Watch Daniel Craig Pass the Torch in New Bond Trailer

Leave a reply

Ever since it was announced that actress Lashana Lynch would succeed Daniel Craig in the next Bond film, No Time to Die, the public has been anticipating their next dose of the famed secret agent with bated breath. Rumors of Craig’s departure had been circulating for a while, but I don’t think anyone was expecting the franchise to cast Lynch, the first female and black actor to take on the role. It’s a huge deal and will undoubtedly inspire an entirely fresh generation of James Bond fans.

 

The first official trailer for the upcoming film has just dropped and it’s a doozy. There’s all the archetypal Bond-isms: fast cars, explosions, expensive suits, gunfire, international cities, the works. Rami Malek stars as the villain, apparently. And Lynch seems at ease as she inherits Britain’s most iconic film role with effortless poise.

 

No Time to Die hits theaters in April 2020. Watch the trailer for the film above now.

N.Peal Wants to Dress You Like Bond

Leave a reply

As the world’s most famous secret agent (love that oxymoron), James Bond aka 007 has had an immeasurable impact on pop culture since his debut over 50 years ago and consequently informed a generation of menswear looks. Whether it’s in a classic tux or poolside onesie, Bond has established himself as one the longest standing style icons in film. To honor his legacy, N.Peal designed a collection of 13 cashmere looks inspired by the beloved character.

 

N.Peal has a history with the film franchise — two of its cashmere pieces were worn by Daniel Craig in the Skyfall and Spectre films. But this marks the first time the British menswear brand has gone beyond the contemporary films and recreated looks from decades past. Chronicling each of the six actors who have portrayed Bond over 26 films, the collection manages to stand as a current interpretation of some classic vintage looks. Some standouts from the range include a navy cable-knit crewneck sweater, as worn by Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye, and a light blue cashmere bomber worn by George Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

 

The N.Peal x 007 collection is available in stores and online now.

Lashana Lynch is the New 007

Rumors of who will play the next 007 have been circulating for a bit now. The role has been played by Daniel Craig for over a decade, so it seems a reasonable time as any to pass the torch to introduce a new generation to the iconic character. While many have speculated that Idris Elba might get the part (as the first Black man to play the secret agent, this would be big) new reports say that British actress Lashana Lynch will succeed Craig in the next film. This makes her the first Black woman to play the lead role in the series ever. Alexa, play ‘God is a Woman.’

 

Lynch will star in the new film, titled Bond 25, which follows Craig’s resignation and introduces his successor. Little else is known about the production — Grace Jones allegedly walked off set while she was shooting a cameo — but Lynch (who also starred in Captain Marvel) seems a promising new lead to take the franchise into the future.
