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.

I'm surprised there isn't a long term plan for film releases in a similar fashion to MCU. I don't mean that they necessarily needed to be connected in plot, theme, or style, but maybe at least have an idea for a plot a few years in advance with some outlines written. Or maybe they do. Now that I am thinking about it, I am somewhat surprised they haven't turned Bond into a much larger film universe with at least 1 spinoff film. Bad shit in that universe has to occur at times when 007 is unavailable or out on some other mission.
