Pressure is on for a more woke 007 without the “toxic masculinity” according to a few articles.
Maybe the next Bond will be female.
The days of 007 grabbing a passing Bond girl (banned term) while snogging her and unzipping her dress with a fiendish watch magnet while she passively melts into her arms are probably gone.

I thought the last Bond Spectre was dreadful so I’m hoping for better
Casino Royale, the first Daniel Craig Bond (not the spoof) is my favourite Bond film of all time Thrilling plot with real tension, a strong female character and a Bond that actually got hurt Skyfall was pretty good as well but Spectre was dreadful in my opinion with comic book silliness. Not one shred of believability

Bond movies have always been a good bit of classy escapism without an ounce of credibility, enjoy it for what it is not what you think it should be  Nice cars in nice locations doing silly things, a kind of updated Laurel and Hardy with girls and guns. I expect the next one will have to feature an invalid carriage, oops sorry an all electric car for Bond, that will be exciting  enjoy it while you can I say it's for fun.

In the next bond film, to make sure ##7 doesn’t offend anyone, they have Diane Abbott as M and Jeremy Corbyn as Q who manages to come up with a Christmas cracker with a CND badge in it. Oops! That’s me off to soapbox corner

Not one shred of believability Re Casino Royale I won't forget Craig talking to the bondgirl in the train compartment for the first time. She: Rolex? He: Omega! That was so funny and against all the conventions of "subtle" product placement. This way Craig as Bond was introduced as a tough straight ahead guy who doesn't like gossip and calls a spade a spade.

I liked the shot of the GT40 in Casino Royale.
