And now the saga closes on Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond. Well timed RUclips algorithm, well timed. Let’s raise a toast to Mr. Craig’s 00-highlights, shaken not stirred of course.
@@magoslucius4245 wait actually? I didn’t notice it saying he will return tho, it would probably be ( SPOILER 🚨 ALERT) that girl that was also named 007 in the movie remember, I think she will be the next main character while James Bond is dead😔
This is basically like when Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker. People throw hate at the actor when he was cast, then the movie came out people slapped themselves in the face. Lesson learned, never hate a casting announcement before the movie comes out and it's best to give the actor a chance
Daniel Craig and Eva Green had the best chemistry and were the most convincing as a couple. It was heartbreaking at the end of Casino Royale- and it took 4 more films to wrap up the effects of Vesper on Bond. Casino Royale and Skyfall were amazing.
I believe it was indeed a great chemistry but the most heartbreaking moment for him was when M dies. Death of vesper looked like he lost something he'd have loved to have and probably dreamt to have since beginning. But the loss of M was a loss of a huge part of himself.
Its being hammered on every media channel around the world on and off line... partly because its been finished for over a year and held for COVID to make sure it could be seen in a theatre, not on streaming. So if YT didn't pick it up.. there would be something wrong :)
I remember being very disappointed and puzzled. I genuinely thought they had made a big mistake. Then I saw Layer Cake and said, "wait a minute, this could work".Then they released Casino Royale, and it blew my mind. Without a doubt the best Bond movie in decades, and Craig the best Bond since Connery (early Connery 1962-1965).
To me, it's the Ben Affleck/batman situation. The dude was cast and I was like "oh cool! Not my first choice but cool choice." And then I rewatched the town and I was like "oh, he's an angry, older and yet vulnerable character and that's like classic comic book batman." And then the images of him in the costume came out and then you see in the trailer and I'm like "That IS batman!"
And 15 years later, we can say Daniel Craig did a fine good job as Bond. One of the best. And he's proved a lot of people wrong. He's right. Casino Royal had a good script and is one of the best Bond films ever. Well done Daniel Craig!!😊👏
He personifies Bond's grittiness and deeper emotional side. It is fair to say that the audience had never felt a more personal connection to Bond before Daniel came into the fray. His James Bond feels more vulnerable yet more masculine too.
Funny thing was, when they casted him, everyone was like: wrong choice! What is this decision?! After his first outing in Casino Royale?! Arguably the best bond film we've ever had. How ironic?!😂
@@stevem2323 that's when shit hits the fan. I don't mind if it's a female agent with a different alias. And have a brand new arc and story for them but if they do cast bond, as in James Bond, as a female. The franchise will probably go to shit.
I hated this casting at first. I wanted Clive Owen lol. Five minutes into Casino Royale I was sold. Now he's my favorite Bond hands down. Gonna miss him!
@@jamesdelo3031 It’s the same stupid outrage, it’s a fictional character, Bond being black would not be a problem, the only main aspect they need to keep is him being British and male, everything else is fine. If someone wants a female James Bond then start a brand new franchise.
He looks so goofy compared to how he looks in the first movie. That's a wild transformation. Like they added 10 years to him and lathered him in grit. He looks like a killer in Casino Royale here he looks like a substitute teacher lol.
@mark lee supremacy I mean the time frame from this press event to the start of fling for Casino Royal, that was not a long time but he comes off TOTALLY different. Just great acting, great body work, and great style artist. Everyone in this clip looks like they walked out 1991 lol.
All Bonds are unique and have created a certain individuality in the role. None are the best. IF there is a best Bond then there is only one - the creator Ian Fleming.
Thanks for posting this! I have been a huge Daniel Craig fan for several years now and am looking forward to Casino Royale. If his other films are any indication, this may be the best Bond film yet!
Growing up in the 90's, Brosnan was the only James Bond I knew. I remember how weird it felt to have a new Bond in 2006, but here we are once more. The end of an era and beginning of a new one.

