Why have they made so many movies about the 7th best spy at MI6? Surely 001 would have been better suited for all those missions… 🤔

I never thought it was a ranking. Maybe the top six didn't have enough drama to make a movie about because they were that much better?

It's a countdown, next era will be 006 and so on.

007 is just a randomly assigned number lol
He might have been the 7th one hired since that position was created ever thought about that.
Or perhaps 1-6 died because they were crappy at their jobs. Hmmmmmmm?
