So, into this nebulous gray area emerged Never Say Never Say Again in 1983, a Bond movie in which 007 (Connery) comes out of retirement to battle Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Max von Sydow). Kim Basinger also starred in the movie as Bond girl Domino, who was originally played by Claudine Auger in the 1965 version.

Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye performed a James Bond tribute to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who led the franchise for decades, at the Oscars.