After watching all of Craig's films, I got chills after he said "It's not a question of redefining, but it's a question of taking it somewhere maybe where it's never gone before."
2006 - Casino Royale 2008 - Quantum of Solace 2012 - Skyfall 2015 - Spectre 2021 - No Time To Die (and my bestie film) thanks you Mr. Bond :) You're not alone.
I got recommended this in 2023. I can’t quite believe I was 12 when this film came out when I saw it in the cinema. even at a young age, I remember thinking this will be a complete disaster as I absolutely adored Pierce Brosnan. In about two hours and 20 minutes, my opinion changed, and changed forever. Even though I disliked three of his films, they all had fantastic moments and he was never the problem with those films. Always classy, always cool, will probably always be my favourite bond ❤
Anyone here after watching the new movie? I never watched Bond films until Daniel Craig came along. He hooked me in and attracted my attention; ever since then, I have loved every bit of his movies. I love that depth he brings to Bond's character and that part of humanity in him. His movies literally changed the face of Bond movies. The cinematography, the action sequences, made the movies way more darker that it ever was. Loved how in the end of the interview Daniel talked about rarity of James Bond movies. You've added a part of your personality and life to the cinema history, Mr. Craig, and it is a valuable input. Thank you Daniel Craig. Thank u for great movies like; Casino Royale, Skyfall and NOW No Time To Die; my favourite Bond movie/ any movie of all time. I'll miss you being my James Bond, the one I grew up watching and still do, reminiscing how cool you are all while still looking up to you. ❤ To whoever is the next James Bond they have got huge shoes to fit in. This gent has been the best Bond ever. His Bond has taken the films into the stratosphere. I’ve loved the series since I was a little girl and cried as No Time To Die ended. Oh my days what a guy. Daniel Craig’s time as Bond is already over… 5 films…. 16 years….. where did those years go?! He’s been fantastic as Bond. ❤❤❤❤❤ Daniel Craig has been my personal favourite James Bond, he’s set the standard really high for the next actor whoever they might be and I hope that the film is as good as I’m hoping that it will be. If I ever get to meet the bloke I’ll be sure to buy him a drink or ten to say thanks. Daniel Craig excels all the James Bonds and brings it to this whole new level. This man made a whole new world with his time frame and the position he was in while playing James Bond. Daniel Craig is the absolute epitome of any actor reforming, improving & developing a movie to a 110% piece of work; always going above and beyond all expectations. He truly brings the movies to the top. Thanks Daniel Craig, Ml to my hero Craig... Daniel Craig :)
This franchise was blessed to have him step into the shoes of 007. Hands down!🙌🏻 The bond I grew up watching & absolutely loving!! There would NEVER be another Daniel!❤️
Somehow I understand that criticism what Craig got in 2006 before the movie. He didn't looked like a good bond actor with longer hair and dark brows, actually he looked like different human in the Casino Royale! But in the end, Craig was one of the best actors of Bond, maybe the best.
He's been a great bond. Timothy dalton is hugely underrated too in my opinion. They hugely rebooted the franchise with him as they did with craig and it worked so well
Dalton was much darker, and more serious, Moore's bond was too jokey and too full of outlandish gadgits, licence to kill is still very watchable unlike many of the Moore and Connery movies which look very dated now.
@@DizzyBusy that tends to date every film made prior to the 00s to different degrees, it's hard to get past sometimes, but that's how things were and still are depending where you live in the world, I'm looking at you Afghanistan.
@@nicolajohnson1887 Both of Dalton's films are very good, and he was a great Bond. It's a crying shame he never got to do another couple due to the legal issues going on with the studios.
Every single bond has its own identity……it really depends o the actor, craig couldn’t of been in the bros an movies and Vice versa….gotta play to the actors strengths. Hoping Henry cavil is the next bond…. Much like brosnan was wanted for bond when dalton got it…..Cahill was to young when he was a contender for the role before Craig was cast
Reporter: "Are you looking forward to becoming a legend?" Craig: "I don't know about that." 15 years hence, No Time to Die (Craig's final Bond film) is out. The world *some folks wiping tears* : "The perfect James Bond of this generation."
