Originally, James Bond's most reliable confidante was killed off shortly after his debut. Luckily, 007's creators reconsidered this shocking death.
While Bond’s longtime confidante Felix Leiter was eventually killed off in a James Bond franchise outing, the supporting star originally died far earlier in the spy series. Felix Leiter has always occupied an interesting place in the James Bond franchise. In both the original James Bond novels and their movie adaptations, Leiter is 007’s friend in the CIA and the supporting character is a consistently trustworthy asset to Bond, even though Leiter is not technically the spy’s co-worker .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This is notable because Bond’s love interests, the spy’s sources, and even his oldest friends are frequently revealed to be double agents. However, even in No Time To Die's dark timeline, Leiter remains a faithful friend to Bond. That 2021 outing did subvert Leiter’s role in the spy franchise, however, when No Time To Die killed off Leiter near the movie’s ending.
Ian Fleming Killed Felix Leiter In Live and Let Die Felix Leiter might die in No Time To Die, but the character was originally killed off in his second novel appearance, Live and Let Die. While Live and Let Die become an infamously goofy Roger Moore James Bond movie, the original novel was not as light and silly as its screen adaptation. The first draft of the book featured Live and Let Die’s villain engineering a shark attack that claimed the life of Leiter.
As a result, Leiter instead lost a leg and a hand but lived through the ordeal. The next James Bond novel, Diamonds Are Forever, debuted Leiter’s new look. This allowed Fleming to prove that, while the character may not have died, he did sustain some serious life-altering injuries from his run-in with Live and Let Die’s villain. However, when the time came to adapt this 007 book to the big screen, Sean Connery’s Diamonds Are Forever movie arrived before Moore’s Live and Let Die.
Why Felix Leiter’s No Time To Die Death Was Better Leiter’s death in No Time To Die had a significant emotional impact because 007 had worked with him for years, whereas his Live and Let Die death would have been both too early and too tonally dark. Live and Let Die’s source novel may not have been as goofy as its movie adaptation, but the James Bond adventure was still too light-hearted for Leiter’s death to fit in its storyline.
