James Bond 25: 6 Biggest Rumours You Need To Know
1. Kickstarting A Bond Cinematic Universe
Word has it that the Broccoli family is looking on in envy at the Marvel Cinematic Universe next door and are hatching a plot to give Bond the same treatment.
Could Bond 25 mark the beginning of the Bond Cinematic Universe, or the BCU, as the internet is bound to call it?
It sounds like a load of thunderballs on paper, but there are some creative directions they could take it in.
How about a TV spinoff featuring a young version of Judi Dench's M, or one focussing on the adventures of Jefferey Wright's Felix Leiter across the pond? Hey, it could work.
Bond 25 could potentially sow the seeds for a series of connected spinoffs by introducing bunch of new 00 Agents who will eventually embark on solo missions, but hopefully the film will have better things to do than set up sequels.
Moreover, the Bond universe only exists in a realm of speculation at present.
The world was first introduced to the idea following a tweet by The Tracking Board's Jeff Sneider, but until the Broccoli family offers us any context, file this one under 'something that should probably never happen'.