Damn this was so long ago, but looking back at this, its fascinating. They got the best guy despite initial backlash from what i gathered. Its weird seeing daniel him with long blond hair but man he embodies bond, he revitalized the franchise and he did became best bond ever, we will miss him
I remember this very announcement and thought OMG him??? he cant be Bond, But.... seriously he is the best Bond ever in my eyes, he plays it so well and it suits him so very much! Hope he plays it a few more times!
I've read all of Ian Fleming's James Bond books and I think Daniel Craig's is the most authentic portrayal of 007. A stone cold killer at heart. All the nookie was just for sport.
Heath Ledger as Joker, Daniel Craig as Bond, Robert Pattinson and Michael Keaton as Batman, thank goodness they can prove the haters wrong when they're cast as the characters they're playing
@@christopherlyman3629 The haters were proven wrong the minute the trailers dropped for all of those other films. Why should we treat Pattinson's case any different?
@@umbrella3705 They weren’t proven wrong the minute the trailer dropped they were proven wrong in the middle of the movie released, everyone thought Jared Leto‘s joker was going to be good after the trailer but look how that turned out.
@@umbrella3705 not really... all we saw robert doing was brooding... He does that pretty easily.. I feel he would be an awesome batman but i cant say so with full confidence as yet
Incredible to think what a PR disaster this launch was at the time. Seemed like Craig was toast before a frame had been shot. Didn't work out like that though.
He’s been the best James Bond, had the most consistent James Bond films and Casino Royale is 100% the best James Bond film and to think people hated this casting cos he didn’t look like the traditional dark hair, brown eyes bond
I grew up with Daniel Craig being James Bond and it's quite crazy to think it has come to an end, he began when I was 5 years old and I'm now 20. One of the best, definitely transformed the role and made it his own, to which I think is the best.
Glad to see people owning up to the fact they were wrong about him. That's refreshing. Usually people keep quiet about that and pretend they were always in favour of something. I always had faith he could work in the role ever since watching Layer Cake. To be fair, in hindsight, his long, floppy blond hair in this press interview probably didn't do him any favours.
REPORTER: “Are you looking forward to becoming legend?” DANIEL: “Oh, I don’t know about that.” Modest as you were then, and to you are now, you did become that, sir... that you did... 😎
I didn't know him. I do remember seeing this dramatic introduction. After seeing Casino Royale (2006), i had to 'reverse engineer' everything else he'd appeared in. He is an outstanding James Bond.
So I’ve learned a short phrase - don’t judge the book by its cover. I do remember how every one say no to this Bond before Casino Royale, and how he become a legend now. I just watched No Time to Die from cinema ! And YT gave me this.
I remember at the time I thought Craig was an odd and curious choice. Very odd. But of course, we were silenced by his brilliance in the role, which he made his own. He defined a new era in the Bond franchise and Casino Royale is one of my favourite movies.
I was 9 years old still watching brosnan bond and playing the video games. Ace combat 3, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 1-3, I was still in love with Jak n daxter 1-3 waiting for a 4, 007 night fire, the Incredible Hulk, Need Fir Speed Underground 2, Most Wanted Good times.
It's very interesting to look back at this in hindsight, as Mr Craig's final outing as Bond is almost upon us. I remember thinking at the time "hang on, he was f*ing Geordie Peacock!!" However, oh how he surpassed expectations in Casino Royale, and the No Time To Die trailers suggest that he is going to go out in style (BTW if they kill Bond, I'm done for good). The writing has perhaps been a bit up and down, but he absolutely nailed the portrayal required of him in every outing IMHO. The rest of his work both before and during his tenure as Bond highlight what a damn fine actor he is, the Steve McQueen of his day, and much more to boot. Whilst we never truly know our 'heroes', he seems like an all round good bloke, and I'd like to think if any of us bumped into him in a quiet moment, were polite and respectful and didn't behave like a starstruck idiot, he'd be ok in return. So via the medium of the ether, I raise a glass to Daniel Craig, successful custodian of the 007 role, and wish both him and his successor the best for their future careers.
