Timothy Dalton famously didn't get make a third James Bond movie, which is majorly disappointing considering one unofficial franchise rule.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT An unofficial rule about James Bond actors makes Timothy Dalton's franchise exit all the sadder. Every time the James Bond movies recast the title character is an event. There was serious doubt the series could survive Sean Connery's exit, but after a shaky transition thanks to George Lazenby quitting the role after only one movie, Roger Moore went on to become beloved in the part.
This didn't suit Moore's debonair rendition, so it was largely dropped from his future 007 performances. The above Bond movies also had the benefit of filmmakers and audiences seeing what worked and what didn't, resulting in sequels that were crafted to their star's strengths. That said, this theory didn't translate to Pierce Brosnan's third Bond adventure, The World Is Not Enough.
Alas, the property soon ran into legal trouble that would see Bond absent from the big screen for six years. When Dalton's original contract ran out, he was ready to move on, though he briefly considered a return for GoldenEye. However, when he was told he would need to commit to multiple 007 adventures beyond GoldenEye, he officially stepped down and Pierce Brosnan inherited the part.
Why Dalton's Bond Exit Was A Bigger Disappointment Than Lazenby's Of the six actors who've played James Bond, only two of them failed to reach a third movie. There's obviously Dalton, who was a victim of circumstance, but George Lazenby is a different story. The Australian model managed to beat out many other contenders for the role in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and once production was complete, he was offered a multiple-film contract that he passed on.
