“Bond’s not ‘content,’ and he’s not a mere commodity,” Logan concludes. “He has been a part of our lives for decades now. From Sean Connery to George Lazenby to Roger Moore to Timothy Dalton to Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig, we all grew up with our version of 007, so we care deeply about him. Please let 007 drink his martinis in peace. Don’t shake him, don’t stir him.” The next James Bond tentpole, the Cary Fukunaga-directed “No Time to Die,” is set for U.S. release in theaters on October 8.
