The last hero of my generation must've been the late James Bond. The suave, supersmart spy and secret agent on Her Majesty's service has not been seen on the wide screen since 2021 in "No Time to Die," where he was killed to protect the producers' franchise.

- JULLIE Y. DAZA

Will there ever be a resurrection? How will it happen? But then Hollywood is capable of miracles, including raising the dead. That being the case, yes, there has to be a next Bond! Will he be another blond gentleman like Daniel Craig?

Or maybe it will be a Ms. Bond this time, and why not a black actor such as Idris Elba?

Only the name of the up-and-coming director of the next JB movie has been announced. It will take a supersleuth to find out who will play the new Bond.
