• In 1984, Pierce Brosnan’s wife had a part in For Your Eyes Only, and met producer Albert Broccoli on the movie set. Roger Moore was preparing to step down from the role, and Broccoli felt Brosnan would be the perfect replacement. Brosnan was offered the role in 1986, but was forced to decline due to his contract for the TV series Remington Steele. Timothy Dalton then got another chance at the Bond role, when he was selected for 1987’s The Living Daylights and 1989’s Licence to Kill, bringing a more serious interpretation of the character back into the role after Moore’s light-hearted approach.

• There was a four-year gap before the return of James Bond, this time in the form of Daniel Craig, who was met with a negative reaction. However, it didn’t take long for filmgoers to take a liking to the new Bond in 2006’s Casino Royale. It was followed up with Quantum of Solace in 2008. The year of Bond’s 50th anniversary, 2012, marked the release of Skyfall, which has become the highest-grossing Bond film of all time, overtaking Thunderball, starring Connery, which had held the title for 47 years. Craig is the first Bond actor to be younger than the Bond series.
