‘With end of Daniel Craig era James Bond has come to screeching halt’

The iconic action spy thriller franchise ‘James Bond’ is on a hiatus as there has been no work done post the Daniel Craig era. It is not even decided who will take up the mantle of the MI6 agent 007 after Craig left the franchise with ‘No Time To Die’, as revealed by producer Barbara Broccoli.
Broccoli, who helms the film series with her half-brother Michael G. Wilson, explained that it’s important for the next installment to depict the way the world has changed since Craig took on the role of James Bond in 2006, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The character of James Bond has been reinvented and modernised over the decades with many new iterations covering different eras, episodes, and socio-political scenarios. Reflecting back on how 007 has evolved over the years, Barbara Broccoli said: “I go back to ‘Golden Eye’ when everyone was saying ‘The cold war is over, the wall is over, Bond is dead, no need for Bond, the whole world’s at peace and now there’s no villains’ — and boy was that wrong! When it came to Craig in the title role, the makers “wanted to focus on what a 21st-century hero would look like.” (IANS)
