  I wish they would make any decision just to show some momentum going forward.

  I wouldn’t go that far. I'd rather wait six months than learn that Bond26 is written by George Lucas and the director is Uwe Boll.

  Some of my hopes and wishes for future Bond movies:

  • More diverse locations and use the local culture more. Give Italy and Turkie a break.
  • Skiing, diving, snowmobiles and raids (not in the same scene ...... probably 😁)
  • Miss Moneypenny as the leader of 00-section. A clearer division between the 00-section and the rest of MI6.
  • More non-technological gadgets.
  • James Bond saving the world from time to time.
  • Fun and adventure!
  • More focus on spectacular stunts.
  • Less focus on personal drama and the past.
  • No direct story link between movies.
  • No more than one "this time it's personal!" plots per Bond actor.
  • No more than one Bond going rogue movie per actor.
  • Obviously Bond is a tall, handsome heterosexual British male.
  • Bond is an experienced 00-agent from the start, but his background in the navy can be referenced and used.
  • New timeline. No actors from previous Bonds and only subtle references to past Bond movies.
  • More spycraft.
  • Take a break from French Bond girls. India, all of Africa, Indochina, southeast Asia, the Middle East. There is a world of opportunity out there.
  • In- camera action scenes and stunts. CGI can help the scenes, but never be the scene.
  • Bond showing off how much he knows (especially to his boss).
  • Bond having a luxurious lifestyle. Food clothes, hotels, cars etc.
  • Gunbarrel in the right place.

  I would agree with pretty much all of that. Although I'm not a fan of Moneypenny becoming head of 00 section, or promoted to M.

  Also, I think I'm scarred for life from the Parahawks in TWINE to relish a return to snowmobile types. Having said that the snowmobile chase in JG's Icebreaker worked.

  Bond most definitely needs to dive and ski again! The former could have featured most recently when accessing Safin's base, instead of the disappointing Q Glider approach. I guess he literally had No Time To Dive (sorry..)

  I would be against making Moneypenny M.

  On snowmobiles: The Parahawk sequence in TWINE didn't really work for me. But that doesn't mean snowmobile chases and stunts couldn't work very well in the future! it would also break new ground. Die Hard 2 and DAD had a litte bit of snowmobile action, but I found those scenes unimpressive too. The Bond movies has the opportunity to be leaders in stunts again! Look at this for a taste of what can be done:

  Like a HALO jump?

  Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
