The villain of Goldeneye (Alec) was shown as 006 at the beginning of the movie before he turned. He's probably the most well known other 00 agent. That movie had a pretty cool opening since we got to see two 00's working together as a team.

There were a bunch of 00's seated at a table in Thunderball... including a woman.

Also one got a knife in the back while dressed as a clown throwing a faberege egg into the British consulate

I nominate this "actor" to be Bond #26. As a WIS, he also ticks the minority group box. 😀

WIS? But I’ve never ever been to Wisconsin!?! 😵‍💫

In Moonraker (the novel, not the movie), it's clearly stated that there are three agents in the 00 section: 007, 008, and 0011. The numbers may change a bit in subsequent books, but I usually look to the creator of the character for the real info.

Throughout the whole franchise, there are some 12 "00" agents. I'm trawling my memory (and I'm going to have to go to Google) to recall the film where all the available 00s are brought together in one breifing room ... Thunderball? Yup, it was Thunderball:

As and when one retires or dies, their number is re-assigned. One of the books referred to a mandatory retirement age for 00 agents as 45. If you really delve into the numbering theory, there was an agent in late Tudor England who is purported to have used the alias "007" and may be where Fleming first got the reference: http://www.woe.edu.pl/content/dr-john-dee-original-007

So, to summarise, there are never more than 12 operatives with a "licence to kill" and as one dies or retires, a new agent is assigned that number with all rights and priviledges that comes with it.
