No Time To Die is finally available to stream! We have waited so long. I’m watching it tonight.

To celebrate his last time in the James Bond role, Apple TV released a documentary will be released on Apple TV on September 7th. The documentary’s trailer shows that it will be covering Craig’s time in the role including the struggles he faced. “I thought I wouldn’t know how to handle it,” Craig said, “But I knew we were doing something really special.” It seems that the backlash to him being chosen as Bond will be covered as well.

Daniel Craig’s time as James Bond has been one hell of a ride. It started with the beloved Casino Royale and many thought it was going to end with the disappointing Skyfall. Now that Craig is retiring from the role, how long do we have to wait until we get a new James Bond? The last period without one was about 4 years but nowadays it could be longer than that. When we do eventually get a new Bond who will it be? Idris Elba has been mentioned as a good candidate but judging by thee racist backlash this fan casting received years ago, there’s a possibility this won’t happen.

I personally enjoyed all of Daniel Craig’s Bond films except for Skyfall and I am going to miss him in the role. Whoever takes over for him certainly has big shoes to fill.
