I think one way or another, whether it be a return of the broad Roger Moore style humour, or something new like "the menu" and mylods sharp wit, the films will go in a more comedic, zany direction. If die another days surfing sequence was a "jump th…

Mark Mylod might mean we get Anya Taylor-Joy as the bond girl since they worked together on The Menu. When we talk about a more playful, snappy tone but keeping a grounded feeling - that seems to suit Marks style very well. Also, just like actors…

I noticed Mark Mylod hasn't got another film on the go after The Menu (2022). If EON want a less prestige name than Nolan or Villeneuve, but still having some pedigree, perhaps he could be on the radar?

If Ben Whishaw isn't continuing as Q I nominate Brain Tyree Henry as the next Q. I always perk up when he's on screen. We could even have a lemon and tangerine reunion from bullet train. :-bd Edit : Oops this was meant for the Bond 26 thread, so…

No prizes for who @peter wants to direct Bond 26. ;)

You might not agree but I don't think there's anything word-salad about what I'm saying. Austin Powers was released in 1997 and by 2002 EON felt that the audience had become wise to the tropes and there was a certain irony you couldn't escape fro…

Villeuneve directing Bond 26 for an April 2026 release honestly works for me. He's not my first choice, but the first film in an actor's tenure is usually pretty toned down and muted compared to what they go on to do. You need that basic foundation …

How crazy would it be if both Villeneuve and Nolan both couldn't make Bond fit their schedules, and EON are forced to draft in Martin Campbell at the last minute? I guess it depends on whether EON and Amazon view November 2026 as the deadline that t…

Grab Aidan Turner, Martin Campbell, David Arnold and let's get this show on the road! B-)

Turner (Aidan) has that something, even ATJ has that something. But a lot of these other guys, I just don't see it.

I think Bond actors need a certain uniqueness to their look, and Cavill, Suter, James just look like "non-descript attractive man" to me. As much as I don't like his films, even Craig had a distinct look, and to me Aidan Turner has that. He has an a…

Happily my first choice is Edgar Wright and has been for a long time. My second choice switches, but right now I'd say Martin Campbell. I like Edgar Wright because he has that thing that underrated director Guy Hamilton had, of setting up and pay…
