Not British. Impossible.

Give her a chance, I wouldn't be surprised if she isn't already in the process of applying for citizenship all things considered.

 


Villeneuve will have Carte Blanche. He is pulling a lot of weight these days.
I very much doubt that. That doesn't seem to be Amazon Studio's MO at all. And Villeneuve doesn't pull that much weight; the Bond franchise is a big deal with a lot of people having a lot of opinions on what its supposed to be. I doubt he'll even have carte blanche in who to cast, since whomever he casts will probably outlast Villeneuve's tenure on the series.

Heck, some Mr. Hollywood moneybags will probably insist on casting Pedro Pascal under the mistaken impression that he's literally in every movie these days because audiences love him.
 




It will be Elton John with a de-aging AI muscular makeover! And he'll sing the Bond theme song in character!

Goodbye Daniel Craig
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
Despite all the naysayers' catcalls
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered your blond locks were lame
They put you in a franchise treadmill
And gave you a license to kill

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a martini never stirred
Never knowing that you only use gin
Because a vodka martini is absurd
And I would've liked to known you
But I was just a kid
You preferred to know the ladies
Women, booze and killin' is what you did
 

I think Bond deal
Yeah, I mean that is really the problem I think :). MI has had a good run and I think its appropriate to end around now. Bond was written for a particular time and context--cold war spycraft--and it doesn't really connect so many years after the fact.


I dunno. Bond in a vaguely middle eastern region that controls some key resource as drone swarms flying around blowing things up and militia on horseback fire surface-to-surface missiles at cargo ships at the behest of oligarchs, billionairs, fascist despots and religious figures seems...quite relatable.

And the sandworms. Bond riding a sandworm is just what we need to see. He could have a punch out with Muad’Dib on the back of one.

Bond hooking his sandworm: “Time for a shpot of fishing”.
