I, as a devoted James Bond fan, can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and disappointment with the recent news surrounding the franchise. On one hand, it’s disheartening to hear that there’s no progress on the next installment of the Bond films, especially since we were promised an “earliest” filming date of 2024 for Bond 26. But on the other hand, I’m elated to share some fantastic news: Q, a beloved character from the world of MI6, is finally getting his time in the spotlight!
As someone who has grown up with James Bond movies being a constant source of excitement and entertainment in my life, I must admit it’s disheartening to see the delay in the production of the next installment. I had looked forward to Bond 26 with bated breath, especially since 2024 was supposedly the earliest possible start date. However, life has a way of throwing us curveballs, and the world of Bond films seems to be at a standstill right now.
Dear all, it’s with a bittersweet feeling that we announce the departure of Q from the MI6 scene. Although not an exact date has been given, we can look forward to the start of “The Q Mysteries” series around Autumn 2025. Written by author Vaseem Khan, “Quantum of Menace” promises to introduce Q in a thrilling new way. This exciting news was shared on social media and the Ian Fleming Publications website, along with some intriguing plot details for this anticipated story. So get ready, fans!
In an unexpected turn of events, Q (previously known as Major Boothroyd), who was previously engaged in creating advanced technologies for MI6’s secret agents in British Intelligence, is unceremoniously removed from his position. He returns to his tranquil hometown of Wickstone-on-Water. There, he learns that his old friend, the esteemed quantum computer scientist Peter Napier, has passed away under mysterious circumstances. A cryptic note left behind by Napier piques Q’s curiosity, and despite the police showing little interest in the case, Q feels driven to look into it further. He soon uncovers that Napier’s revolutionary research may have attracted dangerous elements. Can Q decipher the truth behind Napier’s demise before facing imminent danger?
This story has the feel of a classic British mystery series, which could potentially be produced for PBS in the future. However, given EON Productions’ involvement in the series, it might be challenging to bring this about if such plans have already been made. I’m genuinely intrigued to find out if any talks have taken place regarding this possibility.
Although I’m apprehensive, as Daniel Craig’s James Bond has rarely left MI6, this “Quantum of Menace” seems ripe for an exhilarating 007 experience. Could this be yet another departure from the norm for our suave spy? The prospect brings me joy, evoking the essence of classic Bond adventures, but with a more subtle and intriguing mystery akin to Hercule Poirot’s “Thursday Night Murders.”
If you’re pondering which incarnation of Q from Star Trek you should consider, whether it’s Ben Whishaw’s contemporary portrayal or the late and legendary Desmond Llewelyn, don’t worry. New information has been disclosed by Vaseem Khan himself:
It brings me immense joy and excitement as an author to breathe life into such a legendary character who has captivated me since my childhood days. As a child, I was the one glued to my seat during Bond films, eagerly anticipating the latest ingenious gadgets Q would create for 007. Now, I get to craft Q as the central figure in a modern-day mystery series, merging my deep affection for this genre. This project is the most thrilling assignment I could ever ask for. I can’t wait to introduce Q to readers and watch the character come alive on the page. So long, Bond – it’s Q’s turn to shine!
As a devoted gamer and fan of the Bond universe, I’m thrilled about the new direction in Kim Sherwood’s “Double-O Trilogy.” During James Bond’s grand 60th anniversary celebration, it feels like Q’s turn to take center stage. Honestly, I can only imagine how perfect Ben Whishaw would be for the audiobook adaptation. His connection to MI6 is undeniable, and if Rory “Tanner” Kinnear managed to secure a role in “A Mind To Kill,” then why not consider Ben for this part? It’s an exciting prospect that could add depth and intrigue to the series.
It’s not simple to accept that “Quantum of Menace” won’t start “The Q Mysteries” until autumn 2025. But for literarily inclined Bond fans, there’s a small relief. You can satiate your literary cravings earlier. Kim Sherwood’s second book in the “Double-O Trilogy,” titled “A Spy Like Me,” is already available on bookshelves. Similarly, Nicholas Shakespeare’s biography, named “Ian Fleming: The Complete Man,” is also out there for your reading pleasure.
If you’re into comic books with four-panel adventures, you might want to check out “Your Cold, Cold Heart” by Garth Ennis in The Boys series. It’s currently available as a complete run. But remember, no matter how many times he seems to be down and out, James Bond always finds a way to bounce back.
