"They" would be the writers tblue37 Sep 2022 #6

What?

It’s a big budget movie! Do you think they improvised it?

The writers and producers planned Bond’s demise. That’s how movies are made.

Soon, the producers will come up with a reboot. 007 is the most successful movie franchise in history. Bond is a cash cow. He’ll be back.

But you know, Mi6 have been deceiving us all along. It isn't "007" that's a code name, "James Bond" is actually a code name for a variety of different fellows who have held the job over the years.

On edit: Shows how much I know, the guy is already dead.
