However, her latest project proves that the picture is more complicated.
Not only doDay of the Jackaland Bond share contemporary configs, butthere are clear echoes between the eponymous characters.
Daniel Craig has moved on from James Bond, opening the door for another actor to step in.
Do they want a younger Bond who can sign on for a long list of films?
Or rather an older Bond to appear in just a couple before bringing on a new Bond?
Personally, I have two favorites at the top of my list.
First is Matt Smith.
Plus, he is a snazzy dresser.
The other is Andrew Garfield, should the studio want to go younger.
Although it manifests very differently, this is something that also defines The Jackal.
The Day of the Jackalwas first made into a movie in 1973.
It holds a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Whereas Bond is almost always an unambiguous hero, The Jackal is decidedly villainous.
For Redmayne, playing Bond after The Jackal would allow him to play two sides of the same coin.
It’s an intriguing prospect that would remain consistent with the new emotional depths explored by Daniel Craig.

As 007, Lynch already inherited the mantle left by Craig at the end of his arc.