@navigate48 I hope your contact was feeding you disinformation. As the actor himself said the other day, new parts should be written, and not old roles recycled that devalue those taking them. James Bond is a white male; Idris Elba can’t play him as much as Daniel Craig couldn’t play Virgil Tibbs. However, there’s a certain undeniable logic to James Bond dying and there being a new 007. It’ll be a shame although it’s also difficult to see where another actor could take the Bond role. Mixed feelings now.
@@petercampbell8694 I guess that’s the way this could go, James Bond dies, and there’s a new 007…called whatever the new MI6 agent assigned to the seventh ‘00’ position happens to be called…I sincerely hope not though.
He has potential can’t wait to see if this new role works out for him.

Fact: the casting of Daniel Craig as Bond is one of the greatest decisions ever made in film history.
Facts
Casino Royale was good but all his other films were shite and actively deconstructed the Bond character.
And what a bond he was. He will be sadly missed. He did for Bond what Hugh Jackman did for Wolverine.
RDJ for Iron Man...
The people who hired him really had good eye, because most of us couldn't have imagined that this would be the great idea it was at the end.
At that time no one could imagine he would become the best Bond ever.
See how times have changed !!! and now many praised him as the best Bond including me 👏👏
I got recommended this in 2023. I can’t quite believe I was 12 when this film came out when I saw it in the cinema. even at a young age, I remember thinking this will be a complete disaster as I absolutely adored Pierce Brosnan. In about two hours and 20 minutes, my opinion changed, and changed forever. Even though I disliked three of his films, they all had fantastic moments and he was never the problem with those films.
Always classy, always cool, will probably always be my favourite bond ❤
"Are you looking forward to becoming a legend". Legend he is indeed
He'd make a great James Bond. I'd say he'd be a great bond for 15 years and 5 movies.
I reckon your right about that one 😉
Oh god i forgot about Quantum of Solace lol
He looks like a funny guy, I think his first James Bond movie should allow him to show off his comedic loveable side
Turned out to be the best Bond ❤
Anyone here after watching the new movie?
I never watched Bond films until Daniel Craig came along. He hooked me in and attracted my attention; ever since then, I have loved every bit of his movies. I love that depth he brings to Bond's character and that part of humanity in him.
His movies literally changed the face of Bond movies. The cinematography, the action sequences, made the movies way more darker that it ever was. Loved how in the end of the interview Daniel talked about rarity of James Bond movies. You've added a part of your personality and life to the cinema history, Mr. Craig, and it is a valuable input.
Thank you Daniel Craig. Thank u for great movies like; Casino Royale, Skyfall and NOW No Time To Die; my favourite Bond movie/ any movie of all time. I'll miss you being my James Bond, the one I grew up watching and still do, reminiscing how cool you are all while still looking up to you. ❤
To whoever is the next James Bond they have got huge shoes to fit in. This gent has been the best Bond ever. His Bond has taken the films into the stratosphere. I’ve loved the series since I was a little girl and cried as No Time To Die ended. Oh my days what a guy.
Daniel Craig’s time as Bond is already over… 5 films…. 16 years….. where did those years go?! He’s been fantastic as Bond. ❤❤❤❤❤
Daniel Craig has been my personal favourite James Bond, he’s set the standard really high for the next actor whoever they might be and I hope that the film is as good as I’m hoping that it will be. If I ever get to meet the bloke I’ll be sure to buy him a drink or ten to say thanks.
Daniel Craig excels all the James Bonds and brings it to this whole new level. This man made a whole new world with his time frame and the position he was in while playing James Bond. Daniel Craig is the absolute epitome of any actor reforming, improving & developing a movie to a 110% piece of work; always going above and beyond all expectations. He truly brings the movies to the top. Thanks Daniel Craig, Ml to my hero Craig... Daniel Craig :)
he's a really good actor. he is not Bond, he is diverse. Bond is just one part.
