Connery plays James Bond/007 until the 1990es

What if Sean Connery plays every single Bond movie for 30 + years including Golden Eye in 1995 ( If it would have been shot in that particular year that year) ? Maybe he retires in the mid to late 90es ?

He'd be 65 by Goldeneye. Roger Moore went on way too long and it became risible. Also, have you seen Diamonds Are Forever lately? Connery was in his early forties and looked pretty out of shape. In Never Say Never Again his hairpiece looked dreadful and his fight scenes were comical.

I genuinely think Connery would have killed himself if he somehow had to star in 17 consecutive Bond films, but long before that his visible lack of interest during Diamonds would have killed the franchise stone dead if it continued unabated for another 10 films.
 
Agree with Ignsoc. Connery wouldn't be anymore on shape on 1980's. Didn't he break his wrist during filming of Never Say Again? It would be for him pretty risky play such action character to 90's.
 
Hmm...

Probably not possible unless Connery's character becomes more of a background figure (maybe a senior agent mentor figure, or even the head of the service) or the character evolves, relying on gadgets, charisma, and age and experience to defeat/outwit enemies rather than straight out action.

The easiest way would be for there to be a lot fewer James Bond movies. He does a couple that Roger Moore did iOTL, then sets his price so high that they stop making them.

Then someone tries to reboot the Franchise after a couple of decades with Goldeneye (different movie, same name. same year, just by coincidence).
 
Anyone ever think that Connery in "The Rock" was James Bond? ;)

I thought that was semi-canon. Notably, there's a scene in which he meets his daughter, in which it's clear that before being imprisoned, he had a lot of one-night stands with women, i.e. the most important non-action defining characteristic of James Bond.
 
Watch "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the crystal skull"

I do not want to be disrespectfull (I'm a great fan of Harrison Ford), but that's what happens when a "elder" try to record a movie when he's too old to play the character, if Sean Connery continued being the James Bond, the franchise would lose more and more public during the 80s until they replaced him or just ended the franchise
 
Not to mention he grew to hate the fact the roll had typecasted him so much by the late-70s he was willing to take the lead act in Zardoz... Zardoz!

Sean Connery played a character older than himself in that movie.
