I’ve been looking for a list of all James Bond movies in chronological order myself more than once in the past, so when I eventually found the information I figured I’ll make it a little easier for others to find as well by posting a chronological list here.
The first Bond movie, Dr. No, premiered on October 5th, 1962.
The release for the upcoming Bond movie, ‘No time to die’, was originally scheduled for March 31st, 2020, but then it got postponed a couple of times because of the coronavirus/COVID-19, and is now set to September 28th 2021.

And no less than 12 actors have portrayed James Bond in the media. In chronological order: Barry Nelson, Bob Holness, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, David Niven, George Lazenby, Christopher Cazenove, Timothy Dalton, Michael Jayston, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig & Toby Stephens. [main source]
(Did you get to 12 when you counted them in your head? I didn’t… 😎 )
At least you mention Barry Nelson, but you don’t put the year he was ‘James Bond,’ being the very first actor to portray the character should be significant. He played JB in 1954’s “Casino Royale.”
Also, who is Bob Holness, and when did he play JB..?!
