I thought the plan was to eventually elevate Hunt to an advisory role. Like a combination of the Alec Baldwin and Jeremy Renner characters. That way you still have him around... but the action and stunts are being carried out by some new exciting young star (or stars)... 

And this Bond series that's re-started with Casino Royale has been pretty careful in keeping the possibilities for a new "james bond" open... Skyfall did a lot of that all by itself, by showing us Silva, who had a code-name AND a code-number that M gave him when he joined... If this movie is also going to show that the code-number can be given to a new agent, it's not much of a leap to have whoever they get next... because I'm betting Lashana Lynch won't keep the 007 title all the way to the end of this movie... take over both the number AND the name, too... it frees them up to cast a different man.  It's actually some clever cake-and-eat-it-too plotting there.... they get the promotional burst of "a black woman is 007" while also, by the end, getting a brand new James Bond taking over, without needing this new Bond to be the exact same guy as Daniel Craig's....

Has anything more come out regarding Malek's character? Early rumors were he was playing Dr. No but I haven't heard anything solid since...

It's been a while since I saw Skyfall,  but I don't remember anything about M giving Silva a code-name. I always assumed he created his alias himself.

I'm pretty sure Barbara Broccoli vetoed making the codename theory canon years ago, and I strongly doubt she's going to intentionally do anything implying it is true.

 

So I'd treat whatever actor replaces Craig as playing the exact same guy as Craig did.

I thought M gave Silva his name? If I'm remembering it wrong I apologize but I thought that was part of the whole "mother" deal he had... that was the name his "mother" gave him...

Not into the title.  But curious to see what they come up with. 

 

And Malek is *still* finalizing his deal??  😉😂

 

If you can update the thread title to the film title, you can help finalize Malek's negotiations, mods... 😉

Hope they finalise it before they finish filming.

Skyfall is one of the best movies of the decade. I can handle a few crappy bond films until we get another Skyfall (not saying this'll be crappy, but I'll be there regardless). 

Tbh. It is kind of how the series ebbs and flows.

Bond franchise not modern and hip enough for you?

the title reminds me of all those indistinguishable Bond titles from the Pierce Brosnan era that nobody would remember in a trivia game
