His aging isn't helped by these three to four year gaps, either.
@SirHilaryBray how much they make just in u.s. and how much was attendance in u.s. ?
But he's... not? They make it pretty clear this entire era is disconnected from the classic films.
Hugh Jackman is a beast, and he's doing 450 lbs deadlifts with help-- especially at his age.
It's a quick fix for actors. Get back in the gym and metabolically train, with prescribed doses of HGH and testosterone.
Everything about DC will get tighter again.
But, seriously, if he's committed to do another 007 film, then he better commit all the way, and get back in the gym. RM only is watchable in AVTAK because he's Rog and he IS so damn watchable. But, as @bondjames has said many time, and I whole heartedly agree, DC can't execute the charming playboy-- aging or no. He's a rugged animal, and his physicality is key to his execution.
Get back in the gym Daniel, your vacation is over.
Skyfall 2
U.S., listed by number of tickets sold.

It's not that necessary, considering Skyfall is supposed to take place a few months after Skyfall.
Anyway, it all depends on the story they're going to tell. If Madeleine comes back, and no one knows if she will, will they say that Bond and her have lived together for 6-7 years? Seems too long for me.
It's just that this persistent rumour of a Logan style story (which kicked in about the time the rumours started floating around about Craig returning in April 2017) leads me to conclude that they will advance the timeline to tell the story of an 'older' Bond, rather than start straight after the events of SP, especially after 4 long 'real' years have passed.
Mr. Craig will be more credible in this scenario as well, given recent photos.
But he's still supposed to be the same character.
But you've got me thinking now @bondjames, do we really need to see that happen? They could start a few years down the line with broken old man Bond already back at MI6, and just hint at what happened (snippets of flashbacks, a photo of Madeline, that sort of thing). Maybe open with him on a mission but he messes up? Since in YOLT he does talk about how the state he's in has been affecting his assignments.
Why? Well, I viewed CR just this weekend, and realized that they've already done the lovey dovey / grieving thing so well with Craig Bond in that film and QoS, so why run the risk of retreading that poorly. Also, if his 'arc' is meant to be viewed holistically, it doesn't make sense to delve into the same sort of issues again.
Similarly, I never believed they would redo the OHMSS scenario either (why ruin the memory of that near perfect film)?
So, the 'old man' Bond makes the most sense to me. Blofeld could still appear.
:-D
Yes. My understanding is that make up is tailored for the lighting of the event being attended, but sometimes they don't get it totally right, and at any rate, I imagine the conditions in such circumstances --with people looking at the actor from everywhere-- are much less controllable than on a film set, where there are just a few cameras capturing the actor's face, and thus everything can be adjusted to make him look as good as possible. I wouldn't worry about Craig's looks regarding Bond 25.
Sounds too close to Skyfall. I want to see Craig Bond at his best, not broken down again.
They should make a Bond movie that plays on the fact he's ageing and past his prime. Doh....
The first was CR. That movie was sexy, romantic and thrilling.
The second movie was SF. Only two films after the first (in an era obsessed with continuity) it halted DC's momentum and was a strange choice.
If they go down this path with B25 it is unlikely to work IMO.
Sounds like the start of Skyfall - Bond 'messes' up his mission in not retrieving the list, albeit not being his fault having being shot by Miss Moneypenny.
I like this idea.
They (lightly) touch on Bond's age in NSNA - he's in semi-retirement at the beginning - and retires at the end - which I always felt was a nice and fitting end to Connery's Bond.
