I do hope we have seen the last of Mr White. CR and QOS was fine but is he really a strong enough character to be in a third? I dont think so.


Agree, We first saw him brokering the deal in the jungle. On his own no bodyguards.

Later he was in Venice, again unaccompnied.

Finally at the villa on the lake, without any protection.

This is not the behaviour of leader of Quantum.

In QOS we saw the group working as a team, with bodyguards.

I dont think there is much more we can give the Mr. White character to do

You know what would be cool, if they did something like for your eyes only in the beginning where blofeld gets killed by bond which has nothing to do with the rest of the film, they should do something like that in the next bond movie with Mr.White, like have bond kill him in some cool fashion. I want to see bond kill him already.

Have Bond kill Mr White "the living daylights" style.

While Mr White is going out of a public building in London, after a secret meeting with Quantum leaders, James Bond , who's hiding in a rooftop across the street, kills him with no remorse.

I'd rather they did something like this, than forget about him entirely.

It could be some clever scheme to lower one's expectations and defenses and then sucker punch you with, "yes, I'm the leader!" or something like that. Or he just knows how to take care of himself without the need for a bodyguard. B)

I want to see what happens next with White, he's been an intriguing character so far, not really sure where he sits in the Quantum organization - he didn't seem to be participating in the discussion at the opera, just listening in. Got the impression in QOS, as in CR, he's at a higher level of functioning than hired-hand Le Chiffre, or even the group in QOS including Greene. Yet not the tippy-top?

Like the intrigue around him, they should build on it and not let it go IMO.

It's a nice idea (bump the character off early PARALLAX VIEW style) - but doesn't that sort of negate and ignore the two Craig films? Craig's Bond has been almost singlehandedly shaped by the actions of MR WHITE. It betrays the narrative importance and enigma of the character so far just to rid him early on in a future film.

Though he could have had some Charles Gray surgery and there could be TWO MR WHITE's?! "Right idea, wrong Jasper..."?

But as IMDB are singlehandely handling the casting of this film, maybe they know something else...?

My idea of a cool pre title sequence Is If bond is about to sniper him when someone else (a beautiful Blonde woman) winds up killing him.

I've always favored "Shatterhand" as a title, it's one of the only cool names/potential titles left from the books.

And I'd be good with taking a one-film break from Quantum if it meant we had a Goldfinger-level spectacle.

I can't say I like the idea of Mr White being killed off just yet. He serves a good purpose as the consistent representation of Quantum - he provides a sort of continuity.

Agreed. And i'm still waiting for Captain tightpants to slap me....



I'm a fleming fan and I preffer titles from his pen versus the pen of others for 007 If that upsets people (like gravity) I'm sorry but it's who I am and what I like and I'm not gonna change.

Yes, he is a very intriguing character. I just want to see him get his comeuppance at some point. And ideally before the actor Jesper Christensen dies. Not that he is really old or in bad health or anything!!

I like that idea. I was up for the sniper bit but then you topped it with this.

Mind you ... it would have to lead on to a decent story from accomplished writers, not Wallace and Gromit, sorry ... I meant Purvis and Wade.

I could accept this if it led to a good tale but I must admit that I personally always have a hankering for a PTS that is a mini-movie in its own right with no connection to the main plot, (i.e. GF, TB, MR, FYEO,) rather than something that is integral to the plot of the main movie, (GE, TWINE, CR).

I like the idea of seeing a snippet of Bond in other adventures where we don't know the full story. It's kind of like in the Fleming books, where he is stuck in Headquarters as the Duty Officer. It shows a moment where he is not rescuing the world from certain doom, he is doing paperwork. In film terms this would equate to him being on lesser missions, days when he is not fighting villains in an underwater/hollowed out volcano /space station, lair.

Instead, he is going after minor villains, probably to execute them, (have you ever seen Bond arrest anyone?) ... big shootout, mad chase, pigeons are frightened, Bond crashing into a garden where a young Swedish girl is sunbathing in the nude. Ah, they don't make 'em like that any more.

In these PTS's, it should not be 'major, saving the world' kind of action, all the time. It should show that sometimes he does lesser jobs, that in their own way, are important but not saving the world kind of important. By that I mean GF type PTS.

But that's just my twopenn'orth.

I am surprised that so many of you feel the need for closure with Mr White. If you keep Mr White in a third isnt it in danger of becoming a bit Police Acadamy? B) I just dont think he is that strong a character. He isnt the new Blofeld.

I like that "For Your Eyes Only" killing of Mr. White.

I think it would be really great if Quantum briefly mentioned or referenced a young Blofeld; whether he is their adversary or not. He doesn't need to be seen, or a part of the story. I have always thought it could be possible Mr. White works for Blofeld. I suppose if that were to happen at all it probably wouldn't be until Craig's last outing.

I would be okay with this as an alternative to Quantum taking a movie off. It might actually be for the better to have Mr. White slip away for a while as Bond starts chipping away at the maze that is Quantum, only to have him return in Bond 24.
