UK Next James Bond Movie Will Be a 'Complete Reinvention' For the Series

007’s next outing will completely reinvent the James Bond series. According to producer Barbara Broccoli, the 26th Bond movie will reinvent who James Bond is… but they haven’t found an actor to take up the mantle just yet.


“Nobody’s in the running,” she said in a new story via Deadline. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script, and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”

Broccoli’s comments were made during a BFI Fellowship dinner where she and Michael G. Wilson were honored for their fellowship. The pair were awarded their fellowships by series regulars Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris… and it seems that Fiennes couldn’t help but quip that he’s on-hand and ready to train up the new 007.

“[You] killed Bond,” he joked, referencing Daniel Craig’s exit in No Time to Die. “Naomie and I are the people to fix it. You find him and we’ll train him.”

Of course, Broccoli previously stated that the search for the next James Bond would begin in 2022 after Craig’s dramatic exit prompted speculation about who would become the world’s greatest spy in his wake.

“We're not thinking about it at all,” she said at the time. “We want Daniel [Craig] to have his time of celebration. Next year we'll start thinking about the future.”

Craig first portrayed Bond in the 2006 film Casino Royale. He reprised the role of 007 in 2008's Quantum of Solace, 2012's Skyfall, and 2015's Spectre, which have collectively grossed more than $3.1 billion at the worldwide box office.

Who will take up the role of Bond, James Bond? For now, we’ll have to wait and see.

But it looks as though the search is on for the next 007. And it sounds as though it’s going to be an exciting time to be a secret agent.

Does this mean more niggers, or less niggers? I hope it's the latter, but since there's a woman in charge, I believe it will be the latter.

 

[Product Placement]

They really should set it in the 60s for the next series of Bond movies

 

[Ashen One]

That's an interesting way of saying "The next James Bond movie will not be a James Bond movie."

That X-men reboot in the 60’s was different and fun. This idea would also refresh the series while keeping it close to the original characters

Also right now feels like Mission: Impossible is bigger and by doing this they would be doing something to avoid comparisons to those movies. Another bonus is that it make them avoid doing shit like hacker plots.

Yeah, but what the audience really wants is a '70s blacksplotation setting and his name is Boss...

Boss Nigger.

 

[That Chris Guy]

Best-case scenario: It'll be a point-for-point ripoff of another movie. Something like he'll wake up with amnesia and slowly bring his identity together AKA Jason Bourne, and they'll all give each other a pat on the back thinking they're so clever when it closes out with him saying, "My name is Bond. James Bond."

Worst-case scenario: Bond will purely be a diversity hire. Gay Muslim negress or whatever they come up with, it'll be nothing like Bond and you're a racist, sexist bigot for wanting Bond in a Bond movie.

 

[Getwhatyou]

The use of niggers in film is ruining night scenes. They need to smile more or something

 

[whatever I feel like]

Hasn't pretty much every Craig movie (except the critically panned Quantum of Solace) been a "reinvention" of the series. You've played this card too often, MGM, me thinks the deck is loaded.

Definitely more niggers, pakis and other assorted duskily hued 'Britons'. Idris Elba has been angling after the role for years, hasn't he? Although his window of opportunity has probably passed.

As far as I know, there aren't even any of Fleming's books left to adapt, the Bond 'brand' is just another cultural institution for globohomo skinwalkers to bleed dry and use as a subversive tool.

James bond in 2032

 

[Lady Rackets Ass]

Hot take I enjoyed the last bond movie then again I’ve never watched any of the Bonds before Craig so I have no real attachment to the character

 

[Spunt]

Hasn't pretty much every Craig movie (except the critically panned Quantum of Solace) been a "reinvention" of the series. You've played this card too often, MGM, me thinks the deck is loaded.

Plus every change of actor has been a "reinvention" too, especially once they ran out of Ian Fleming novels.

My prediction is that Bond will be another white guy (unless they can get Idris Elba in), but he'll be completely emasculated and some sassy black woman will keep rescuing him and solve all the problems. Having Bond castigated for being too old-fashioned has happened before, notably in Goldeneye, where M spends the whole movie calling him a sexist pig, but his character arc in that film is all about him proving that he's still useful and can still kick ass while respecting the wahmens, and Goldeneye was one of the best Bond films ever. But I don't think we'll get another Goldeneye, we'll get something like the Obi-Wan series where the title character is sidelined and only exists to be schooled/rescued by Diverse Wahmens. It will be terrible, but overall there have been more bad Bond films than good ones at this point anyway.

It def means a nigger of some type.

I wouldn’t care so much if he is basically same character type but niggerish. I can see them doing the same shit they did in Star Wars where they fuck the main character (that female Mary Sue) in order to prove that blackie is better or women more responsible.

Next bond will tank and they will blame whitey — as always

 

[Daniel Wallace]

I thought there was already a black chick playing James Bond? Or am I thinking of something else?

 

[Stabmaster Arson]

Yeah, but what the audience really wants is a '70s blacksplotation setting and his name is Boss...

Boss Nigger.

More likely that's going to be the archetype for the next Bond.

Malt liquor, stolen, not purchased.

Crackers BTFO.

she just took the code name 007 over in the new movie

There's this one Bond story I read many years ago, it was set in post-WWII Italy. Bond goes to investigate a previous MI6 agent stationed in Sicily who's gone missing, ends up working with a CIA spook also stationed there, assisting him on the case.

The antagonist is an American businessman who's planning to smuggle cheap cocaine or heroin into the US via an ocean liner he owns as revenge for "muh jews" convincing the US to participate in WWII (or WWI, can't recall), in which his son died. His plan being to create a drug epidemic that cripples the US.

Bond stops him, discovers that the CIA spook betrayed the aforementioned MI6 agent and was on the payroll of that American, and covertly murders him in his own home during the epilogue.

I really wish they gave Tarantino a shot at Casino Royale. He apparently wanted to keep Brosnan as bond for a movie set when the book took place. The Casino Royale we got was great but I’d definitely like them to attempt a period piece.
