"We want Daniel to have his time of celebration," she said. During the No Time To Die press blitz Barbara Broccoli – Cubby's daughter, and the woman who holds the future of the James Bond franchise in her palms – told the Today programme on Radio 4 that the Bond top brass weren't "even thinking about" casting yet, and wouldn't until 2022. We're not likely to find out who it is too soon. To kill some time before we find out for sure, though, we've got some guesses of differing degrees of wildness. You might as well get the Ouija board out to ask the spirit of Cubby Broccoli what he reckons.
Now the question turns to who will take over from him as Bond now he's swapped his Walther PPK for a P45 (or indeed, whether Bond will return at all).Īnd really: who knows. But he did at last make Bond a serious cinematic force again, renewing it first for the post 9/11 era and then for a whole new challenge after the Marvel Cinematic Universe reorientated what we expect from our mega-franchises.Ĭraig's been given the carriage clock and an engraved whisky decanter and been banged out of MI6 for the last time. No, he didn't do as many gags as he once did. Yes, his Bond got smacked about a bit more than he used to. No Time To Die is out, and Daniel Craig has romped through his final round of promo duties with a giddiness that has set the seal on a very happy era for Bond. He screams to break open the doors and get her out, and the look on Craig’s face when he realizes that she’s dead is one that no other actor had ever managed for the character. Daniel Craig’s Best Bond MomentĬraig’s best scene as Bond comes when Vesper Lynd dies in the sunken elevator. Fortunately for us, his talent as an actor will make sure he isn’t typecast. That’s something no other Bond has ever brought forward as potently.Īcross his five movies as Bond, Daniel Craig has built a legacy that will forever hold him in that role. But he’s a more fully-rounded incarnation of Bond than his predecessors.ĭaniel Craig’s Bond truly feels pain and loss as a character, and he feels the weight and toll of the job that’s put upon him. Sure, Craig has all the traditional Bond facets in his character as well, including the lust for women and a penchant for quips. Instead, he has raw brutality-the kind of edge that real service agents would have.

Daniel Craig’s iteration of Bond isn’t overtly suave or overly full of swagger. Here we have the man who re-invented James Bond for the modern age of cinema.

JAMES BOND ACTORS SERIES
It was brutal, visceral, and what the series needed. Pierce Brosnan’s Best Bond Momentīrosnan’s best moment as 007 is hard to pinpoint since he had many stand-out scenes, but we’re going with his fight with Alec Trevelyan in GoldenEye. Although, again, that also came down to the screenwriters who couldn’t seem to let the ghost of Roger Moore’s Bond die. The only downside to Brosnan was that his charm was overplayed.
JAMES BOND ACTORS MOVIE
Director Quentin Tarantino even said he’d have kept him in the role had he directed the movie after Die Another Day. He was the original choice to succeed Roger Moore but couldn’t get out of his Remington Steele contract to play the part.īrosnan was calm, collected, and had the right demeanor. Pierce Brosnan was the right man to play Bond, but entirely in the wrong era. The first Irishman to play Bond was victim to some awful and hyperbolic indulgence on behalf of the filmmakers-yet, somehow, he managed to come through his stint with a reputation as one of the better iterations we’ve seen of James Bond. Of all the sequences that Moore’s Bond was involved in, his best was in The Man With the Golden Gun when he and Scaramanga face off on Scaramanga’s island. It’s evident in all the Bond movies he made, as he looks like an older gentleman who can’t seem to understand that he looks ridiculous. He was 45 when he first played Bond and 58 when he gave it up. The filmmakers deserve their share of the blame, too. The hammy action sequences-as well as some of the most insane plot choices-do make him “the Adam West” of Bonds when compared to the other actors, though it isn’t entirely his fault. He lasted in the role for 12 years and played Bond seven times in his career. The Moore iteration of Bond isn’t one that people look back on too fondly, but it was the 70s and Moore’s Bond fit the era. He took that particular element that Sean Connery brought to the role and expanded upon it without doing much else for the rest of the character.
