The times are a changin’ for the James Bond franchise. Eon Productions is still looking for a director to succeed Sam Mendes and oversee James Bond 25, as well as figure out if the movie will remain at Sony Pictures or be released by a different studio. Once James Bond 25 is out of the way, it will be the end of an era, as it will mark Daniel Craig’s last time playing 007. It will be a long time until we learn who Craig’s Bond replacement will be, but Eon producer Barbara Broccoli hasn’t ruled out that the next person to play the spy who’s fond of drinking shaken, not stirred, martinis won’t be the traditional white man. When asked if the next James Bond could be a woman and/or person of color, Broccoli responded:

　　属于詹姆斯邦德系列电影的光辉时代正在日渐远去。Eon制片公司还在寻找一位系萨姆门德斯之后的大腕导演来拍摄邦德系列的第25集。这部续作是否继续由索尼制片推出，还是由其他工作室进驻也是一个需要斟酌的问题。邦德系列的第25集将是此系列电影的最后一集。因为这将是丹尼尔克雷格最后一次扮演特工007的角色。此后确定邦德的继任者要花费很长时间。但据Eon制片的芭芭拉布罗克利称，这个喝着摇和而非搅拌的马蒂尼的特工的下一任扮演者，也许不再是一个根正苗红的白人。当被问到下一个詹姆斯邦德会不会是一个女性，或者是有色人种时，布罗克利回答说：

　　These films tend to reflect the times so we always try to push the envelope a little bit. Anything is possible.

　　这些电影是时代的写照，所以我们总是尝试进一步突破人们的想象。任何事都有可能。

　　While this is by no means confirmation that the next time we see James Bond, it will be a woman or person of color portraying the spy, Barbara Broccoli’s comment to Daily Mail reveal that the option, among others, hasn’t been ruled out. For over 50 years, James Bond has been played by a white man, and while each have ranged in age and occasionally had different hair color, there haven’t been many major visual differences between these incarnations. Given the loose continuity between each "generation" of James Bond movies, the franchise could certainly "relaunch" with a different kind of actor donning the tuxedo, much like how 2006’s Casino Royale was a reboot that introduced Daniel Craig as a Bond who was just beginning his career as a 007 agent. This doesn’t work quite as seamlessly as Time Lords regenerating on Doctor Who, but it’s a creative direction that’s at least on the table.

　　芭芭拉布罗克利对每日邮报评论称，下一个詹姆斯邦德是否由女性或有色人种出演还远非定论，但不排除这种可能。50年来历任詹姆斯邦德一直由白人男性来扮演，他们的年龄各异，发色也稍有变化。但总的来说这些演员饰演的邦德在外形上没有显著的差异。由于007系列的每个故事相互独立，在2006年拍摄皇家赌场时，就推出了一个与往“邦德”不同类型的演员—丹尼尔克雷格来饰演这个穿着无尾男士晚礼服的间谍。这个角色也随即成为他演艺生涯的敲门砖。邦德的更新换代也许不会像时间领主神秘博士那样无缝衔接。但这至少是一种创新的可能。

　　For now, though, Eon Productions is working on making sure that Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond ends with a bang. After months of rumors and speculation, Craig finally confirmed that he would play Bond for a fifth time. Neil Purvis and Robert Wade returned to pen the script, and last August, it was reported that Denis Villeneuve, David Mackenzie and Yann Demange were the frontrunners for the directing gig, though Villeneuve has since taken himself out of the running due to already being committed to the Dune reboot. So far Craig is the only actor confirmed to appear in James Bond 25, but it was rumored last September that Léa Seydoux might briefly reprise her role as Dr. Madeleine Swann, who debuted in Spectre.

　　目前，Eon Productions正在努力确保Daniel Craig作为詹姆斯邦德的任期以一声巨响告终。经过数月的谣言和猜测，克雷格终于确认他将第五次扮演邦德。尼尔.珀维斯和罗伯特.韦德回到了剧本，去年8月，据报道，丹尼斯.维伦纽夫，大卫.麦肯齐和扬.德芒格是导演演出的领跑者，尽管维伦纽夫因为已经承诺而退出了舞台。到Dune重新启动。到目前为止，克雷格是唯一一个被证实出现在詹姆斯.邦德25中的演员，但是去年9月传出莱埃.塞杜可能会短暂地重新扮演她在斯派特出道的马德琳.斯旺博士的角色。
