I’ve seen a few of them, don’t know what the last one was. The studios will keep milking the character as long as there’s money in it, so it doesn’t matter what we think. It can play out in any number of ways–use your own imagination. But there could be clones or reincarnations of Bond, or maybe some period pieces like Bond in WW2 (he was in the Navy before he was in the Secret Service), or whatever.
I read most of the Fleming novels and of the movies I saw, I liked the ones that stayed reasonably close to the books, plus the wacky 1967 Casino Royale with Peter Sellers. But I’m not a movie buff and haven’t seen the more recent ones.
