Interesting timing, considering that the overwhelming discussion since the last film has been will Bond be gay/non-white/non-male etc. Under Broccoli I think they could have pulled this off, under Amazon (see: LOTR) absolutely not. BUT now it seems Amazon may no longer feel pressure to have "DEI Bond". If I had to predict I'm guessing the future of Bond is:

1. Bad, see: LOTR, WOT

2. MCU/StarWars-ified (expect dozens of spin-offs, sequels, prequels, etc)

3. A-list action actors, (Tom Hardy? Jason Statham?)

4. Cringe, Amazon does not have an ounce of taste, never has, so Bond will drive a Mustang, he'll shoot a Glock or S&W, his clothes will look like Zara, and he'll be funny in the wrong ways (more Tony Stark, less Sean Connery)

God I wish we had just gotten a Idris Elba bond movie.
