His name is everywhere now: Zack Snyder! He recently created one of the new hits on the Netflix platform: Rebel Moon. We know him for many franchises like Justice League or Batman V Superman for example.
For several days, many media have been paying attention to him, including very serious American media Atlantic which dedicates a long portrait to the filmmaker. Zack Snyder touches on many topics, including the burning issue of superhero fatigue.
On that note, he says he’s experiencing a form of fatigue himself, adding that he says comic book adaptations are currently “dead endAnd that it’s no longer interesting to make films centered around one theme or character.No one thinks that they will continue to make films independently of each other.“.

The Atlantic then asks him about the place of licenses in cinema. “How many big licenses are there in cinema?”“, he emphasizes. While you’re wondering… James Bond! Said he might be tempted! “It might be cool to see a 20-year-old James Bond.” he told the journalist of The Atlantic. “Be interested in your humble origins. And the injuries that will allow you to one day become James Bond.” and to conclude: “There must be something to say about that“.
Note that the idea of a young James Bond has already been mentioned in the past. There was indeed talk of casting a young actor for his role, but that hypothesis was quickly scrapped.
“In the past, we tried to reach out to younger actors. But try to visualize it: it doesn’t work. “ said producer Michael Wilson. “Remember, Bond is a veteran, he has experience.”
“He is the one who, so to speak, endured the wars. He was probably a member of the SAS or something. He’s not just a kid out of high school who can throw himself into the deep end like that. That’s why he works in his thirties.“
Perhaps this confidence from Zack Snyder will revive the idea of a rejuvenated James Bond. To be continued.
