James Bond Films

At the end credits, do they say 'James Bond Will Return' or 'Bond Will Return In'?

Up until A View To A Kill (I'm fairly certain) the credit read James Bond Will Return In..and then the name of the film which followed.
In a couple of cases the title is wrong because they planned to make one film but circumstances changed their plans.For instance,after Goldfinger they had planned to make On Her Majesty's Secret Service and then Thunderball became available to them.
The Living Daylights was the last film to carry a Fleming title (until Casino Royale) and then it was changed to James Bond Will Return.

Having a statement like that dates back the the Saturday morning serials from the 30's onwards. As they were only five minute segments they usually had an anouncement in text about the next chapter.

Some movie franchises did this for years but I think the Bond movies are the most well known and the most recent. Plus a bit of tradition is always thought of as lucky.

Recently, they've just had 'James Bond will Return', as these days they tend not to plan the next film until the preceding one has been released.
