Yeah, I'm also more interested in seeing how they go on, I'm guessing it'll be another reboot instead of trying to continue off as if Bond has always existed which they used to do. I could see them trying something "new" to keep it alive, but doesn't now Amazon have the rights to bond movies? So I guess it depends a lot on them now. It could really go a few routes, a more "traditional" bond, just another Daniel Craig, or a radically different one.
My interest in bond is mostly because my father was a huge fan. Of course he didn't really like any of the bonds starting with Pierce Brosman though he tolerated him a bit but absolutely despised Daniel Craig, he said that wasn't James Bond. Of course he loved Sean Connery and he also liked Roger Moore. I can't remember what he thought of George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton but I don't think he disliked them.
I grew up with Goldeneye and the Pierece Brosman films but I do remember catching some reruns of the James Bond Jr cartoon. Eon films really missed the boat on not making a All Bonds movie, couldn't have been sillier than some of the Brosman films.

Will there be some in-story thing where they do, in fact, make Bond and 007 mantle that can just be handed to another person? There aren't any rules in the Bond Kelvin universe, so I dunno.

I hate comic book sliding timelines so I always found the James Bond 007 being a mantle an awesome idea even if it's contradicted by having a bond reference something another bond did. Though if they do the mantle thing now the chances of a black/female bond could be much higher, and for James Bond that is indeed a franchise killer.
