A lot of fans wanted to see Timothy Dalton get his third Bond movie but it was actually good for the 007 franchise that he didn't get it.
Certain James Bond fans have clamored for a third Timothy Dalton Bond movie over the years, but not getting one was actually good for the 007 franchise. Dalton assumed the mantle of Ian Fleming's super spy in The Living Daylights in 1987 and Licence to Kill in 1989, representing a darker, more mercurial Bond in the '80s era of excess. Yet after just two movies Dalton was gone, joining George Lazenby as one of the two most short-lived Bonds.
A Third Dalton Bond Movie Would Have Changed Brosnan's Bond Era Though Brosnan had already starred in the popular Remington Steele television series prior to becoming Bond, the role made him a superstar, but a third Dalton Bond movie would have changed Brosnan's Bond era.
It's difficult to imagine a comical Dalton given how brooding and emotional performance, not to mention Dalton's darkest kill as Bond is still one of the most disturbing in the franchise, particularly as it involves sending a security guard into a container filled with maggots. Even if fans didn't respond well to the grittiness of Licence to Kill, jumping ahead so drastically might have just made the Bond franchise sink to a new low.
