It already happened. The last James Bond character already clashed sharply with the seducer kung-fu fighter with cartoonish action moves and a gun expertise resembling Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun that were the original three. The James Bond figure constantly evolve to adapt to its audience and to the competitors (i’m looking at you, Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer).

This. Actually could be a good thing for the franchise, especially if the action is ruthless and needlessly brutal. Would make Bond a borderline psychopath with real unresolved issues.
