Daniel Craig's grounded version of 007 was perfect for the 00s, but Bond 26 now needs to bring back James Bond's comedic side for numerous reasons.
The James Bond franchise needs to bring 007’s comedic side back into focus in Bond 26 after the critical and commercial success of Daniel Craig’s more serious take on the character. Since his inception, the suave super spy James Bond has always teetered on the verge of ridiculousness.
Bond 26 Needs To Compete With Fun Blockbusters From The Da Vinci Code to Batman Begins to the Bourne trilogy, post-9/11 blockbusters were almost entirely grim and self-serious. In contrast, the biggest box office hits of the early 2020s have been Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World: Dominion, and Fast & Furious sequels—a lighter, sillier, and more self-aware breed of blockbuster. For Bond 26 to compete in this brutal blockbuster marketplace, 007 needs to lean into his fun side again.
Bond 26 Can’t Copy Craig’s Movies Replicating Daniel Craig’s style in the 2020s will leave viewers missing the absent actor. As such, the best approach for the franchise to take for Bond 26 is to do a huge tonal shift, leaning into comedic relief. Paloma’s No Time To Die role alone proved that critics and audiences alike want a more fun take on 007 and this could reignite interest in the franchise after the long wait for the announcement of Bond 26’s new star.
Christoph Waltz’s Blofeld revealed that he was Bond’s secret brother in Spectre before 007 escaped via an exploding wristwatch gadget. This story could have been lifted verbatim from a Bond parody from decades earlier, but it wasn’t the first time that Craig’s Bond reintroduced some of the franchise’s welcome silliness.