✋me
A most wonderful tribute to a completely dedicated and talented actor. Thank you for saying it so well
@@kweejibodali7009 I agree
This franchise was blessed to have him step into the shoes of 007. Hands down!🙌🏻 The bond I grew up watching & absolutely loving!!
There would NEVER be another Daniel!❤️
Exactly my thought...he smashed it...he exploded into bond with the breathtaking chaser at the opening of casino royal
I certainly hope there won't be another Daniel Craig
Somehow I understand that criticism what Craig got in 2006 before the movie. He didn't looked like a good bond actor with longer hair and dark brows, actually he looked like different human in the Casino Royale! But in the end, Craig was one of the best actors of Bond, maybe the best.
He was the best bond from 2006-2021 15 years later he’s still great with his final film
"Are you looking forward to becoming a legend?"
What a fucking question
He's been a great bond. Timothy dalton is hugely underrated too in my opinion. They hugely rebooted the franchise with him as they did with craig and it worked so well
Dalton was much darker, and more serious, Moore's bond was too jokey and too full of outlandish gadgits, licence to kill is still very watchable unlike many of the Moore and Connery movies which look very dated now.
@@nicolajohnson1887 the thing that dated Connery's movies the most for me are the women and how they were generally treated
@@DizzyBusy that tends to date every film made prior to the 00s to different degrees, it's hard to get past sometimes, but that's how things were and still are depending where you live in the world, I'm looking at you Afghanistan.
@@nicolajohnson1887 Both of Dalton's films are very good, and he was a great Bond. It's a crying shame he never got to do another couple due to the legal issues going on with the studios.
Every single bond has its own identity……it really depends o the actor, craig couldn’t of been in the bros an movies and Vice versa….gotta play to the actors strengths. Hoping Henry cavil is the next bond…. Much like brosnan was wanted for bond when dalton got it…..Cahill was to young when he was a contender for the role before Craig was cast
Reporter: "Are you looking forward to becoming a legend?"
Craig: "I don't know about that."
15 years hence, No Time to Die (Craig's final Bond film) is out.
The world *some folks wiping tears* : "The perfect James Bond of this generation."
I’m so proud of Daniel he proved us all wrong. Wonderful actor. Thankyou best James Bond.
Damn 14 years ago I believe this is the oldest video I have ever seen on RUclips
Yeah was going to say the same thing
@navigate48 Mate on point 🤣🤣
The real question is how and why is this getting recommended to me after 15 years
@@BASPradeepRaj No time to die, his final appearance as James Bond has released. I am *assuming* you are not a bond fan🙃🙏
Back then you tube was like a 2 little girls lemonade stand. A much better place tho.
Damn this was so long ago, but looking back at this, its fascinating. They got the best guy despite initial backlash from what i gathered. Its weird seeing daniel him with long blond hair but man he embodies bond, he revitalized the franchise and he did became best bond ever, we will miss him
Ahh it was 2005 bruh….casino royal came out in 06…..it was only 15 yrs ago
Casino Royal was ok… all Craig’s other films are mediocre
man i remember coming here 15 years ago saying this guy would be terrible...times have changed
This has aged like a glass of fine wine, or should I say, like a glass of Vesper Martini?
The weird thing is that until it was set in stone that Craig was Bond the Person most speculated to replace Brosnan was actually Brosnan.
@@jackevans1092 People assumed for a long time that Brosnan would return for the film
I remember this very announcement and thought OMG him??? he cant be Bond, But.... seriously he is the best Bond ever in my eyes, he plays it so well and it suits him so very much! Hope he plays it a few more times!
He seems like a good Bond actor. His first movie is probably gonna be quite good.
He did alteady a movie with James
@@sirangelamerkel902 It's an obvious joke.
