James Bond's death in No Time To Die would make it much easier to reboot the entire franchise after Daniel Craig's imminent departure from the role.

No Time To Die Could Kill Off Daniel Craig's James Bond
The death flags are very much out for Daniel Craig's James Bond, but the biggest omen is how fitting a hero's death would be for the current Bond from a narrative perspective. Compared to previous Bond actors, Craig's run of films has been far more self-contained, charting 007 on his overarching journey from a beginner in Casino RoyaleSpectreCasino RoyaleNo Time To Die

If the rumors of Bond spawning a 007 Jr. prove true, this would play neatly into the old spy's death. Bond has traditionally been seen in somewhat of a selfish, self-glorified light, but much like Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame
The Problem With James Bond Continuing Without Killing Off Daniel Craig's 007
Not only would the death of Daniel Craig's 007 make sense in the context of the current film series, it would also benefit the future of the franchise and whichever actor settles their backside into the Aston Martin next. As mentioned above, the continuity of the Craig era has been stronger than with any previous actor. Modern audiences are geared much more towards serialized storytelling than the multiplex patrons of decades past. Removing one Bond actor only to parachute in another with no acknowledgement of the switch doesn't work anymore. In our time of shared universes and infinite sequels, continuity reigns supreme. When Craig finally hangs up his Walther PPK, it's highly unlikely that Idris Elba will suddenly appear, introduce himself as James Bond, and begin chatting with Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris like being retired and having blond hair was all one big dream.

Craig first began contributing to Screen Rant in 2016, several years after graduating college, and has been ranting ever since, mostly to himself in a darkened room. Having previously written for various sports and music outlets, Craig's interest soon turned to TV and film, where a steady upbringing of science fiction and comic books finally came into its own. Craig has previously been published on sites such as Den of Geek, and after many coffee-drenched hours hunched over a laptop, part-time evening work eventually turned into a full-time career covering everything from the zombie apocalypse to the Starship Enterprise via the TARDIS. Since joining the Screen Rant fold, Craig has been involved in breaking news stories and mildly controversial ranking lists, but now works predominantly as a features writer. Jim Carrey is Craig’s top acting pick and favorite topics include superheroes, anime and the unrecognized genius of the High School Musical trilogy.
