Craig began his tenure as James Bond, 007, in 2006's Casino Royale, which launched as a pseudo reboot of the series, focusing on Bond's origin, rather than simply jumping into the series with his status firmly established. The film set up a storyline for Bond as well, which would reverberate through the rest of the films, playing out like a mini-series of Bond films rather than a series of standalone films.
All other eras of Bond actors, from Sean Connery to Roger Moore to Timothy Dalton to Pierce Brosnan, featured the stars in multiple films as the legendary character, but never in a recurring story that echoed from film to film.
