They'll reboot it like they did for the Daniel Craig era. Most of you are aware but for those who don't know:

-"Doctor No" (1962) through "Die Another Day" (2002) all take place in the same universe, or on the same time line if you will. Even though the character is played by different actors he is meant to be the same man.

-Casino Royal (2006) through No Time To Die (2021) are a reboot. All take place in a separate universe, or a different timeline. The events that happened from "Doctor No" to "Die Another Day" did not happen to this man. This is made clear because he earns is 00 status at the beginning of Casino Royal. Having Judy Dench continue to play "M" muddies the waters a but it's still pretty clear that the two universes/timelines are meant to be separate.

I stated this because it looks like some people early in the threat weren't aware of the reboot. Most likely they will reboot it again to create a third James Bond universe/timeline.

Personally, I can't wait to see Bond movies get back to being Bond movies instead of the producers trying to be Borne/Mission Impossible movies.

Trigger warning to the Bond fans 😁:

In my view, Ethan Hunt>>>James Bond and I don't think it's close. Caveat that I am an unapologetic Tom Cruise nut.

Brosnan is my personal favorite Bond, but I do think the Craig character was the right evolution of the series.

Well, "Tom Cruise" and "nut" often appear in the same sentence so I'll give you points for accuracy.
