Daniel Craig laughed off a question asking him who he would love to see play James Bond next.

    It will end up being someone lousy. The Bond franchise is like Star Trek films. You get good bond/lousy bond/good bond cycles over and over. They’ll go for someone pretty, it will flop after one or two movies, and then they’ll hire a good actor again.

      Craig Good
      Brosnan Bad
      Dalton Good
      Moore Bad
      Lazenby Good
      Niven Bad
      Connery Good

      Does not compute.

        I’d argue that every Bond has been good in their own way. What brought some of them down is the poor writing, not what the actor brought to the role.

        • Connery good
        • Lazenby awful
        • Moore good
        • Dalton bad
        • Brosnan good
        • ???
        • Craig good

        I don’t really count Niven and I can’t explain the gap between Brosnan and Craig. Maybe it has something to do with switching on the superconducting supercollider. I’m also still disappointed Halle Berry as Jinx didn’t get a spin off movie.
