    If Famke Janssen was the same age as Lynch now and had Lynch's role in NTTD, I think she might have been given a chance. Coz firstly, Janssen is Beautiful. Even the toughest Bond girls were eye candies. Lynch doesn't have the typical Bond girl look just like Jones in AVTAK...but Jones was accepted coz she played a villain which was perfect for her Saturnine looks. Coz am sure people wouldn't have accepted Jones as a 00 agent. Am not a fan of Lynch as a 00 agent or 007 yet. But the movie has to be seen so we know why they picked Lynch.

    I thought she was very charismatic in Captain Marvel. Which seems reason enough.

    Who thinks Safin is being set up as a Bane-like red herring? The real villain turns out to be Blofeld who was simply using him to hatch his master of a master plan? On one hand it may diminish Safin, but on the other hand it makes Blofeld glitter as the final boss of the craig verse. Because otherwise it feels a bit nutty that the biggest bad of the Craig tenure is not blofeld but .....some guy when we were told Blofeld was the 'author of all Bond's pain".

    Heh! It would be quite funny if all of that commando stuff getting into Safin’s lair was in the first half of the movie and Bond just quickly shoots him dead, leaving Blofeld as the real villain of the piece! :D

    It's possible that she plays a villain. Fukunuga seems to be a fan of AVTAK so maybe it will be revealed troughout the movie that she is a close (and badass) ally to Safin just like May Day was for Zorin.

    Exactly, my thoughts too....True, Fukunaga is a fan of AVTAK and Duran Duran's theme as well. Am sure when a Director enters the World of Bond, they have their favourite Bond film in mind when Directing a Bond film.

    No, don't buy that theory at all - firstly its too obvious and has been done before (Frost in DAD for example) and I think such a move would devalue her character and her combative relationship with Bond. She's a 00 (poss 007) and she's a bloody good agent, a true challenge to Bond, and just turning her bad would undermine that completely. Not going to happen.

    Yeah, not saying it's certain to happen.... it's just a thought based on Fukunaga being fond of AVTAK & noticing that the last time a somewhat masculine female appeared in a Bond film was in AVTAK. She could be good, she could be bad. But we trust Fukunaga to handle it properly....whatever direction he chooses to go with it.

    As @ColonelSun said— it’s more worthy of her character to actually be a strong Double-0 who’s on the “right side” rather than making her a turncoat (which seems a little too on the nose and cartoonish).

    There are three leading Bond girls in this one so it's very possible that one of them is a villain.

    Exactly....they can't all be good. But anyhow Fukunaga wants it, am certain....he'll make it more intricate.

    Or maybe Blofeld is actually a woman turned into a man with the help of Mad Safin's technology. ;)

    They already have that her name is Madeline Swann, sure she didn't betray bond intentionally but first scene of trailer clearly suggest when she said "why would I betray you". To make Nomi Villian would be same thing happen in Fallout with walker which won't happen because it's too obvious.

    Sure, am not bent on it happening....but if it does happen, it's not going to be done in a cheesy way, not with a Director like Fukunaga at the Helm.

    @Contraband I thought you confirmed earlier for us that she is...
    Spoiler
    Madeleine.

    Or are you talking about her REAL name? LOL

    Halle Berry looks more athletic than Lashana Lynch even now at more than 50 years of age.

    Does she? I can't see her handling a gun. I couldn't in DAD, I can't now.

    Indeed it seems to be. Highly doubt it's from the new OST, though, as it's unlikely Romer's recorded anything yet with a live orchestra. Quite possible that temp tracks have been created electronically, though -- this does sound a bit like that.

    Regardless, one certainly wonders. EON aren't in the habit of using random Bond theme samples for marketing videos. Almost always "The Names Bond, James Bond" or one of the commissioned trailer pieces.

    Unless this is a sampling of a fan remix, in the spirit of it being...a fan 'remix' contest.

    Am excited about NTTD....but am eager to see the next Bond actor. Really eager to see what direction the franchise takes next. Maybe focusing more on Bond's Military Adventures & Serious Spying would be a good take.

    Of course she does. It's not even debatable.

    Would love to see some videos akin to the ones for John Wick for our Bond stars. Their training is undeniably tough, too. These little glimpses into the preparation are extremely exciting, whether it be weapons handling or working with their stunt doubles and choreographers. Really cool.

    That’s a lot of fun. I think they’ve engaged the fans really well this time. Not too much but they haven’t ignored their fanbase completely.
    I’ll probably pop mine in: they won’t be too disappointed if it’s done the rounds already, will they?

    The only thing I can blame Berry for is some of her performances, otherwise I put most of the blame on the director, writers and producers for how Jinx ultimately turned out. JOHN WICK CHAPTER 3 at least shows how effective Berry could have been as an action star if they didn’t just give her “yo mamma” jokes, have her ass constantly saved by Bond, etc.

    Guys, a little reminder that this is the NTTD thread. Please take the Halle Berry talk somewhere else.
