Aside from this being the ultimate 50th anniversary nod to the franchise, Connery would have fit the part perfectly as a native Scot working at the Bond family home.
Mendes previously told Huffington Post: “There was a definite discussion about [Connery playing Kincade] way, way early on. But I think that’s problematic.

No doubt some fans would also have been confused by the 82-year-old’s presence, wondering if James Bond was just a codename and Kincade was a retired 007 from the 1960s.
