  • Well, Moore , Lazenby and Connery are contemporaries and are the “same” James Bond. The young Bond in 62’s Dr No is the same Bond as the old one in 85’s AVTAK. I actually consider Dalton, because of his age, the first re-boot. His Bond is not the sa…
  • To bring in a significantly younger actor to play Bond, while keeping the rest of the Craig era cast, would look silly . This era may have plot holes but there is a continuity of time passing.

  • Bad Boys 3 with Jude Law and High Grant, brilliant. 😁

  • I have a lot of black friends who are big movie fans, several are huge Bond fans; every one of them chuckles at the discussion of a black Bond.
  • I would absolutely love to see Idris in a first class spy film the features him as an original character.
