What Bond fans across the world are really feeling right now is uncertainty.
When will the next Bond movie be released?
Will that movie be treated as a cinematic event?
On top of all of that, the who will play James Bond?
question once again lingers.
Still, a far more interesting and telling question is: Who will be James Bonds next villain?
Just look at whatThe Boysgets up to.
But the future of Bond villainy is about more than Jeff Bezos.
The villains of Craigs tenure often had a personal connection to Bond and were typically more grounded.
Will that villain have a lair?
Will they have an allegiance to a real country or political ideology?
What will they think of algorithms?
Will a veteran actress finally get the chance to have a little fun as an over-the-top foil?
In other words, the possibilities are endless.
But maybe the answer is as simple as S.P.E.C.T.R.E.
Suddenly, the world needed James Bond as much as England and other Western powers did.
Perhaps we find ourselves on the precipice of the next S.P.E.C.T.R.E.
Of course it all has to start somewhere.
Instead we often look toward Bonds rotating villains for a clearer sign of the trends of the times.
