After five films and 15 years in the role, Craig helped usher in a grittier era for the long-running franchise, delivering some of 007's most memorable big-screen adventures along the way. Now, the search for his successor is heating up. No replacement has been officially announced, but fans could find out who will inherit the famous tuxedo before the end of the year. While audiences wait for the next chapter of the franchise, there's an opportunity to revisit one of Craig's Bond adventures — unfortunately, it's leaving streaming soon and time is running out to watch it again. Quantum of Solace's last day on Paramount Plus is Nov. 18, 2026. The movie is scheduled to leave the streaming service on Nov. 19, so subscribers shouldn't wait too long to catch up with Craig's sophomore outing as 007. What is Quantum of Solace about? Released in 2008, Quantum of Solace picks up shortly after the events of Casino Royale, with James Bond still dealing with the death of Vesper Lynd, the woman he fell in love with during his previous mission. Determined to uncover the truth behind her betrayal and death, Bond sets out to track down the people responsible. His investigation leads him to Dominic Greene, a ruthless businessman secretly working with a mysterious organization known as Quantum. Greene is plotting to seize control of a valuable natural resource, putting Bond on a collision course with a dangerous conspiracy.

Quantum of Solace is an important entry in Craig's Bond era, but its critical reception was somewhat divided. The film currently holds a 63% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, alongside a 58% audience score. Most reviews praised its intense action sequences and Craig's performance, although some felt it has a weaker story than Casino Royale. Still, with plenty of explosive action and another compelling performance from Craig, Quantum of Solace is worth revisiting for anyone looking to celebrate his time as 007.
