Among these are Eva Green's Vesper Lynd who, in addition to appearing in Casino Royale, is referenced in No Time to Die. Now, as filmmakers seek to revitalize Bond again, audiences are looking back on Daniel Craig's trailblazing era and the many different supporting characters who helped make it memorable. The most recent era, helmed by Daniel Craig, already made massive changes to the iconic superspy, including giving him a recurring love interest and even a daughter. Updated on October 31st, 2023 by Jordan Iacobucci : The James Bond franchise is in flux, as producers secretly plan what form the twenty-sixth installment will take. However, in Casino Royale's climax, Vesper pays the ultimate price for betrayal. They had an admittedly complex relationship, especially because Vesper lied and cheated to fraternize with the enemy and put Bond's life on the line. As fans recall, Vesper, played by Eva Green, appeared in Casino Royale as the most notorious Bond girl (possibly until Agent Paloma) to act alongside Craig. During that time, he visits the grave of Vesper Lynd.
In No Time To Die's first act, Bond is in Matera, Italy, with his new love interest Madeleine Swann. The film did a massive service to Daniel Craig's last outing as James Bond by mentioning a character from his first film.
