    I know that killing her off in Skyfall made for a powerful dramatic story but the series just isn't the same without her.

      Miss her as well! However, I think killing her off was actually a wise decision that makes her seven performances stand out even more. Her portrayal of M was so legendary that I'm subdividing the Bond series not only in "the Pierce Brosnan era" and "the Daniel Craig era" but also "the Judi Dench era".

    Until Judi Dench, M was just a backdrop character, someone for Bond to prove that he didn't give a damn about authority. Judi Dench changed our whole perspective of the character, someone who would act as a mentor to Bond, someone even Bond would be terrified of.

    Dame Judi always had amazing onscreen chemistry with Daniel Craig. That's not a knock on Pierce Brosnan's Bond either, just a fact. Judi & Daniel played off one another other brilliantly and as much as I love Ralph Fiennes as an actor, it's just not the same with him as M.

    You know when you have a great strong character......when no matter what gender they have they COMMAND the scene they are in, and Madame Judi Dench's M, did that since her FIRST SCENE as M, making any M before and AFTER irrelevant, for us and for the world there is only one M, and that is Madame JUDI DENCH.

    One of the greatest Bond movies had Judy Dench as M. However, we did have a female head of the security services, the highly successful Eliza Manningham-Buller. I know nothing of superheroes but I am interested in gender and sexuality. Who also comes to mind is Mrs Margaret Thatcher who was prime minister of the UK from 1979 until 1990. She transformed the UK. However, neither of these women got where they were by cancelling me but working with them. She did not negotiate with terrorists where before leaders did; she did not back out from the Falklands War. Margaret Thatcher kept her nerve. These are just some thoughts. Thank you for your critique of currently female leads as I found it very interesting.

    As a 90s girl and a bond fan, I had no clue M had ever been anything but a female character. When Ralph Fiennes took over in the end of 2013's Skyfall, I thought "Why on earth would they change the character from a female Bond boss providing the perfect amount of playboy-antivenom, to a male M"?! There will the casual interaction between the vain womanizer killing machine and his reprimanding female superior go (I get now that you have to redefine such determined characters at times and of course Fiennes is a great actor, it just felt unusual)? I obviously hadn't seen a lot of the old Bond classics at that point, so in my mind, M stood for something like "matriarch". 😄💪🏻

      It's more than that bond hates politics and politicians where she was more then a politician. She was someone who understands the spy game someone who has the guts to do what needs to be done and does not have a political agenda. She did what was best for the country and not the Government as was seen in skyfall. That is what bond respected.

    Now they want her back because she's making more movies and theater than before even with macula degeneration.

Judi doesn't read scripts precisely because of her eyesight. she has said this on numerous occasions. in fact, I don't think she's ever read any script ever. yet, she works more than any actor on the planet. they went with the storyline because, as you may have noticed, it was a billion $ storyline, and more. and, as ever, Judi killed it.
      they categorically do not want her back. your statement is simply an absolute fabrication. they killed her off, cremated her, read her will out and had her replaced in the job! how on earth could they possibly justify bringing her back?

    I know the Bond franchise isn't known for offshoots and side stories, but I would love to see a movie about her in her youth as an intelligence agent during the Cold War. It would give us the female version of Bond without actually replacing the character. It's an opportunity to ressurect some of the quirks of the original Bond films, with young M using whit, cunning, and even seduction to get the job done while also a chance to explore the world of actual Cold War espionage.

      she was an 80yr old actress who had a good hour of screen time in a film that ultimately grossed over a billion dollars and which was, at one point, the 7th highest grossing film in history. I'd say this constitutes as some damn good screen time. I'd also be willing to bet Judi would agree.
