When Collider asked if the next Bond flick would be the bookend of the Vesper Revenge “trilogy”, tuxedoed tough-guy Daniel Craig succinctly said: “No fucking way. I’m done with that story.”
He did clarify a bit further: “We’ve finished this story as far as I’m concerned. We’ve got a great set of bad guys. There is an organization that we can use whenever we want to. The relationship between Bond and M is secure and Felix is secure. Let’s try and find where Moneypenny came from and where Q comes from. Let’s do all that and have some fun with it.”
Hopefully that fun won’t come at the further cost of whatever realism was established in ROYALE — while entertaining enough, QUANTUM started to approach Brosnan-esque levels of ludicrous (that exploding desert resort made only slightly more sense than DIE ANOTHER DAY’s colossal ice hotel and laser plane).
