The name’s Bond—James Bond. The iconic super spy has been front and center in one of the most popular film franchises of the last 50 years. There have been many James Bond actors over the years, and each have brought a different flavor to the character.
And while the ever-changing cast of actors chosen to portray the fabled spy—Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Daniel Craig—has made their own mark, many traditions remain.
The tuxedo’s always been a staple. The code name will always be 007. The martinis will be shaken, not stirred. And there will always be a bevy of badass Bond girls.
And, as of early 2018, we’ll have some more continuity to look forward to: After years of rumors, Craig confirmed he’ll reprise the role for another film (possibly two) and take Bond into the next generation.
Here’s a look at all the major Bond films through the years, and the James Bond actors who played the badass spy.
