The formula is just so long in the tooth anyways. Daniel Craig did a great job holding the role down, but the recent Bond films range from "watchable" to "hopelessly derivative". Like, the villain from the past 5... 10 Bond flicks feel the exact same: maniacal and sadistic monster threatens utopia with their wide-ranging connections and myopic, sad personal viewpoint. It's so played-out by now that it feels more like watching Batman serials than a golden-era spy thriller. I don't know if the franchise is salvageable. I do know that I'd pay good money to see a 007 reboot in satirical service to BJP-era India or Jair Bolsonaro.
