be shocking usually is merely an excuse for not getting a grip on a tight movie.
Inspired by Obelix?
Cool commercial, but a damn ugly watch.
Even worse, people will claim the codename theory is canon :(
But really, what's the point in killing Bond if he returns in the next one? I know Craig's continuity is self-contained etc. etc. but I still don't get why you would kill him in first place.
Honestly I would be surprised if they even made it. Still, Spielberg said he won't
Of course! How could I miss that!

+1.
The commercial gave me Thunderball vibes.
Why kill Bond off in the film that follows the second longest gap in the series' history, unless it were intended to end the franchise. I believe Universal only signed on for this one film. After B25 there may have to be another distribution deal for future outings. I'd consider it extremely lucky if there's a film for 2022, unless Universal opt for more Bonds once this one gets underway.
I think a cliff hanger ending would only work if the films were indeed coming out on a regular schedule and not produced whenever Eon gets around to it. I just can't see the Craig era ending on a cliffhanger (say akin to the FRWL novel), then 4 years later Bond comes back in a new film and timeline with another actor.
Could we all get back to the Fukunaga train? And off the thin rumour mill for a bit?
Anyone seen Maniac? Mind bending or what?
Cool ad, but how much is the rope going for?
What if that’s how Bond dies? He drowns! :D
:) Like his beloved. Nah, this all dying angle is getting tiresome. What can we discuss from here to March that doesn't involve some hypothetical long shot? Maybe the merits of the director? The possibility of some crew members being brought in? The composer? Anything?
Nope. It's a metaphor for Craig's film career post-Bond.
I take it he is not to your liking? And yes, I know his choices have been very, very poor, but you're quite the negativist @Escalus5. You don't like Fukunaga, right? You probably don't like Craig. So, maybe this one (B25) is not for you (?) I don't know, swimming against the current much? Still, all good, cheers for the all the "realist" (philosophically you'd be a negativist) ;) inputs. Say, is there anything to your liking in all of this pre production rumble? Just curious. Oh, and my bad if I'm wrong. If so, my apologies. Again, cheers.
It is a little odd that there will have been a 5-year gap (not technically quite that much, but 2015-2020 still looks pretty big) with the same Bond actor in place from the last film. I still want Craig to get his last Bond film, but I do hope they are already beginning to look into who can replace him so we don’t have to wait a long time for Bond 26.
How old will Craig be in 2020? Actually that's fine, he'll be a seasoned agent in top form, which is something we haven't had in the series, well, not in top form anyway.

Yes...?
Bottom line - Bond DOES NOT die. James Bond will return....
Even if it was the last film in the series Bond should NOT die. Sorry but my heroes don’t die. That’s the whole point of the series - that Bond prevails against all odds. Only Father Time can take him (and I don’t need to see that either).
As much as I like Craig’s Bond, I do hope his fifth is his last. I think going past that, especially with how delays have been in his time as Bond, is pushing a bit too far.
In the same boat. Love that he will get a fifth - only the third Bond actor to do it! But going past that is definitely too far.
