Justice League” as well as Netflix’s new “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire,” said he’d like to see the British superspy get a time-traveling makeover while the 60-year-old series reinvents itself.“It’d be cool to see, like, 20-year-old James Bond,” Snyder told the Atlantic. “The humble roots that he comes from.
