To be completely fair to the producers (and as has been pointed out) Bond release dates have been inconsistent for a long time. Even if the pre-production ran like clockwork we'd likely see 2-3 year gaps between films simply owing to the fact that t…

Yeah, I think there is too. WW was essentially an unwilling pawn in the whole thing. I guess it'd be interesting to see an eccentric CEO of a big company who has specific reasons for taking part in the villain's plan (perhaps greed or money etc) but…

I suppose the claim that it'll take 'some time' is vague enough to mean anything really. I'd personally say that a casting process for such a role that's under a year (about ten months or so) is pretty quick but could easily be seen as a long time a…

I've said before that to really stand out from the Craig era, I'd like them to do something different with the villains. Instead of a scarred nemesis with a somewhat sympathetic backstory, I'd like to see a Bond villain who is instead good looking a…

I kind of agree with @echo about keeping the finance away from the main story. That said it's an interesting idea because ultimately it focuses more on Bond's regret and redemption rather than simply him having a kid and dying. I kind of feel this i…

Perhaps there's a case to be made that the Errol Flynns and John Waynes/the characters they played (heck, even Sean Connery with James Bond) were somewhat over-romanticised in a sense. Perhaps not always, but much of the time. Certainly the James Bo…

Perhaps Jeff Bezos can make an appearance in the next film as a Bond villain? He's somewhat there already. Maybe his salary is just a bit expensive for EON but still... In all seriousness though, it'd be kind of funny if the next Bond villain was…

I think they'll potentially try to redo their idea for Joker in the next one - include him but as a sort of Hannibal Lecter character. Not the main villain and essentially imprisoned for the film, but vital to the story. It could work if integrat…

I think they were going for something weirdly metaphorical during the initial scene with Madeline but it's completely misplaced: "No James, you are not her Father yet as you haven't earned that right... biologically, of course she is, just look at t…
