The more we went through the series I felt that I was able to tap into humanity. He has a fairytale dream of having a house, a job, and living together as father and son. He could have gone on his own, but he wanted to take his son with him and build a life. Over the last seven years, that is what drives him, and all of this plan to go get to Marbella. The fact that he can find this incredible love for Ryan. My final conclusion on Tommy is that I don’t think he is a psychopath, he’s just incredibly damaged. So why not give him a respectful swan song worthy of his talents? After all, Brosnan not only still looks fantastic with his striking silver hair and rugged sexiness, but ever since leaving Bond behind he’s turned in some of the best work of his career in films like Roman Polanski’s “The Ghost Writer,” the hit “Mamma Mia!” movies and the AMC series “The Son.” Perhaps, then, it’s finally time to renew his license to kill.Happy Valley S3,29-01-2023,5,Tommy Lee Royce (JAMES NORTON),Lookout Point,Matt Squire Matt Squire Sean Connery was enticed to don the bow tie once again for 1971’s “Diamonds Are Forever” after a less successful try by George Lazenby in 1969’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” Pierce Brosnan’s unceremonious dismissal from the role of James Bond after starring in four financially successful 007 movies still rubs countless fans the wrong way, and many continue to hold out hope that the 69-year old Irish actor might one day return to the franchise in a standalone adventure, not unlike Hugh Jackman’s late-period Wolverine film “Logan.” And considering that Brosnan’s final Bond film, “Die Another Day,” was the highest-grossing entry in the series up to that time, it’s clear that his popularity in the role was never in question. It’s not unprecedented for Bond actors to come back after a break. The most important criteria was if the actor could bring the necessary gravitas, style and charm to playing Britain’s most famous secret agent. So as the James Bond franchise turns 60, we looked at actors born in the Commonwealth, at actors well into their 60s and 70s, and, yes, at several actors who are women. Of course, as Agent 007 knows better than most, rules are meant to be bent, if not broken outright. So before diving into our extensive list of possible candidates, it’s worth acknowledging that producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson have been clear about three things: The next Bond should be played by a Brit the next Bond should be young enough to be able to continue in the role for at least 15 years and the next Bond will be a man, not a woman. (It never made much sense that Sean Connery’s Bond from the 1960s and Pierce Brosnan’s Bond from the 1990s were the same person, anyway.) Of course, the next Bond movie could easily set that established timeline aside, and take place in an alternate Bond universe altogether. If the next film follows the timeline of “No Time to Die,” then James Bond is dead and Lashana Lynch’s character Nomi adopted his MI6 agent number. Here’s what we do know: The new Bond will almost certainly not be the familiar 007. But with stories flying about who Bond producers are meeting with, fans are hoping it might soon be revealed who will take over as Ian Fleming’s iconic character. The rumor mill is beginning to heat up, even though “Bond 26” won’t go into production until 2024 at the earliest, with Hollywood strikes possibly delaying production even more. Ever since Daniel Craig announced that he would be turning in the tuxedo and putting down the martini glass, the race has been on to decide who will be chosen as the next James Bond.
