No Time To Die's Story Was Better Than Danny Boyle's Bond Origin Plan
No Time to Die gave the ultimate send-off to Daniel Craig's take on James Bond, but director Danny Boyle had a much different idea in mind for Craig's swan song. Craig's Bond was the first to have an overarching story linking each of his five films, which made giving the proper conclusion to his story a task that was all the more important to pull off correctly. Thankfully, 007 was given an emotionally-charged farewell with one of the finest Bond films to date in No Time to Die, ending his story in a satisfying manner.
Before director Cary Joji Fukunaga took the reins of the finale and delivered his exhilarating send-off to Craig's 15-year tenure as the iconic British MI6 agent, director Danny Boyle was attached to the project and had a very different outlook on where the story of No Time to Die would take Bond. Boyle's narrative had 007 in Russia, uncovering his origins while a present-day plot unfolded. While he hasn't unveiled much more about his version of the film than this description, it's safe to say that this was a wildly different conclusion than the one that the character received in No Time to Die.

Bond's arc is a perfect culmination of his five-movie saga and the themes of loss and heroism that made his interpretation of the character so memorable.
