James Bond fans were shaken and stirred Tuesday night.
Daniel Craig officially confirmed he will return to the role of Agent 007 in the upcoming Bond 25 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday. Craig had previously been attached to the project by reports from the New York Times and others, but never confirmed personally — until his appearance on Colbert’s show.
“Yes,” Craig told Colbert point-blank, when asked if he will return as the secret agent. He said he’s known he would reprise the role for “a couple of months” now.
Wonder who will direct the next one. Some rumors say it’s Christopher Nolan.
James bond done to death shit…same shit different package each film was done with the crap ages ago whole franchise is as boring as the fast and furious guff
They need to reboot it and go back to the campy humor, not so serious Bond of the 70s/80s. Bond takes himself far too seriously nowadays and there’s absolutely nothing to distinguish the franchise from any other run of the mill action flick.
I think there was definitely a time and a place for Craig’s gritty Bond after how campy it had become, especially with Bourne trilogy doing so well and Austin Powers making so much fun of Bond.
It needed a dark reboot and executed it very well, but the Kingsman has now shown that there is very much still a place for campy, over the top spy movies.
Bond was rebooted in amazing style with Casino Royale and then fell off a cliff with Bourne Quantum. Skyfall meh. Spectre kinda good but weak. I don’t even wanna watch this new one.
My faves are the Connery/Lazenby era and a bit of the Moore, plus Goldeneye.
