10 Recent Plot Twists That Changed Movie Franchises Forever

1. James Bond Dies - No Time To Die

With 25 instalments under his belt and a name recognised worldwide, there's no question James Bond is among the most powerful movie franchises in cinema. Nevertheless, there are naysayers who complain how predictable the series is.

After all, every entry has 007 churning out one-liners, getting the girl, and saving the world, right? Even though the cool gadgets, creative action sequences, and well-choreographed fight sequences are entertaining, some people argue that it's all gotten a bit samey and Bond can't shock viewers anymore.

However, anyone who has seen No Time to Die would strongly disagree since the most recent instalment throws the biggest blinder possible - James Bond actually dies.

And the film isn't coy about it. You witness the legendary spy being reduced to atoms. You don't get more dead than that.

It goes without saying that isn't the last we've seen of 007. (The studio is already trying to find Daniel Craig's replacement right now.) Even though the series is sure to continue for years to come, there may never be a moment as shocking as the day James Bond died.
