The end of Daniel Craig’s stage as James Bond

No Time To Die showed the end of the stage Craig as the famous agent.

The different versions of Agent 007 in the cinema

The Craig movies were already a reinvention of 007 and ran as a stand-alone series, rebooting the character. All previous versions of the agent loosely followed the same continuity, with only the actors changing over the years.

Although the five actors who followed Connery emulated the original interpretation of James Bond to some extent, they each added something unique to the character. Roger Moore was an older Bond with a charming personality and hints of comedy, while the films of Timothy Dalton they introduced a tougher, more violent 007. Craig’s version added trauma to a franchise many had called outdated..
