Craig, who has reportedly signed up for two more films, would do well to heed the lessonLegacy matters in cinema. Lawyers for Mary L Johnson, of Pierce County, Washington, argue that most reasonable people would expect these films to be included in a comprehensive collection of Bond movies. Never Say Never Again will always be part of Sean Connery’s legacy as 007. Instead, the spiky cool of the early Bond movies evaporated as the series indulged in increasingly over-the-top plots that moved away from Fleming’s novels, and added hokey one-liners. Yet Bond with a wife or long-term partner in tow simply would not be 007 as we know him.
