  • You Know My Name is my favourite from the Craig years. I do like the slower atmospheric songs, but I'd like them to alternate with faster, rockier numbers like YKMN or Live and Let Die.

  • Yeah, I'd like The Pretty Reckless to tackle a Bong theme. "25" sounds like a deliberate Bond audition, right down to using the phrase "die another day" in the lyrics. Perhaps not the best film to namecheck, though!

  • The Batman looked amazing. I'd love to see him do a Bond film. Ditto for Christopher Doyle, though I know he often left Wong Kar-Wai's films before they were finished, which might make Eon a bit wary of him.

  • I'm sure a James Bond/Godzilla team-up film is inevitable.
  • ...if you live somewhere near an IMAX cinema. I don't.

  • Kraven doesn't have much source material to work with. The chances of it being another Spider-Man or Into the Spider-Verse are very slim indeed, imo. Depending on his contract he might still have to play the role in other films, however, even if Kra…
