What the new streaming home means for the Bond franchise
More exposure for the series is far from a bad thing

However, 20 of the films released on Pluto can only be a good thing for the future of the franchiseas it provides more exposure for the series. This could be more important than ever as the quest to cast a new actor to play Bond continues, and any new era of the character will want to start off on the right foot.
