David Corenswet Just Shared A Wild Casino Royale Theory About James Bond’s First Kills, And I Think I Actually Agree With Him

2025’s cinematic horizon doesn’t seem to include James Bond making a comeback just yet, as James Bond 26 is rumored to be a couple of years away still. However, I’m not alone in eagerly awaiting a new Bond, and I was delightfully intrigued to learn that David Corenswet, who played Superman, is quite the aficionado of the Bond series.

It was during his appearance on Brittany Broski’s Royal Court, in a segment not included in the main series, that he had this realization. The launch of the Daniel Craig James Bond movies in 2006 provided Corenswet with an opportunity to delve into the intricacies of the franchise. He shared his thoughts on the memorable pre-credits sequence of Casino Royale, proposing a fan theory.

It makes sense why that particular scene was edited out due to time constraints and later released independently. It’s a significant scene focusing on the opening sequence of Casino Royale, where James Bond eliminates two adversaries of Britain. As David Corenswet mentioned, fulfilling this action is essential for earning the 00-license to kill, as documented.

According to the actor from Twisters, James Bond believed that the qualifying kills were actually carried out when he eliminated the initial henchman. This is because although Bond thought he killed the man by drowning him, it was pulling the trigger that ultimately ended his life, marking it as a second kill in Bond’s tally.

Prior to moving forward, I encourage you to take a look at the relevant scene if you haven’t already done so. It will play a crucial role in our subsequent conversation.

I find myself leaning towards agreeing with this analysis of the opening scene in Casino Royale because Daniel Craig’s portrayal in the tuxedo delves deeply into the psychological makeup of Ian Fleming’s character, James Bond. There’s a memorable quote later on in this modern retelling where he questions M (played by Dame Judi Dench) about whether he’s supposed to be “part monk, part assassin.

James Bond understood that the accountants at MI6 required two deaths, both strategically and quantitatively. Entering to eliminate Dryden (Malcolm Sinclair) was simply a ritualistic act for him, since he discovered from the deceased informant’s message that life can be lived more than once.

If Amazon’s 007 Wishlist hadn’t been maintaining the tradition of keeping James Bond British, and if there wasn’t a strong desire for more Superman-related content, I might seriously consider Corenswet as the next James Bond. Given that James Brolin nearly became an American James Bond, and English actors like Henry Cavill and Christian Bale have portrayed DC superheroes, I would actually be open to this possibility.

Absolutely, we live in a universe where David Corenswet plays Superman, and that’s quite thrilling too! For those who haven’t experienced the latest blockbuster with Superman, also known as the last son of Krypton, there’s still time to catch it in cinemas. The 3D/4DX experience is so captivating that I strongly advise you not to miss out on it.
