The underlying themes of Daniel Craig’s Bond era may have never been fully realized if not for an important change to the Quantum of Solace ending.

Quantum of Solace marks a pivotal point in Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond. The movie ends with Bond tracking down the Quantum agent indirectly responsible for Vesper Lynd’s death. Bond saves the agent’s latest female target from a similar fate but doesn’t kill the man. Quantum of Solace’s original ending, however, does culminate in a Bond kill, one that would have drastically changed the future of Craig’s 007.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Quantum of Solace serves as a direct sequel to Daniel Craig’s first James Bond film, Casino Royale. Craig’s 007 begins, in the words of M, as a “blunt instrument,” hardened with a shield of armor through which Vesper Lynd is able to penetrate before her death.

Like Casino Royale, the original ending for Quantum of Solace would have set up another direct sequel with Guy Haines now in MI6 custody as they continue to peel back the layers of the criminal organization known as Quantum. Marc Forster cut this scene to provide more options for future James Bond movies, including the possibility of bringing back Mr. White.

How Quantum Of Solace's Original Ending Would Have Changed Bond's Arc The survival of Mr. White allows for his return in Spectre, prompting a new storyline that brings Craig’s 007 full circle. Having fallen out of favor with Spectre, the criminal organization behind Quantum and everything else up to that point, a poisoned Mr. White reveals the location of his daughter, Madeleine, to Bond in hopes that Bond can protect her.

Daniel Craig’s final James Bond film, No Time to Die, brings to a close the themes of loss and love that began with Casino Royale. If Bond kills Mr. White in Quantum of Solace, as the original ending intended, the series loses its means through which Bond finds Madeleine and thus, his redemption.
