I'd like to think that one major reason its been a tad difficult to find and unveil the next Bond is because for 15 years, Daniel Craig essentially, reinvented or gave the film franchise series character a more serious, down-to-earth, less-campy and cheesy CGI frills and a Bond who was more relatable, flesh-and-blood, but who's movies touched on more serious geopoliitical themes, context, and villians that werent one-or-two dimensional types.

Daniel Craig did an amazing, first-rate job and he should be lauded for helping revive some vitality, focus and intensity to James Bond franchise. Pierce Brosnan was and remains a great actor, but most of his James Bond films were silly, cheesy, and lackluster.
 
if they're rebooting for us, it's with foreknowledge that agent 007 james bond is dead

guess they could rename him "jameis bonde" and skirt that whole "we already know how he dies" thing

smh
 
From Kick-arse to James Bond. Quite a leap there.
 

Bond 26 is in the works​

"The popular James Bond film series is undergoing a major shift for the next installment, as Daniel Craig's five-movie run ended with 2021's No Time To Die. That means someone else, for the first time since 2006's Casino Royale, is stepping up to play James Bond. The producers have also talked about a "reinvention" of the character for the inevitable next movie, which will be the 26th since the series first appeared on the scene back in 1962 with Dr. No."

I mean Bond has been around since the 60s so the Bond Craig played was obviously not the Connery Bond, I don't even think the Moore Bond was the Connery Bond. And the Dalton Bond wasn't the Moore Bond, etc.

The films rarely acknowledge prior events. Although the Craig films did with reoccuring characters / organizations (Blofield / SPECTRE) and going to Vesper's grave - who appeared in Casino Royale.

Edit: Well reading a Reddit thread it appears I'm kinda wrong - even the earlier films do mention prior events. There does seem to be a "consensus" that the Craig Bond was however a "hard reboot". I don't see how you can trace the Brosnan Bond go all the way back to the Connery Bond, because with the films mostly considered to occur in the "present day", thats spans ~40 years from Dr. No to Die Another Day. Bond was normally portrayed as someone in the age range of 35-50, with Moore being on the upper end. Even being generous and saying Bond started his career at 25, you're still talking about a nearly 65 year old as some martial arts bad arse.

You could probably consider the Moore Bond as a continuity for Connery (as well as Lazenby), and indeed Moore was portrayed as being older, but you start to get dicey with Dalton.

Peronsally I would consider the Dalton/Brosnan Bond as another "soft" reboot. The broader point is there was rarely overarching plots across movies. Most of the "continuing bad guys", such as Blofield, were with the same Bond actor.
