CNN)Have we seen the end of James Bond, the ladies' man?
Probably not, but the actor who currently portrays him would like to think his version is more of a modern man.
Daniel Craig recently told Esquire UK that he has some very specific thoughts about the character he will next portray in the upcoming "Spectre."
"Hopefully, my Bond is not as sexist and misogynistic" as earlier incarnations, he said. "The world has changed. I am certainly not that person. But he is, and so what does that mean? It means you cast great actresses and make the parts as good as you can for the women in the movies."
Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in November's "Spectre."
It's been a decade

Word has it is that the next Bond after Craig is going to be a black guy (Idris Elba).
They were dead after Connery. Now a total joke.
Oh, good God.
Misogynistic? The fact he even inferred that inclines me to believe he buys into the liberal BS, where feminists claim that viewing a woman as beautiful and desirable in a physical way is another manifestation of misogynistic expression.
Much in the same way that all sex is rape to them.
I can’t believe that came out of his mouth.
We need Connery back.
I do wish I could have met the man and thanked him.
Tim Dalton did a good job of trying to bring the Connery vibe back, but that ended with him.
So Bond is going to come out of the closet in “Spectre”?
daniel craig is the worst Bond ever.
James Blond is too pc from day one.
The actor wanted a james bond with fewer guns, he did not drive stick, and the writing has been weak at best.
I agree with him about the loneliness. That would be a good area for a Bond movie to explore. Only Casino Royale came close to that.
Sexy may or may not be sexist.
Bond must stay sexy to women.
IN the Bond films, men (not women) on both sides are being killed left and right with no remorse, yet Craig thinks the films are misogynistic; ostensibly due to little roll in the hay with willing vixens. Maybe he should be concerned with the disregard of male life before he engages in pandering to feminist misandric PC ideology.
I think he is in the clear, I think the “00” designation Mi6 issued Bond gives him a license to kill and a license to dig chicks.
either that or they have Rebel Wilson as the newest Bond Girl...
I guess it won’t be long before Bond is a transexual pacifist whose movies deal with him battling globull warming deniers and anti immigrant luddites while having gay flings.
Casino Royale was on the other night. Very good
People worried about this ought to be expressing their outrage at the way women are characterized in hip-hop and rap music and culture, and at the way women are treated in Islam - not wasting their time worrying about a movie series that 1) has changed with the times, 2) is pure fantasy, and 3) is based on books that were written in the 50s and 60s.
Agreed although Connery is still THE BOND to me.
I did like Brosnan as well, especially in Golden Eye.
So the prior Bonds were sexist and misogynistic?
Is MGM going to give back all the money they made on prior Bond films as penance?
I think they should do a new movie about Barack Obama. I think they should have Justin Bieber play the lead character.
