Haven't they pretty much slid every actor that plays Bond in and out with no explanation? Craig is obviously unique because he got to play the true introduction movie (Royale). So the Craig story line went from James Bond earning the 007 moniker and now dead.
I wonder how they reintroduce James Bond. It will be interesting for sure.

No, they've never literally killed Bond before. In the Pre-Title sequence of You Only Live twice Bond faked his death. Bond was in a Murphy bed. The bed folded up into the wall when some goons came in with machine guns and shot up the bed. When the bed folded down, blood has seen on the sheets beside Bond. The movie was even advertised as Bond will die. Other than that, Bond flatlined in Die Another Day and was brought back to life. Bond flatlined again in Casino Royale only to be revived by Vesper.
As for re-introducing Bond, the only way is a hard re-boot. Kind of hard to bring someone back from being shown incinerated by a missile. Of course, one of the early ideas that Cary has for this movie was to have some of it taking place in Bonds head. At some point in the movie, Bond was to wake up and still be in Blofeld torture chair in Spectre. If they wanted to go that route they could. The idea was scrapped. I think they go back to stand alone missions. The series may take a couple years off then a new actor will be introduced. I'd like to see if they could pull of what Marvel has done. Do stand alone missions, but have a sub-plot in each movie that slowly tells a story.
