Maybe 4 movies? Craig is great but if Hardy is your guy I wish he’d have just taken over after Skyfall. 43 just gives you too much ‘creepy guy at the bar’ potential like what happened with Moore.

Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson (Bond's longtime producers) serious lack of vision and poor decision making has basically backed them into a corner.
They were going to allow Craig to walk back after
Spectre (a massive letdown, IMO), which would have been the perfect time to hire Hardy or Elba or someone else, which they floated, but ultimately persuaded Craig to return. Then, they had issues with the story, then the director and now COVID, so instead of a new Bond film in 2018 with a new actor in the role, it'll likely be 2021 before
No Time To Die is released, with Craig an afterthought with the next movie nowhere in sight.
You'd think that people in positions of power, like Broccoli & Wilson (who also share the same father), would be far smarter and have a plan in place for such occurrences but often times, they're clueless.
Some people truly are born into positions of power, yet have no idea how to wield that power.
