But Bond would fall into that list.Relevant is different than iconic and well known. Jaws, for example, is not necessarily "relevant" but if you mention the name Jaws nearly everybody knows what it is- a big bad shark.
Same for Terminators- Everyone imagines a killer robot or Arnold.
If you say the name Jason Bourne to people, it will be recognized way less than something like Terminator, Jaws, Kong etc would be.
I could see Universal developing the space FOR Bond. If they can't get it, Bourne works. With the talk of this closure being a response to D23, Universal may have been waiting to ensure they got Bond before pulling a trigger but their hand was forced.
