Ashutosh Sahoo
The man, the myth, the number
Meet James Bond, Agent 007. A peerless spy, notorious womanizer, and a global masculine icon created by Ian Fleming.
Forged in war, born in paradise
The character was conceived by author and former naval intelligence officer Ian Fleming, who used his real-world espionage experience from WWII.
The birthplace: Goldeneye
Fleming wrote the first novel, Casino Royale, in 1952 at his serene Jamaican estate, "Goldeneye," seeking to write the "spy story to end all spy stories."
The spy with a stolen name
Seeking a plain, simple name, Fleming borrowed it from an author on his bookshelf: American ornithologist Dr. James Bond.
From page to silver screen
In 1962, Sean Connery brought 007 to life in Dr. No. This launched one of the most successful and enduring film franchises in history.
The many faces of 007
From Sean Connery to Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, and more, each actor has redefined the superspy for a new generation.
A modern, grittier reboot
Daniel Craig’s arrival in Casino Royale (2006) restarted the character's history, introducing a tougher, more complex post-Cold War Bond.
A day to celebrate Bond
October 5th is celebrated as "James Bond Day," marking the anniversary of Dr. No's world premiere in 1962.
The ultimate mystery: Who is next?
As fans celebrate, a huge question remains. A new director is on board, but the identity of the next actor to play 007 is a closely guarded secret
The next mission awaits
The search is on for a new, younger actor to inherit the tuxedo and the license to kill. The world is watching and waiting for the next chapter.
