The Not-So-Secret James Bond Reboot That’s Happening Right Now

As blockbuster franchises go, the exploits of libertine MI6 agent James Bond, 007, are utterly singular. Originally a series of novels and short stories written by Ian Fleming and published from 1953 to 1966, Bond has become one of the most successful, scrappy, and fiercely independent media franchises in history. Seventy-two years after the publication of Casino Royale, an old-school spy whose initial enemy was communism is somehow not only still relevant but a paradoxically durable character.

From speculation about the next Bond to actors reminiscing about their time in the franchise, to musicians, like Lana Del Rey, who recently dished on a song she originally wrote for a Bond film that was never meant to be, to back-to-back Bond-adjacent Henry Cavill movies (Argylle and The League of Ungentlemanly Warfare), James Bond manages to make headlines even when he doesn’t have a new movie out. But if you’re looking for some official stories from the world of 007, there’s another not-so-secret project you might have missed. An entirely new 21st-century canon of Bond has been created in the past two years, fully authorized in cooperation with Ian Fleming’s estate. But these adventures aren’t on our screens. Yet.

How to Become a History Man

If the post-apocalypse scenario laid out in George Miller’s Mad Max movies actually happened, what would you do to get by? What profession or trade would you take on in the Wasteland? If we’re being honest, most of the options aren’t great and for most of us, the answer to this question is probably “I’d be dead.” But in Furiosa, the director revealed one career path that seems slightly more attainable: The History Man.

“He survives to keep history and memory alive,” George Shevtsov, who plays The History Man in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, tells Inverse.

Shevtsov actually auditioned for the original Mad Max back in 1979. Almost 50 years later, he finally made it into the franchise with Furiosa. But considering the role he got to play, perhaps it was worth the wait.
