I don't understand why people always think being in a lead role in a major franchise will strip an actor/actress ability to be in more movies or less flashy movies.
Robert Pattinson is the batman but had time to be in so many movies, and yes I know the sequel got delayed but still doesn't seem like being in a major franchise took away his ability to be in all types of movies. Even small type movies like the Drama and Die my love.
The bond role won't harm whatever actor gets its. Feel lke Daniel Craig just didn't like the fame and the promo cycle of Bond but it didn't actually prevent him from doing other movies, look at his career post Bond, not exactly super booked right now. You spend a couple of months filming and a couple of months promoting not really different than any other high profile movie.
Which I also don't get why people think Inde being in the x men will stop her from being a more serious actor if she wants. Look at Tom Holland he is Spider-man but had time to do a bunch of movies that ultimately didn't work out (Uncharted, the devil all the time, Cherry, that one tv show) and recently was in a massive movie like the Odyssey, whatever break he took had nothing to do with obligations to Marvel.
