15 Interesting Facts About The Daniel Craig Bond Films

11. The Original Quantum Of Solace Ending Was Much Different

The ending to Quantum Of Solace that we got to see resolved the emotional themes of the story and left the sequel without any burden to wrap up loose plot threads. This was not always the case, however, as the original ending was vastly different and would have directly set up a sequel.

The proposed scene featured Bond going to Quantum member Guy Haines€™s house where he was meeting Mr. White. After killing White, Bond would introduce himself as €œBond, James Bond,€ and the film would end.

Despite going so far as to shoot this ending, it was wisely decided to not handcuff the next installment with more Quantum storylines. Likewise, it reads almost exactly like the Casino Royale ending in a manner that just feels lazy. In the long-term, it also would have prevented Mr. White from appearing in Spectre.

While the scene is not available online, the tie-in video game used a portion of this original ending if you feel inclined to experience this alternate version.
