James Bond has never gotten (and probably never will get) a true finale. As soon as George Lazenby took over the role from Sean Connery and the idea of recasting the character every few years was formed, it became clear that no matter the risks he faced or how old he got 007 would never really die and he would certainly never retire—he’d simply reappear after awhile with a new face.
