After 'No Time To Die' movie in 2021, the next James Bond actor is a mystery

In October 2021, Daniel Craig played James Bond for the last time in 'No Time To Die.' This movie had its twists and turns, as James Bond died plus James Bond's daughter made a cameo. These two scenes were crucial ones, that are considered to be a first for the 007 movies. With Daniel Craig being cast as James Bond for five movies, it is going to take a couple of more years to find the next marvelous British spy. This enigma might have a few candidates in the mix now. Let's look at some respective names in the upcoming paragraphs. First, Idris Elba could be the first Black James Bond. The stellar English actor is 52 years young, and he could be a regal choice for the role. On the contrary, some critics think he is too old to play Commander James Bond. Another British name to arise out of the blue is Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Aaron is the right age at 33, and he has played a Marvel character in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron.' Taylor-Johnson played Kick-Ass superhero adapted from Marvel comics in two successful movies. Second, many people think of Henry Cavill as a multi-faceted adept actor. Remember that he played Clark Kent in three to four movies. The familiar movies were 2013's 'Man of Steel' and 2016's 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.' Cavill reprised Superman in 2017's 'Justice League' and 2022's 'Black Adam' movies. Cavill can be seen in 'Argylle' of recent, which was released in February 2024. With the news of Aaron Taylor-Johnson's offer of the James Bond role, does it mean that Cavill got snubbed for 007? Third, Tom Hardy could be a possible choice for a 'Bond 26' flick. The 26th installment of the spy linked movies is about two years away from any major Hollywood announcement. Hardy received an Academy Award nomination for his villanous role in 2015's 'The Revenant.' In 2012, Hardy played the puzzling 'Bane' character in 'The Dark Knight Rises.' If the author of this post had to pick two, Hardy would be one of the top two choices. Hardy has received major recognition for the 'Venom' films, and will be back in 'Venom: The Last Dance' in October 2024. In closing, the list of James Bond actors may include Henry Golding. His fans know him from 'Crazy Rich Asians' in which he was the love interest of Constance Wu. In 'A Simple Favor,' Golding plays the husband of Blake Lively in an incredible crime comedy thriller. The four choices for James Bond are listed in this informative post, and the choice will be up to the public in 2025 or 2026. Enjoy the picture above of the SIS building. Good night from the MI6 building plus the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service, the United Kingdom's foreign intelligence agency.

Capital One buying Discover Financial Services in first noteworthy merger of 2024

When you think of CapitalOne, the stock symbol is COF. The company has corporate headquarters in Mclean, VA. The company has Jennifer Garner, Samuel L. Jackson, Charles Barkley, Spike Lee, Jim Nantz, and Willie Nelson in their various commercials. One of the slogans of CapitalOne is 'What's in Your Wallet?'. The market capitalization of Capital One is $51 billion. Next, Discover Financial Services has a stock symbol of DFS. The company has corporate headquarters close to Chicago, IL. The company has a market capitalization of $30 billion. One of their slogans is 'It pays to Discover.' Two days ago, Capital One announced that the company will buy Discover for $35 billion. In addition, this merger in the credit card industry will make credit card users live under more pressure from high interest rates. The US public is known to be in record debt, and Elizabeth Warren is one Massachusetts senator that is asking for the FTC to block this deal. Warren is stating that the deal could reduce competition. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover are the four biggest credit card brands in USA. Some stock analysts believe that the duopoly is Visa and Mastercard. In this penultimate paragraph, the author states that he used to have a discover credit card and a citigroup mastercard credit card. In 2015, my two accounts were closed due to debt in both of the credit cards. Currently, my only credit card is a Visa through Bank of America. Discover credit card and Mastercard credit card send me more promotions, for credit card offers. It may be better for me to decline those offers, as most world citizens should stop living in credit card debt. In closing, American Express is a credit card that is not for me. If CapitalOne and Discover merger is approved, it would happen in another 8-12 months. The deal could be blocked, and antitrust issues is the reason why the merger may not be approved. See the picture above of Disover's logo. One main advantage of Discover is earning unlimited 1% cash back on all purchases. You can earn 5% cash back at different places each quarter, when you activate. Hope this feature stays, if CapitalOne and Discover merge into one company.
