A subreddit to discuss anything and everything related to Ian Fleming's James Bond 007.
Sean Connery - The Jungle Book
George Lazenby - Tintin and the Temple of the Sun
Roger Moore - E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
Timothy Dalton - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Pierce Brosnan - Titanic
Daniel Craig - Avengers: Endgame
Edit: I didn't include Never Say Never Again in this (because I forgot to). If that's counted then Sean Connery's is Star Wars.

I'm surprised Craig and Brosnan weren't in those movies. Pierce totally could have been in Billy Zanes role, or some rich yuppy on the ship. And everybody and their mother was in endgame
Honestly, the role was probably too small for Brosnan at that point.
Much bigger than dicaprio and winslett and he probably would've bailed whenever production got ugly. Those two had enough sunk money and too few options to move on. He would've been the biggest star in it by far.
That's what I'm saying.
TIL that The Jungle Book was the most financially successful movie between 1962 and 1971. Would not have guessed that.
Same. But even more surprising is that some Tintin movie was the highest grossing film of 1969 worldwide. In fact, I’m not sure I believe that. I can’t find anything online that confirms it (but to be fair, can’t find anything that refutes it either).
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
To be fair Roger Moore was up for the part of ET but they went with someone less wrinkly. They also went with someone less hairy than Connery to play Baloo for the Jungle Book.
Connery circa Diamonds Are Forever could have made a passable Baloo.
Connery as Baloo: "Look for the bare nesheshities, the shimple bare nesheshities..."
Dalton could absolutely replace Julian Glover and play the same character and keep Conery as Indy’s father
Nah, imagine Dalton as Indy’s father
Dalton is 3 years younger than Harrison ford. How would that work?
That was the joke
Glover was awesome but man it would have been so cool if Dalton had the part!
Did Last Crusade really make more money than Batman 1989? That’s not how I remember it but worldwide figures might be different?
Also, which Connery run? The Godfather came out either the same year as DAF or the year after and that film made a fair chunk of cash.
Edit: Does 1993 still count as Dalton era? In that case it would probably be Jurassic Park.
Just to clear things up a bit, I counted each Bond's run as starting on the date of their first film release and ending on the date of their final film release. Since Lazenby was only in one, I searched the second highest film released that same day (since OHMSS saw first)
Worldwide, yes. But in the US, Batman outgrossed Indy.
Just checked, Batman 1989 came out just 6 days after Dalton's run ended, and 6 years before Brosnan started.
I’m going to offer a benefit of a doubt that you might be talking about a specific region where the films were released in a different order, but I was there and in North America at least Batman had already been out for a month or more before LTK came out. Last Crusade was starting to wrap up its cinematic tenure. Lethal Weapon 2 and Honey I Shrunk the Kids trounced LTK.
Technically, Craig was in the highest-grossing movie of his run pre-Endgame.
edit: nvm, I forgot about Avatar.
