by

David Corenswet is currently recognized widely as Superman, yet off-screen, he’s an ordinary individual with strong views on cinema. In a recent conversation with Brittany Broski on her Royal Court show, Corenswet shared some of his preferences, revealing himself to be not only a passionate Star Wars fan but also quite fond of James Bond.

During the interview, Broski inquired about Corenswet’s individual opinions on trending topics. At that point, the actor openly discussed his views on the James Bond films, emphasizing his preference for Casino Royale above the rest. He didn’t mince words in declaring it as his favorite.

As a cinephile, I couldn’t help but share my recent cinematic discovery – the timeless masterpiece, Casino Royale. This film, without a doubt, stands out in the James Bond series for me. The movie kicks off with a captivating black-and-white sequence that depicts Bond’s first kill, setting the stage for an exhilarating journey. I’d be more than happy to delve deeper into why this film holds such a special place in my heart if you’re interested!

In this sequence, Bond locates an MI6 agent who’s been leaking information. The atmosphere is tense and subdued as Bond confronts the man in his office. As it turns out, the man tries to threaten Bond with an empty gun, but Bond reveals, “I know where you hide your weapon.” This was clarified by Corenswet.

He went on to explain the intensity of the battle. Later, Bond ends up killing the agent by submerging him in a basin, which Corenswet found particularly ruthless. He further recounted the dialogue that ensued with Bond’s target. “He was saying things like ‘Did he make you feel it?’ because he wasn’t a double-O yet, as he hadn’t taken any lives, and becoming a double-O required two kills.” Corenswet then repeated one of Bond’s iconic lines from the scene: “Don’t worry, the second is…” before Bond shot the man, completing the phrase himself with “Indeed, quite decisively.

According to him, what sets Casino Royale apart as the greatest Bond movie ever made is its exceptional quality, which he believes makes it one of the best films of all time.

He didn’t just move on; Corenswet shed light on a detail that many fans might have overlooked. Following Bond’s office encounter where he takes a life, the movie rewinds to an earlier skirmish in the bathroom, revealing that Bond’s initial kill wasn’t as straightforward as it appeared. The man whom Bond drowned actually regained consciousness and attempted to attack him, compelling Bond to fire his weapon.

Corenswet pointed out that this plot twist alters how viewers should perceive Bond’s transformation into a double-O agent. He added, “Contrary to what many might think, the second kill isn’t when Bond shoots the main villain in his office. Instead, it turns out that Bond had his second kill in an experiential sense, as he first drowned the man and then had to shoot him.

2006 saw the release of Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, a role he took over brilliantly. Upon its debut, it garnered widespread acclaim for its gritty tone, thrilling action scenes, and Craig’s unique portrayal of Bond. Both fans and critics often rank it among the top films in the series. Over time, Casino Royale has remained popular and frequently appears on lists highlighting the best Bond movies.

With Corenswet’s involvement, there could be a resurgence of viewers re-exploring Casino Royale, curious to understand the excitement surrounding it. Perhaps they’ll share the viewpoint of Superman himself, who believes it to be the finest Bond film ever produced.
