  • Tucci is completely wasted in it but I guess it’s giving him a break from doing cookery shows and flogging saucepans these days!

  • I have no idea how Citadel could be fixed, without going back to a blank sheet of paper. It certainly killed any idea of Madden as Bond for me. I must check out some of Reynor’s work - I’ve only seen him in Macbeth and am mainly aware of him from m…

  • I would put Elordi in the ‘likeable but limited’ category based on what I have seen him in (Saltburn and Priscilla) - he could be a decent shout to play Leiter (which he is probably too famous for, at this stage) but I could not imagine him as Bond.
