Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Harris) and Q (Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE.

“You know, it sounds bad but I’ve been left a wealthy man by doing this”. The imagery of death being right behind Bond is fairly evident, especially since Skyfall actually started with his presumed demise – but they likely won’t be able to go that far twice. I was very relaxed about what I did.
Given this assorted group of sexy men, it looks like the future of the Bond franchise is in better than great hands. “It might be a nice fantasy – that’s debatable – but the reality, after a couple of months…”.
