A possible solution for EON&#8217;s scheduling trouble?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at that hiccup, namely Craig\u2019s boo boo sustained on set in Jamaica. When it happened we were told he would only need a week to recover, then it was two, now here we are a month later and it\u2019s been modified to \u201ctwo weeks after surgery.\u201d In reality Craig will be sidelined a month and a half or more. So I\u2019m guessing Craig\u2019s injury was more severe than initially reported? Also it took him a month to get emergency surgery? Is he participating in a pilot program of his idol Bernie Sanders\u2019 communist medical plan?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/images.tmz.com\/2019\/06\/10\/0610-daniel-craig-the-image-direct-3.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"922\" \/><\/p>\n<p>James &#8220;Jimmy Rickets&#8221; Bond<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In much smaller bombshells, namely those shaped like Easter eggs, we will be \u201ctreated\u201d to a wink, nudge, nod or homage in the form of one of Danny\u2019s rides seen in the film.
