The franchise has seemed to put their eggs in one basket so to speak by placing Daniel Craig into the various pre-Craig Bond movies in Legends. Makes me wonder what the franchise will do when the franchise chooses the next Bond? <br /><br />As to Boyd, from what I have read, I am hopeful that the next novel will be a bit more rooted in realism rather than the outlandish/garrish plots that plagued filmic Bond.

I like to think that he doesn't always have to be firmly rooted into Cold War politics or outlandish and garrish plots.
