"At the end of No Time to Die, Craig's Bond is infected by nanobots in his blood, which are programmed to poison his lover Madeleine (Léa Seydoux) or their daughter, Mathilde, if he gets too close to them ever again. Without a chance of reuniting, Bond understandably loses his will to live. His ultimate demise comes at the hands of a missile strike - an unbelievably bleak ending, anyway you slice it."
"The Bond saga is gearing up to reboot itself for the sixth time in its 60-year history as a film franchise, which began back in 1962 with Dr. No. The upcoming film will be the first without participation from the Broccoli estate and EON Productions, which held the rights for 25 films, until Amazon seized creative control in early 2025. But, for some pundits, that's not the only wrinkle complicating this reboot."
Daniel Craig's Bond dies definitively in No Time to Die after nanobots in his blood threaten Madeleine or their daughter Mathilde if he approaches them, and a missile strike finishes him off. The franchise is preparing a sixth reboot since 1962 and will be the first film without Broccoli estate and EON Productions involvement after Amazon seized creative control in early 2025. Writers and creative staff face narrative challenges because the on-screen death is explicit and irreversible, complicating plans to recast Bond younger and placing pressure on screenwriter Steven Knight.
