It may not be planned as the last one but that might wind up happening once the audience sees what's planned for future outings.I could be wrong, but I doubt Bond 25 will be the last one. It might be Craig's last one though.

Random fact - we live up the road from where the Fleming family lived, and had our wedding reception at the ridiculously large village hall paid for by them. You could easily fit the entire population of the village it’s in several times over!
Ahead of the theatrical release of James Bond film "No Time To Die" on October 8 in the United States, a 45-minute retrospective titled "Being James Bond" will be available to watch for free through the Apple TV app, according to Deadline.
The 45-minute video from MGM is said to feature Daniel Craig reflecting on his 15 years playing Bond, with never-before-seen archival footage from his conversations with producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The retrospective will be available for free through the Apple TV app in over 30 regions from September 7 through October 7.
Amazon in May announced it reached an agreement with MGM to acquire the entertainment company for $8.45 billion, following a report last year that claimed MGM had reached out to companies like Apple and Netflix to gauge interest in a potential acquisition. Amazon said it would help preserve MGM's heritage and catalog of films, and provide customers with greater access to MGM's existing works, such as the James Bond franchise.

This might be true, the decisions and direction of Bond25 could kill the franchise.It may not be planned as the last one but that might wind up happening once the audience sees what's planned for future outings.
Considering all the book properties that haven't made a transition to film yet you'd think Hollywood would be mining them for future franchises, instead of resurrecting the desiccated corpses of old TV shows and movies that nobody wants to see. I can think of dozens of properties that would make great films if Hollywood could somehow hoodwink the authors into believing that their properties wouldn't be bastardized like so many others.Hollywood is out of ideas, so they will most likely resurrect the Bond franchise eventually with a reboot.
It’s called “go woke, go broke”. It definitely needed reshooting and a tonne of edits. Hopefully fixed.Covid was blamed for the release delay in the spring of 2020, but according the the rumors, Covid was only a convenient scapegoat, as the real reason was due to poor test screening results.
The test audience really hated how Bond was being portrayed. There were rumors saying that Bond 25 was originally going to have a plot/narrative that was popular with a lot of the 2016-2020 movies, many of which ended up being financial failures.
MGM, United Artists, etc. were worried about Bond 25 flopping like the others, so a few weeks worth of reshoots were ordered to save the movie, and it would have happened regardless of Covid.
Not sure if all that is true, but it something is happening to Bond 25 with all the reshoots.
One of my favorites.Craig was great in Casino Royale.
I agree.I also think Dalton was underrated.
Yup, but I personally didn't like Moore as Bond, especially in his later entries.I think people didn’t like his character as it was harder edged than a Roger Moore.
Yep that was fun to watch, for sure! Thanks for the reminder! I might go back and watch that one again, now.People know this is just a 2 hour escape from reality don’t they? It is not trying to be an Academy nominated film for its acting. Stunts, music and effects (sometimes), but never for the acting.
One of the best stunt scenes was from Skyfall on motorbikes.
Craig was great in Casino Royale. Of all the Bond movies it was closest to the book.
The next one was *****.
Brosnan could have been good, but he didn’t get to do it until too old, and his scripts (except maybe goldeneye) were absolute rubbish.
I also think Dalton was underrated. I think people didn’t like his character as it was harder edged than a Roger Moore.
Actually, why not make a decent Moonraker actually aligned with the book?
Hollywood is indeed out of ideas. They will make it into a fake reality show, and put 007 on Dancing With the Bridezillas, or some such tripe....Hollywood is out of ideas, so they will most likely resurrect the Bond franchise eventually with a reboot.
Think you just described ios.Bond movies are 10% product placement, 40% photography/scenery, 30% special effects/CGI/action choreography, 15% women, 5% script.
Being generous with the script there.
It’s not coming to end, it’s hugely profitable. It’s just that Craig is getting too old for the role and needs to be replaced by a new actor; as happened to Connery, Moore, etc.Will enjoy the last James Bond film when it finally comes out. Grew up watching them as a kid so sad to see it end.
Daniel Craig, best Bond ever, he even manages to surpass Connery. The franchise needed a reboot after the increasing silliness of the Bronson period and competition from the more realistic Bourne franchise.Daniel Craig, hands down the worst James Bond. So unemotional, stoic, not funny, not expressive of anything. And boring. I can't rewatch any of his films.
