The next Bond should have a persona of the Universe not British or American. James Bond enjoys equal popularity all over the world as he enjoys in the West and America. The secret of the James Bond film is the personality of its hero who never looked like a person only from any particular country, but represents the universe’s face and gets huge love and respect.
According to the report, Daniel Craig’s five-film stint as the super spy came to an end with 2021’s No Time to Die; his replacement is yet to be announced. Brosnan, who played 007 in four films between 1995 and 2002, was asked about the franchise following the news that longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson had ceded creative control of James Bond to Amazon, in a deal reportedly worth more than $1bn. They will remain co-owners of the franchise.
The fans of James Bond movies are addicted to their choice of film. Despite the fact that it’s all fiction not reality, the fans of the heartthrob James Bond saga want to enjoy every year a new instalment of the film.
In my point of view it’s such a bizarre debate that the next Bond should be British, not American. How does someone wish to make the next Bond British or American when the film generates a heavy revenue from all over the world? The new Bond should be a great artiste who can carry on the legacy of the successful record of the film.
James Bond film fans are waiting anxiously for its new instalment and I am sure the makers of the movie are working hard to bring out the best product.
