DEAL WITH IT!  I heard about that. If it's true, then congratulations to him. He appears in a marvel movie that kills it in the Box Office and now may be on track to be in one of movie's most popular franchises. Batista's truly in the big time now. He'll now by in the Mt. Rushmore of 007 henchmen with OddJob, Jaws, and the guy with the hook from Live and Let Die. |

I wonder what they're gonna do with it, Skyfall was a pretty natural cap to Mendes' and Craig's run with it and an excellent film on top of that. Personally I like to see Craig's old and busted version of Bond to be moved from full-time field agent to "old reliable" freelance contact who has to mentor his obnoxiously young and smarmy successors. It kinda bugs me that in the space of just three films Craig's Bond went from the young, newly-minted 00-agent in Casino Royale, to the old, broken-down shell he is in Skyfall. While I suppose it works on the level of showing how brutal the job is and how quickly it destroys people, it feels incredibly rushed. |

Frankly I find that more realistic than Roger Moore's Bond sticking around well past his sell-by date and pretending he was still the same young attractive secret agent as when he started. |

The whole franchise needs some spark brought back to it. Craig was a good attempt but they just didn't push things far enough with him as far as changing the vibe. Having heard he's resigned on for 24 and 25 makes me somewhat apathetic. Still, will watch for Batista.

By the end of his run him flirting with Moneypenny was like an ice cream social at the old folks home. |

Bond 24 still sounds like some industrial grade adhesive 24 seconds to apply... 24 hours to properly set... 24 years of guaranteed hold... Don't make your next DIY project an Oddjob...with Bond 24! |

So....are they going to go back to Quantum? Or can we consider that dead? In fact, is Skyfall even in the same continuity as CR and QoS?

I really hate the Daniel Craig Bond movies. I'm not a huge fan of them, but I'm not a huge fan of Bond to begin with. It's amazing how Connery can nail the role so well that everyone else just doesn't measure up, although he made a few Bond stinkers himself. I guess this is better than the alternative...lord knows how f***ing awful it would be if they got someone like Benedict Cumberbatch. You know some exec out there thinks that's a franchise saver. |

As if Cumberbatch wouldn't make the perfect Bond villain. He's certainly got the chops for it. |

Yeah, I can't see him playing a very good Bond but he'd make a hell of a bad guy. also I just went to the first page and saw I mentioned it sounds like an Adhesive there too... so I think every 2 months I need to bring that up |

I think we're supposed to assume that Skyfall takes place quite a few years after the events of CR and QoS, because the theme of Skyfall is Bond being a washed up agent, whereas he was an inexperienced and new agent in CR. I do hope Quantum makes a return, with Blofeld revealed as the top guy. There's no point doing SPECTRE again since Quantum is more or less the same group. If they do bring Quantum back, I hope Mr. White returns too. I'd like to see what he's been up to. |

You know what I want to see in a Bond movie? Quarter way or half way through the film, Daniel Craig gets killed off and someone new replaces him and takes the Bond Identity. That man should be Dave Bautista!

Hawking should play an MI6 consultant. A super genius who coordinates strategy with M and consults with the prime minister.
It'd be cool to see Hawking on screen saying some shit like "We. Must. Increase. Royal. Navy. Presence. In. The. Falklands. To. Dissuade. Any. Possible. Argentinian. Aggression"
