In No Time To Die, James sacrifices his life to keep his love and their daughter Mathilde (Lisa-Dorah Sonnet), safe from a lethal virus Bond is infected with. The No Time To Die ending meant that, for the first time, James Bond definitively dies a noble death onscreen.
We all know bond is pretty much killed off at the end of NTTD. After the credits the phrase “James bond will return” is stated (like in all the films) at the very end.
James Bond will return. Those words appeared – as is traditional – at the end of No Time to Die, Daniel Craig's final Bond outing. Even with Craig's 007 blown to smithereens, a new actor will soon step into the gun barrel and take aim at a new era of Bond.
However, in a shocking twist, Vesper betrays Bond later on in the film, embezzling money to save his life. It is later revealed that she had been threatened with Bond's death if she didn't acquiesce to Le Chiffre's demands.
Only four actors who played James Bond — also known as Agent 007 — in movies are alive today: George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
With the death of actor Sean Connery, October 31st 2020, Lazenby is now the earliest and oldest living actor who has portrayed James Bond. During the 1970s and 1980s he raced motorcycles and in the 1990s he backed a restaurant chain, the Spy House.
In fact, more than 60 women have been romanced by and fought alongside 007 and haven't ended up dead by the end credits. The James Bond films began in 1962 with Dr.
After apologising to Bond, Vesper locks herself in the elevator just before it plunges into the waters below. Bond frantically tries to save her life, but in a final gesture, she kisses Bond's hands as if to absolve him of guilt and lets herself drown.
Sorry Madeleine, Vesper Lynd will always be James Bond's one true love. In No Time To Die, the audience bids farewell to someone they've known and loved since 2006. No, I'm not talking about Daniel Craig. Four films since we met her, we say goodbye to Vesper Lynd.
Betrayal. While both are in a hospital to recover from torture, Bond and Vesper fall deeply in love, and Bond plans to resign from the service in order to be with her. As in the novel, Bond and Vesper go on holiday to Venice, hoping to start a new life.
According to reports from The Sun, the offer to portray Bond has been extended to Taylor-Johnson, and Eon Productions is eagerly awaiting his response to kickstart production on a new film. 'It's a big decision," James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli told Variety in 2022.
Killing off Judi Dench's M in Skyfall was a bold move to revitalize the 007 franchise after Quantum of Solace's poor reception. Dench's departure was part of a plan to give Bond a new world with a new M, introducing major changes after the problematic previous film.
In that sense, the death scene in No Time to Die was about more than clearing the table for another actor. It was about Craig making the cleanest possible break from the franchise that defined the last 15 years of his life. “The other was so that I could move on. I don't want to go back,” Craig said.
James Bond can come back because it will be a different version of the character. That won't be revolutionary, as Craig's Bond has always been his own thing, separate from the previous Bonds.
Since Daniel Craig announced No Time to Die would be his last outing as James Bond, there's been intense speculation on who the next Bond will be. In March 2024, the Sun reported Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been offered the role, but no formal announcement has been made yet.
Summary. Moneypenny and 007 have a platonic relationship in the James Bond movies, despite their intimate connection and flirtatious edge. The relationship between Moneypenny and Bond is complex and never fully consummated, with evidence of deeper emotions but limited physical intimacy on screen.
Severely wounded, he climbs a ladder to the roof and calls Madeleine to tell her he loves her. Bond and Madeleine Swann bring us on an emotional rollercoaster. "You have all the time in the world," he says. "She does have your eyes," she responds, confirming that Mathilde is his daughter.
That film ends with the revelation that Bond's first true love, Vesper, was being blackmailed by a villainous figure. At their behest, she worked to entrap Bond but later sacrificed her life in order to save his.
Bond may still have felt that he could have helped Vesper if she had taken her own life, but in the movie version of Casino Royale, it is unambiguous that Vesper locks herself in the elevator because she believes it is impossible for both her and Bond to escape at the same time.
The three big loves of Bond's life were Tracy (Diana Rigg) from 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Eva Green's Vesper from Casino Royale and Léa Seydoux's Madeleine Swann, who was introduced in Spectre. Of course, it could be argued that 007 developed strong feelings for many of the women he courted along the way.
Nevertheless, the truth was that Mathis was always Bond's ally and friend, and never betrayed him. Vesper Lynd was the one who informed Le Chiffre that Bond had recognized his tell when bluffing during the game.
For example, Madonna would be far and away the wealthiest ex-Bond Girl – with a net worth of $850 million – except she only made a cameo in “Die Another Day” (2002) as the fencing instructor, Verity. The Bond Girl title is usually reserved for the main female character in the film with whom 007 spends the most scenes.
Monica Bellucci in Spectre became the oldest Bond girl at the age of 50, although she stated that she does not consider herself to be a "Bond girl", but a "Bond woman".
Doody was listed as one of 12 Promising New Actors of 1986 in John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 38. Still only 18 when she appeared in the role, Doody was – and remains – the youngest Bond girl to date.
