Well, apparently Robert Wade is a member of the WGA, and purvis wouldn't continue on the script while his partner strikes, so I'm going to say yes until we hear otherwise.
Wade is:
And likely, as goes Burt, so goes Ernie.
Well that's unfortunate. thnx
But that cant happen.
Haines has been exposed back in 2008 in QOS,he wont be any kind of envoy to anyone now...he is probably either dead,rotting in jail or back in the arms of SPECTRE.
He can be in BOND25 sure,and play a big part,but not as a Government big-wig,or a Government anything.
It's hard to tell, as it's left in the air. Bond and a few in the higher levels of MI6 know who Haines is connected to, but we also saw how corrupt the governments of the west were too, and how far they were willing to go to help their own. If the PM had SPECTRE connections or could be threatened, manipulated or coaxed, Haines wouldn't be going anywhere. SPECTRE's power could reach so high, he was as kept in play and protected via his powerful associates. M is small fry in comparison to that, especially when you see how powerless Mallory was to stop a simple merger. The 00 program are just foot soldiers, the ones that get thrown into the flame to keep it burning. They are at the whim of their government through and through, and that's bad news if that system is corrupted by SPECTRE.
Sure.
Care to debate?
I agree with your comments.
That's a fair point Brady,especially re Mallory's helplessness later.
The thing is I think Haines knew he was known,and the last thing he would have done would have gone back to work as usual,as MI6 did have photographic and computer evidence of Haines.
I think to have Haines back in Government would be pushing it ...
Maybe. But maybe Haines has some leverage on people in places of power that enables him to continue in hisw position of power. But on the other hand it probably wouldn't work actually. I mean it's a bit old hat all that kind of thing. Terrible. No maybe I wouldn't go that far, but moles in 24 and in Bond - just too much.
Exactly...and there is also the problem of explaining all this on screen to make it plausible to the cinema-going public.
Very difficult,for those film enthusiasts who,although not Bond fans,probably would have re-watched the Craig films before seeing BOND25 to refresh the story,therefore knowing who Haines is and what he is .
If Haines comes back ,It has to be as a SPECTRE numbered leader.
It would have meant making Denbigh more Mallory's age and someone from his past he trusts, most likely from his SAS days and someone like Gareth who has rose up through the ranks of government.
You could have used him to help to tie the films together much more convincingly and what we got, the irony as he was a P&W character they could have used their existing creations but instead they just cobbled together what we got.
I'd prefer that, too, and am not looking forward to having them back, either.
But he was just there as Hinx. He didn't say anything, he didn't have any notable presence or character to speak of, he wasn't memorable in the slightest. He just had that one amazing fight with Craig. But then again, so did the guy who played Slate in QOS.
I'd be very okay with Hinx not popping up again unless they really do something to give the character personality. It's not at all like bringing the iconic Jaws back for Moonraker. It'd be a bit more like bringing Necros back for Licence to Kill. Yeah, he had a great fight scene, two of 'em, and...?
Me, I would have a flashback of him landing in a plane underneath, one that belongs to SPECTRE who are behind it all, and who have cameras in the sky even in 1989.

Don't be silly. Afghanistan has circuses, too. Easy peasy, done and done.
Hinx could easily survive the barrel pull from the train....Necros falling from a Hercules is a dead man.
To be fair, Bautista's neck is the circumference of a young redwood.
