Shaft is a blaxploitation movie. The character’s race is not just important, but fundamental to the entire purpose of the movie. It’s a shame it needs to be said at all let alone again, but the comparison doesn’t work. Bond’s defining characteristics don’t have to include skin colour. It’s just as irrelevant as the hair colour objections when Craig was cast.
Whether or not this actor or any other is well-cast depends entirely on what the filmmakers are planning. We can’t judge that until we see it.
A pretentious exercise in how to get as many complicated, convoluted and labyrinthine words in as possible. Never enjoyed a Bond movie, or played with a Corgi DB5 model in his life (his is probably still in its box and steadily appreciating in value).
Any more ideas/predictions who the next Bond will be?
Wasn't Bond killed in the last film, No Time To Die?
The Daniel Craig Bond died.
The Bond franchise is now a kind of multiverse. I think that's What they call them?. It can go off in all different directions as each new Bond starts. So if you like,there isn't a single Bond story.

There is/was a theory that "James Bond" was actually a cover identity so each Bond was actually a different person who all assumed the Bond/007 ID.
Not entirely sure it holds up to scrutiny but it seems like TPTB might have a similar idea.

I agree that that is what they have done but, imho, it's bollox.

I do quite like this as an idea, each bond then could have his own character arc over the duration of that particular actors time in the role - Craig's main theme would've been Spectre, but you can go in a lot of different directions with the character this way, rather than trying to make it fit in with the many different previous films which have been made over a long time frame.

that can be shot down by the fact Daniel Craig had the old DB5 in a lock up in skyfall when he drives M up to scotland.
if he wasn't the only James Bond he would never of had the car

No, as in there's multiple Bonds but they hold the title one at a time, like how there's been multiple Popes over the years but there's only one Pope at a time.

This has legs as I do believe the Popemobile also has twin front mounted Gatling guns and an ejector seat…

i understand that, im saying he has to be the same man all the way through as his wife died, he still knows that, he had the db5 etc
if it was different spys taking up the role these things wouldnt happen as everyone since lasenby wasnt widowed, graig would never have had the db5 to keep hold of....

I would imagine the DB5 is just a nod to the past - it's not literal otherwise Bond in the latest film would be about 100 years old!

I can't remember that well but wasn't the Manor house basically "Bond manor" with his parents grave saying Mr and Mrs Bond, the housekeeper who knew his as a kid etc?
The theory works pretty well otherwise, and explains how Judi Dench got older as M while Craig was younger than Brosnon etc.
Great documentary on Amazon Prime called The Sound of 007. tells the story of the different Bond tunes, themes and performers and composers. Thoroughly enjoying it.
The Bond movies have never really maintained a continuity, at least not consistently. The Craig movies aimed to change that and did to some extent. The plan with Skyfall was for Connery to turn up and reveal that the name ‘Bond’ was inherited by different agents, thus tying the movies together. But he refused and the plan was abandoned (and the role was rewritten for the Albert Finney character).
It’s not a multiverse, which has allowed the likes of Sony to make lots more money, more of a reboot each time they change actor. The thing is, by making the Craig movies a continuation the producers have painted themselves into a corner. The next movie has to be very different stylistically. Like a flat out comedy, a reboot with a teenager or a twist like that.
The last run of films in my eyes were head, shoulders and torso above any other Bond film as much as they were cool films they gave Mike Myers all the ammo he needed to for the, also excellent, Austin Powers films.
I don't care what they do next with the character/vehicle of James Bond, I think it would be a shame to make a series as Bond films are their own cinematic events and a series would dilute that horribly. What I do hope is they make a good film or run of films, the bar has been set tremendously high but if you look at Casino Royale which I thought was the best movie of the Craig films, they had a nice touch of continuity with Judi Dench, clearly took a steer from the Bourne films or any number of Jason Statham films and made an absolute banger with characters that had real depth.

He quit acting after having a horrendous experience on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Nobody could convince him to act again. I think he did a voice job for a low budget animation or something but that was it. From what I remember he was vaguely open to Skyfall but was 85 and couldn’t physically do what was written so that was that.

This might be common knowledge but what happened on LoEG?

I didn't know this, but apparently there was a massive storm damaging loads of stuff, and then he fell out badly with the Director:

Presumably then thought he was too old and too rich for the hassle!
