Considering this was an ongoing series with no end in sight, this method allowed anyone at any time to jump into the next movie without worrying about catching up on anything. The behaviors that would show up from film to film, like Bond flirting with Moneypenny, were character quirks and not things that would build over the course of the series. Part of the pleasure of Bond was that he received a new mission at the beginning of every film, which then saw him carry it out. The British actor being part of the preeminent British spy franchise would be a perfect closer on a stellar career, and given his affiliation with Nolan, it's entirely believable.The first 20 James Bond films may have brought actors and filmmakers over from one film to another, but the plots of those films rarely carried over. It wouldn't need to be a big role: just give audiences one last chance to see Caine on the big screen. Michael Caine has been a mainstay of many of Nolan's films from 'Batman Begins' to 'Tenet.' Caine stated in a 2023 interview with BBC Radio that he has retired from acting, but if he were to give one last hurrah, a Nolan Bond movie would be the perfect place. There's one particular piece of casting we'd love to see.

Plenty of other actors would jump at the opportunity to work with Nolan, even without dipping into his usual favorites like Cillian Murphy.

Robert Downey Jr., who starred in 'Oppenheimer,' told On Demand Entertainment about being offered the part, 'Can you imagine if Chris Nolan called you and said he wants you to be in his movie? You kind of go numb and then you're just nodding your head.' And that's Downey, one of the biggest actors of this era. That's not even getting into how impressive the supporting cast would be.
