    They'll have the next Bond film out in 2062 for the 100th anniversary and call it quits after that.

    Don t you think they would want to cash in on the 1000th anniversary as well?

    Oh I'm sure they would want to, but entertainment in all shapes and forms will undoubtedly be outlawed by that time. If you're not happy about that, you can simply adjust the setting on your Penfield mood organ.

    Whoever it is? I will guess 5 going on a 3 year gap per movie? Finance won't be an issue anymore assuming the Amazon deal goes ahead?

    3 is an ideal number.

    Not that I want the following to happen, but...a swing of the pendulum might next occur. After 5 successful Connery films we got just 1 with the next Bond. He decided it was not cool, hip or current to portray Bond and stepped away, never to work again on a film as well budgeted or produced. Then there was 1, but an anomaly since Connery came back and it was known and planned to be just for 1. Then we had a string of 7 with a single actor, followed by just 2 with the next actor. Certainly, the termination of his string occurred under unusual off-screen circumstances, but it lead to a change. Next we had 4 with a single Bond actor, followed by 5 with a single Bond actor. It is possible that next up we will have a string of 4 or 5, if the next actor starts out young enough and they do not take too long between films. It also is possible, though, that we get just 1 or 2. Were it to occur this way, I think the causation would not be "actor quitting because it is not cool", or "off screen legal issues." Rather, I think it would be that the next actor were not well-received and the producers want to shift quickly. As the old knight said in IJATLC, they must take care to choose wisely.
    Dalton was not helped by dull scripts and dull direction. Brosnan was not helped by a script for his last film going waaayy off the rails. They will need not only a terrific choice of actor, but good writing.

    I’ll predict 4, but it’s really a crapshoot. 3 or 8 would be awesome to carry on the amazing tradition of every actor having a different total.

    I’d settle for just a short string of 3 films from the next Bond actor; I’ll take a small yet good run of non-interconnected films than a bad run of 4-6 films that get progressively worse over time.

    Thats a good point. I'd never really thought about them all have different totals before until now.

    Whoever it is I wish him good luck! Daniel Craig will be the toughest act to follow since Connery.

    Yes, ironically, the guy will have a lot of hate thrown at him, just like Dan had. He'd have to be a genius to be loved the way Dan is nowadays. Big shoes. He'll need a script as good as CR's :-S #-o

    1 film they misfire with casting and the film is a flop so #7 gets sacked, Bond #8 makes 4 movies.

    I can’t see them ever misfiring that badly with the casting. EON aren’t perfect, but I don’t think they’ve ever miscast Bond. That’s one area I’ll always have complete faith in them in.

    EON production presents

    George MacKay
    (or another already acclaimed young talent who has worked with Craig, Mendes, Deakins, ...)
    as
    Ian Fleming's
    James Bond

    in
    _____Insert one word Flemingesque title_____

    a film by Denis Villeneuve
    written by Jonathan and Christopher Nolan
    Cinematography by Roger Deakins
    Production Design by Mark Tildesley
    Music by Hans Zimmer

    And even then, I don't think people would be that happy to say: "this fella is better than Daniel Craig". It'll really be one tough act to follow.

    I’m gonna say 3, maybe 4 based on who I think will get it. Hard to watch a Bond movie if you don’t like the actor that plays 007 . This is true for any role as well.

    Four over twelve years, so a three year gap between them.

    This depends mainly on how well they do commercially.

    If it's moderately successful, 2-3.

    If it's a cashcow, easily 4-5+. The producers will beg for that actor to return and give them just about everything they want.

    The next 30 years brought us 8 more films divided by 2 actors (9 if we get NTTD).

    A lot of unlucky things happened. Writer's strike of 2008. MGM Bankruptcy of 2010. COVID-19.

    I don't expect this to be the new norm, or at least I hope not.

    With it already be 2022 and we possie should wait till 2024, 2030 is only 6 years a way then.

    I sugest earlier that 1993 English Barney Clark can start in 2030 as Bond 8 at age of 36-37 years old. But having 8th Bond actor starting in 2030 will be delayd till 2032 or even 2034/2036. With not much time till 2030, mabey we can already think about a Bondgirl for him. 2006 born French actres Albane Masson with a bit of looks of Moonraker actres (Goodhead) and FYEO girl, who is almoost 16 and in 2034 turn 28 (30 in 2036) and be long enough time past so that we can have another French actres again. Clark is 40-41 in 2034.

    Bond 7 have 8-10 years (2024-2032/2034), 3-4 movies. Mabey closer to 3..

    If they get past 2, I'm gonna say 4.

    3 is "traditionally" quite a popular film for any Bond actor, so its easy to imagine them returning.

    One. Bond is dead to me, and therefore should be to everybody else. It may take them awhile to realize it, but the franchise is defunct.

    (Sorry, I didn't realize I'd already done this joke. October was soooo long ago...) ;)

    The joke is still funny, though. :)

    I can’t believe Daniel Craig, and only Daniel Craig killed this franchise off. How egotistical!

    Didn't some people think that Dan killed the series just by accepting the role in the first place?!
