Thought process: Elizabeth II became queen in 1952, the first bond book Ian Flemming made released 1953. Bonds whole story normally until they try to actualize things is that he is already married to queen and country, so he no matter what chooses her over all. The last movie released before she died. Instead of “shaking things up” by picking a younger Bond, I think it would be better if they just end it on a Bond many didn’t like, a retiree. (Many did like him as well…). But I feel it would be a fitting ending.
If anything just bring a new 00 agent, one that’s fit for a new era
IMHO, the James Bond series is a product of the Cold War. When that ended in the late 80s, they tried to reframe or modernize it. I do not have a strong opinion on that, apart from the fact that the latest Bond movie was a very expensive commercial for shitty Dutch beer and equally shitty German cars. Bond is dead.
