James Bond: Did Barbara Broccoli just tease Daniel Craig’s 007 will DIE in No Time To Die?

Even before No Time To Die’s title was announced and Danny Boyle was still signed on as James Bond 25’s director, there was much speculation that Daniel Craig’s 007 could be killed off. Such a move has never been made in the history of the franchise, but following Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine kicking the bucket in Logan and Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man in Avengers Endgame, could Ian Fleming’s spy be about to go the same way? Certainly, there were rumours of the “creative differences” between Craig, 007 producers and Boyle being over whether or not to kill off Bond.

And considering they already had Judi Dench’s M die in Skyfall, will they go the whole hog and have Craig’s incarnation go out in a blaze of sacrificial glory?

Unlike previous James Bond movies, the incumbent’s era has been one long five-episode story arc over 14 years.

No Time To Die is somehow going to conclude the narrative that began with Casino Royale.

Now producer Barbara Broccoli has confirmed this in a new interview, which pushes speculation further that they could well kill off Craig’s Bond after all.

She added: “I think he is really extraordinary. He’s never been better.”

The completion of Craig’s Bond’s “emotional arc” is certainly intriguing.

It’s worth pointing out that last year Bond news site MI6 HQ reported a press release from Universal Pictures that started off calling the film No Time To Die, before naming it A Day To Die.

Express received the same text, but without the latter, in what could well be a typo.

Of course, if it’s not a typo, there’s the other possibility that A Day To Die is another title that was almost used.

This seems perfectly reasonable considering its likeness to not only No Time To Die, but also A Reason To Die.

The latter was another allegedly binned title from a leaked photo taken just before the Bond 25 live reveal in April, when they decided not to announce the film’s name just yet.
