Skyfall (2012)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Sam Mendes
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris
M (Judi Dench) dies of a wound sustained during a confrontation against Silva's (Javier Bardem) troops at Bond's (Daniel Craig) childhood home and family estate in Scotland. Bond kills Silva. The agent (Naomie Harris) who accidentally shot Bond at the beginning of the movie reveals her name: Eve Moneypenny (who in the pre-rebooted Bond films was M's secretary at MI6). She decides to quit being a field agent and start working at a desk job. Bond continues working as a field agent and Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) becomes M's replacement.
