    You'll get neither. But when you get Tom Holland you'll take it and like it!

    That's what the second E in SPECTRE stands for, after all.

    I think Amazon should go in a completely new direction. It's time to expand the Bond franchise. Amazon MGM and Paramount Studios present:

    Tom Holland may be ideal for the part. Right height.

    I think this is going to be a total reinvention. Bond will be doing selfies, and make a fortune with crypto currency, and be involved on a mission when some hacker steals his fortune.

    There's probably going to be a set piece in Dubai, where a woman influencer Bond bedded misses her plane and his kidnapped and left for dead and Bond goes on revenge against sons of russian oligarchs. This kind of stuff.

    I can't possibly see them going any other way. They need to grab the elusive Gen Z attention span (good luck). It's going to be a radical change, but then Bond always evolved with the times. What I'm not sure is how Villeneuve will handle the humor.

    Just sat through Heads of State, so am not too worried about Amazon Bond. Whole thing was pretty much what an eighties Roger Moore Bond would be with modern production values. Even followed the Bond Formula to an extent. Very funny.

    I can't see Villeneuve doing a Roger Moore type Bond film. 🤭 Not really his style. But hey, anything is possible. 😉

    His favorite Bond films are CR and SF.

    We might as well just keep the MI6 brigade at this rate.

    I would agree that a Bond film that largely takes place on computer screens chock-full of Amazon product placement, starring Ice Cube and directed by a first time director would be the worst case scenario.

    On the other hand Disney made the sequel trilogy and The Acolyte, but they also made The Mandalorian and Andor. A studio is capable of making both bad and good stuff.

    Of course. Let's not forget that the producers of CR also gave us DAD.

    Let’s hope Amazon learns a lesson from the failure of others.
