  • If I had to guess, we won't see another Bond film until at least 2026. To put that into context, Biden would be half way through his second term by then. Theres no knowing which direction they could take, or where culture will be by then, but I t…

  • The movie was mostly complete in 2019 so there's also a chance it could be a little bit dated by the time we see it. Rami malek was hot off playing Freddie Mercury and Billie Elllish was just fresh on the scene.
  • I can only assume Harrison ford will be heavily CGI-ed over to look younger in the movie.
  • Rumours are the budget is over 300 millions how much can they fit into one film. I remember when TDKR dropped in 2012 thinking it was the biggest movies could ever get in terms of scope. Bond in this one movie seems to jet-set the entire globe and h…
