  • Yes, possibly they would. After the mixed reception of SP especially in NA Fassbender would be a godsend to EoN, MGM, and any potential distributor. Not that I think Fassbender is a far better actor than Craig but he is very well known to a sign…

  • Yes I admit I did enjoy White returning and I think they executed his return quite well.

  • The editor cut back to Moneypenny closing her frig... plus the timing slowed down a chase trying to rev up which it did barely and too late. And they so to start setting up the foster brother angle to add insult to injury.
