The James Bond<\/a> franchise is one of the most iconic in cinema history, with 27 beloved films spanning more than six decades.<\/p>\n

Based on the novels about fictional British agent 007, created by Sir Ian Fleming, the films have given us nail-biting action sequences<\/a>, Bond girls<\/a> to fall in love with, futuristic gadgets<\/a>, and some of the most cutting one-liners<\/a> you could imagine.<\/p>\n

Several stars have taken the role of the martini-drinking secret agent over the years, from the first man to officially don the legendary tux, Sean Connery<\/a>, to the most recent stint from Daniel Craig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The search is officially on for the next Bond<\/a>, with everyone from Idris Elba<\/a>,\u00a0Henry Cavill<\/a>, Reg\u00e9-Jean Page<\/a>, Theo James<\/a>, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/a> rumoured for the legendary role.<\/p>\n

These rumours have only intensified with Amazon Studios\u00a0officially purchasinh MGM for $8.45billion (\u00a36.7billion) in 2022, with a\u00a0new agreement over creative control<\/a>\u00a0meaning Bond is entirely under the streamer\u2019s control after Barbara and Michael Broccoli handed over the reigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everyone has their opinion on the best \u2013 and worst<\/a> \u2013 of the Bond franchise, with review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> giving us a definitive ranking of every film based on critics\u2019 reviews.<\/p>\n