I've read all of Ian Fleming's James Bond books and I think Daniel Craig's is the most authentic portrayal of 007. A stone cold killer at heart. All the nookie was just for sport.
a real thug.
Timothy Dalton was the most accurate portrayal of Ian Flemings bond but craig was good too
wow this has been on youtube for 10 years
Edit: 14
Edit: 16
junkb0x ! 12 now. Ancient!
13 years now bud.
15 years... Coming soon !!
For 14, now.

And he went on to become a legend. The greatest Bond of all time. Legends don’t die. 🔥
“Are you looking forward to becoming a legend?”
The man turned around and became one.
Heath Ledger as Joker, Daniel Craig as Bond, Robert Pattinson and Michael Keaton as Batman, thank goodness they can prove the haters wrong when they're cast as the characters they're playing
Robert Pattinson has yet to prove anyone wrong
@@christopherlyman3629 The haters were proven wrong the minute the trailers dropped for all of those other films. Why should we treat Pattinson's case any different?
@@umbrella3705 They weren’t proven wrong the minute the trailer dropped they were proven wrong in the middle of the movie released, everyone thought Jared Leto‘s joker was going to be good after the trailer but look how that turned out.
Robert Pattinson is not on that list he hasn’t proven himself yet to be considered with all those other names.
@@umbrella3705 not really... all we saw robert doing was brooding... He does that pretty easily.. I feel he would be an awesome batman but i cant say so with full confidence as yet
The British press is wild “are you looking forward to being a legend” lol
I'll never forget how mad I was - seeing this and thinking "He'll never fit the part."
Never been more glad to be proven wrong :)
Daniel Craig looks like he'd be the most physical 007 yet. Good luck to him. For Queen and Country lad!
Sent this comment 15 years too late lad
Incredible to think what a PR disaster this launch was at the time. Seemed like Craig was toast before a frame had been shot. Didn't work out like that though.
Thx RUclips for recomending me this now in 2021. I nearly missed the News completly
He was the best James Bond I have ever seen!
He’s been the best James Bond, had the most consistent James Bond films and Casino Royale is 100% the best James Bond film and to think people hated this casting cos he didn’t look like the traditional dark hair, brown eyes bond
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The most inconsistent Bond would be more accurate. Casino Royale and Skyfall were great but the rest was either mediocre or trash.
That shit is unbelievable
And what a stint he had, personally my favourite ever Bond. Thanks for all the great memories Daniel.
Watching this video after... finishing No time to die 💯🔥
I grew up with Daniel Craig being James Bond and it's quite crazy to think it has come to an end, he began when I was 5 years old and I'm now 20. One of the best, definitely transformed the role and made it his own, to which I think is the best.
I’m 23. And I grew up with pierce brosnan
Umm no u didn’t….. you were born after goldeneye and tomorrow never dies….
@@AdamWatt00 I’m just meant that I watched his movies and played the games as a kid as I grew up. Goldeneye on the N64 was my favorite game
I watched Casino Royal when I was 9 so I definitely relate. Daniel Craig's my favourite Bond
Glad to see people owning up to the fact they were wrong about him. That's refreshing. Usually people keep quiet about that and pretend they were always in favour of something.
I always had faith he could work in the role ever since watching Layer Cake.
To be fair, in hindsight, his long, floppy blond hair in this press interview probably didn't do him any favours.
Daniel is going to be hard to replace.
18 years later we are about to live this again in 2024 🔥🔥🔥
Just watched No Time To Die and I'm sad that we won't see him as Bond again.
BEST pixel art ever
REPORTER: “Are you looking forward to becoming legend?”
DANIEL: “Oh, I don’t know about that.”
Modest as you were then, and to you are now, you did become that, sir... that you did... 😎
I was a doubter at the time.. but looking back now, you can see glimpses of just how good he was going to be.
I'm friends with one of the marines that was on the boat with him that day. He's recalled this day to me a few times. Must have been so awesome.
Best Bond since Connery..love these two the most
Yeahhh these two are by far the best Bonds ! i prefer Craig a bit more
& look where we are today!
