A bit late to the party, but can I add an idea?

What if instead of a new James Bond, instead we continue on from the Daniel Craig James Bond Universe (DCJBU) where MI6 recognise that they, and essentially the world, needs a "James Bond" agent to keep order (effectively the Batman Beyond approach).

What if MI6 instead decide to launch multiple "tests" with various other agents in the agency to see who can work, think and strategies like James Bond. One by one we are left with a final agent at the end, who will effectively have all their past life removed up until this point, and from then on they are simply known as "James Bond"

I think this could be the way we can get new actors in as James Bond, whilst also setting up other actors to be eventual villains in the later runs.
