Part of this plan involved bringing back some elements from previous Bond films that appealed to fan nostalgia — including the Aston Martin DB5 and the return of Q Branch's Bond gadgets.
Alongside the ejector seat-equipped car, Skyfall reintroduced the character of Moneypenny, who arrived to support the new M Ralph Fiennes. In short, Dench was cut as part of an effort to revitalize the series. Screenwriter John Logan revealed as much in a Skyfall 'behind-the-scenes' featurette, saying the film "was always going to lead to M's death.

Speaking to Deadline's The Actor's Side , Judi Dench had quite a bit to say about her years as an actress and about her Bond gig, which also included voice work for various video games.
She also noted that she thinks it was definitely time to give up the role, mentioning she feels MI-6 "would've given her the push" by now. However, Judi Dench's M is still one of the most well-known and beloved characters in the James Bond universe, so she certainly left on a high note, even if her character was spoiler alert killed off in the franchise rather than like, retiring off into the sunset or whatever.
