Couldn’t care less. The Bond series died to me the minute Daniel Craig took over as Bond. I’ve always said he’d be better as a Bond villain not as Bond himself. Could someone please remind me what happened in Sceptre? Spectre introduces probably Bond's blandest love interest yet (and for some reason, she's also the focus of this one), Andrew Scott played the exact same character he played in Sherlock, and they ripped off Austin Powers In Goldmember. That's. About. It.

I'm looking forward to the new Bond being announced. I long for the suave, gadget wielding Bond to return and not a thug in a suit as Craig has portrayed him. Given that the overwhelming favourite seems to be Tom Hardy, I suspect the thug in a suit theme is here to stay for a while.

I'm guessing Bond will have to take on an enemy he has never met before: THE NCAA FINAL FOUR WEEKEND (And likely Wrestlemania Weekend)

Dude has played a ton of thuggish, brutal characters very well. Him playing Bond would basically be a continuation with an even more aggressive edge mixed in. I've enjoyed at least the theming of the Craig films even if the quality has been inconsistent, Hardy taking over doesn't sound like a solution.

The Moore era Bonds were so campy and horrible. I think Brosnan was the perfect mix of the two. Although the movies got progressively worse.

Better then having to come out in theaters in a weekend in which there'll be a lot of people watching Final Four basketball on Saturday night (Should there be no disruptions during college basketball season) thus crippling it's potential box office

The campy Moore era doesn’t do anything for me. I’d be on board with the direction they’re in right now, or channeling a more suave style like Bronson Bond.

I’d welcome a return to the Moore type of Bond film every once and awhile. I enjoy them, but there’s nothing separating the Craig Bond from any of the other current spy/action films.

...and if it's coming out in theaters during Final Four weekend (Should both happen as planned), it's going to lose a lot more due to people staying home to see the NCAA tournament semis, especially if a team that draws high ratings (Like an Duke or a Kentucky) is in the final four, MGM better hope we're given an Final Four so bad that NOBODY OUTSIDE of the markets of the final four schools in the tournament are going to watch it, it'll lose a lot more money

The Final Four typically draws, what? 18-20 million viewers? Assuming all of those people were planning to go to see the movie and the movie was playing for one night only, then it would be a crippling blow to the box office. In reality probably no more than half of those people watching the basketball would otherwise have gone to the movie, and in any case they will have about five or six weeks to go see it. Plus, as noted previously, the Final Four is a complete non-factor outside the U.S., so will not affect the other 31 countries it is releasing in on the same weekend. At the moment MGM have much more to fear from the long-term effects of Covid than one night of basketball.

No Time To Die was also the title of an Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli-produced film set in World War 2, directed by Terrance Young (Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball) and co-written by Bond legend Richard Maibaum. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Time_to_Die_(1958_film)

It's sad that the film is going to now have a double in memoriam for Roger Moore and Sean Connery

Yeah, the Craig movies are all pretty similar to all of the other spy thrillers that are around this time... not to mention like all of them have taken the "ROGUE AGENT!" plot point... that has been done to f***ing death at this point.

I'll just be happy if they make Bond chamring with a sense of fun again.

They’ve abused the hell out of the “rogue agent” thing with Craig. Even if I do mostly enjoy his Bond flicks

Some tired cliches from the Craig era, and even before it, that I personally could do with never seeing or hearing again....
1- Bond or any other in universe character questioning whether Bond is obsolete. 2- Any character questioning whether the entire concept of double-0 agents or British intelligence in general is obsolete. 3- Mumbled dialogue. 4- Overly edited chase, fight, or any action sequences.
5- Any suggestion that the character of James Bond should be played by a woman. He shouldn't be, he never will be. Please, shut the **** up. There are other double-0 agents. One of them could easily be played by a woman and be given their own spin off TV show or movies.
6- Actresses complaining about being called "Bond girls". It's not an insult. If it's really that objectionable, don't take the role. Let someone else have their chance. 7- Any suggestion that the entire chracter of Bond and the franchise in general is obsolete, archaic, anachronistic etc....If you don't like it, don't watch it.
