Come on, we’ve had 25 Bond films loaded with action scenes. Let’s have one where he’s just in the office filling out paperwork and going to lunch with co-workers for 2 hours.
So is there any remotely plausible theory about how they are going to bring Bond back after quite literally obliterating him? The end credits of No Time to Die do say “James Bond will return” rather than “007 will return” or nothing at all.
Well sure, but for some reason I was assuming that even a reboot can’t simply pretend that the main character didn’t die in the previous film. I guess I’m probably wrong about that.
Make him a bit cheesier and funnier this time. The thing about Bond as a character is that his unique attributes are all superficial – he’s a posh British womanizer spy with clever one-liners and cool gadgets. Take that away (as the Craig films eventually did), and he might as well just be Jason Bourne or Ethan Hunt.

I sure hope they feature at least a few ridiculously impossible and unbelievable stunt sequences per film!
As long as they’re practical, that’s all I really want from a Bond film.

How many of those rancid “martinis” do you think he pounds for lunch?
I just need a cool car with a few gadgets and a watch that does something implausible. One or the other should have a laser, ideally.

It will be a reboot, so no need to bring anyone back.

Bond continuity basically resets every time they recast the guy.
“So is there any remotely plausible theory about how they are going to bring Bond back after quite literally obliterating him?”
Why would they need to do that? They’re casting a younger Bond, not an older one.
“Somehow, James Bond returned.”That’ll be a million dollars, please.
They rebooted the series once already, no reason not to do it again.