I didn't know him. I do remember seeing this dramatic introduction. After seeing Casino Royale (2006), i had to 'reverse engineer' everything else he'd appeared in. He is an outstanding James Bond.
So I’ve learned a short phrase - don’t judge the book by its cover. I do remember how every one say no to this Bond before Casino Royale, and how he become a legend now. I just watched No Time to Die from cinema ! And YT gave me this.
I remember at the time I thought Craig was an odd and curious choice. Very odd. But of course, we were silenced by his brilliance in the role, which he made his own. He defined a new era in the Bond franchise and Casino Royale is one of my favourite movies.
You're brain washed lol
@@skuastone9698 ok skua
I was 9 years old still watching brosnan bond and playing the video games. Ace combat 3, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 1-3, I was still in love with Jak n daxter 1-3 waiting for a 4, 007 night fire, the Incredible Hulk, Need Fir Speed Underground 2, Most Wanted
Good times.
Honestly came out to be my favorite bond yet, he raised the bar for future bonds and I hope to see more
It's very interesting to look back at this in hindsight, as Mr Craig's final outing as Bond is almost upon us. I remember thinking at the time "hang on, he was f*ing Geordie Peacock!!" However, oh how he surpassed expectations in Casino Royale, and the No Time To Die trailers suggest that he is going to go out in style (BTW if they kill Bond, I'm done for good). The writing has perhaps been a bit up and down, but he absolutely nailed the portrayal required of him in every outing IMHO. The rest of his work both before and during his tenure as Bond highlight what a damn fine actor he is, the Steve McQueen of his day, and much more to boot. Whilst we never truly know our 'heroes', he seems like an all round good bloke, and I'd like to think if any of us bumped into him in a quiet moment, were polite and respectful and didn't behave like a starstruck idiot, he'd be ok in return. So via the medium of the ether, I raise a glass to Daniel Craig, successful custodian of the 007 role, and wish both him and his successor the best for their future careers.
@navigate48 I hope your contact was feeding you disinformation. As the actor himself said the other day, new parts should be written, and not old roles recycled that devalue those taking them. James Bond is a white male; Idris Elba can’t play him as much as Daniel Craig couldn’t play Virgil Tibbs. However, there’s a certain undeniable logic to James Bond dying and there being a new 007. It’ll be a shame although it’s also difficult to see where another actor could take the Bond role. Mixed feelings now.
@navigate48 Hope not - If it goes the way I suspect then it’s 50 years down the toilet! 🙁
@@philsmith2501 Then if another actor takes the mantle of the 007, how can the character be called James Bond? 🤔
@@petercampbell8694 I guess that’s the way this could go, James Bond dies, and there’s a new 007…called whatever the new MI6 agent assigned to the seventh ‘00’ position happens to be called…I sincerely hope not though.
@@philsmith2501 Sad news for You: They killed Bond.
Salute to the man who uploaded this 15 years ago.
I knew that Craig would be the best Bond because I had seen his previous films and knew how good he was. He certainly proved me right.
Man! This guy has no time to die. He’s a legend!!!
Just watched no time to die and RUclips doing it's work
Gonna miss him as bond
I literally cried in the end
@@ashutoshporichha7623 me too. I never thought a Bond film would make me cry but here we are 😢
Watching this after watching No Time To Die a couple hours earlier really hits you with feels. Even men shed a tear to that.
I'm sitting in the cinema just about to watch it!
@@sarahsanders9587 buckle up for the ending
I never thought a Bond film would make me cry but here we are 😢
Daniel we missed you , thank you and the best bond
People doubted him and gave him shit but he proved everyone wrong by becoming the greatest Bond ever.
Yesterday I watched No Time To Die and today I got this in my youtube recommendations
Love that this is a 15 year old vid, and not a recent upload.
Cracking work algorithm!!
Nobody knows in 2006 this man is going to be the best bond ever once again it's no time to die love you (Daniel or bond james bond. )
