  • @007HallY If EON is smart, they should maybe cater more to the generation Z audience in the next one, much like the Aliens franchise has done with their newest. One thing that can make me restore faith in the franchise, is if I see 13 year-old kids…

  • The last three Bond movies have been among the top five highest grossing movies of the year they were released. And with a new Bond and a Goldeneye-level peak of interest, there's no way that B26 will tank, unless they really screw up the movie, whi…
  • @Red_Snow Of all the excuses I have heard about postponing, having a Deadpool-movie define the future of the franchise must be one of the more ludicrous.
