Connery should be the new 'M'


Not to take anything away from Judy Dench and her performance as "M". She is a brilliant actress. But something interesting came to mind and that is the idea of Sean Connery playing retired 007 in the new position as "M". If you accept the idea that James Bond was not his actual name but his job "title", then this idea could work. IT makes sense if you take into account all of the different actors that have played James Bond, and "M", "Q", and "Felix". It could make perfect sense for the series, that these are not names but titles and that there have been several different "Agents" in these positions. It's something to concider. The only problem (I'm sure there are many) is Connery coming out of retirement and reconciling his differences with the Jame Bond franchise. I'd love to see Sean Connery as "M".

Supposedly, the groundskeeper played Albert Finney was written in mind for Connery from what I heard. They decided not to do so.
