I've always thought that the name and designation "James Bond, 007" in the movies should be a position/title rather than an actual person. This picture would be a great showcase for that concept. Imagine Sean Connery, retired as 007 and now, perhaps, holding the office of "M," while a younger man replaces him as 007 and assumes the name and "false history" of this James Bond person - who may or may not have ever existed in the context of the story. You could therefore imagine all those former 007 survivors getting together for a drink now and then, as depicted here.
