With only two movies….that were very lackluster….in over a decade, they're running the risk of losing a generation of fans for Bond.

quote:

“We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”

This shouldn’t be hard. James Bond gets a mission, he trots around the globe, he does spy stuff, saves the world, and gets the girl.

While I am perfectly fine with them taking some time...

Here's a thought, don't reinvent a timeless character that rakes in money by using the exact same formula it has for decades.

Yeah i have no idea.

i think they need to pull back on the dark and gritty tone, make it a little more fanciful (not a lot) and make the movies more stand alone.

Big stakes, cool cars, cool gadgets, hot chicks.

This is stupid. Bond is who he is. Either keep him the way he has always been or let him stay dead.

So, not moving forward with Leslie Jones as Bond?

Too bad Queen Latifah is still busy with The Equalizer.

That show is still running, isn’t it??

I hear Ncuti Gatwa may be free soon.

Hollywood despises the very concept of James Bond. I'd rather it die than be mocked and bastardized further like they've done with so many other franchises.

They’ve already said they’re reinventing him and dropping the “misogynistic” side of him in interviews

The movies are going to bomb

Casino Royale was one of the best ever, if not the best Bond movie. They had a great Bond in Daniel Craig. Popularity was an all time high.

Then they shite the bed.

It's hard for Hollywood to do movies they can't drop in lots of feminization and feminist themes.

Bond is one of those where its just too absurd.

Then don't make a Bond movie. That's who Bond is.

He's a good looking, misogynistic, badass spy that wears nice suits, drives cool cars, sleeps with hot women, and kills bad guys trying to control the world. That's the character Ian Fleming created. If you don't want to make a movie about that character, make a movie about a different character.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

100% agree. It’s an amazing movie with a great plot. Instead of building on that movie they became a slave to it. The rest of Craig’s Bond movies were about “Bond dealing with his demons” and pointless fan service. Hell, he went “rogue” in pretty much every movie.

Well, they do have this problem with killing 007 in the last movie

Good, don’t ruin him any more than you already have with this current era of bullshite. Bond fights commies, he isn’t one of them.

What's funny is the MI movies and even the Fast franchise have shown you can make a Bond-style movie without that Bond-ness, even.

I know Ethan Hunt has some love interests, but he's asexual for 99% of the movies after 3 and a million miles away from misogynistic, and those movies print money.

We all know what that means.

Nobody is really asking for James Bond from Dr No.

But Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan's Bonds weren't really problematic at all.

This.

I am constantly amazed at how much money Hollywood wastes making shite films that no one wants to see. It's like they all have selective amnesia.

Early bond he definitely is and that’s ok. I don’t mind it

Misogynistic in that he has traditional views of females v males. Misogyny can mean several things, he certainly doesn’t hate women
