More than six decades after James Bond first appeared on the big screen, the search for Daniel Craig’s successor has become a revealing debate about the future of one of cinema’s most enduring, and endearing, franchises. “From the cold-blooded sexual magnetism of Sean Connery to the more tongue-in-cheek take of Roger Moore, to Daniel Craig’s gritty realism, there’s really a James Bond for everyone.” But who will inherit the licence to thrill? FRANCE 24’s Emerald Maxwell takes us on this exciting edge-of-your-seat adventure with a “view to a kill”. Should Bond remain faithful to his traditional identity, or reinvent himself to reflect changing attitudes towards gender, diversity and contemporary heroism?
