The future of James Bond

Hardly surprising though. The Craig era gave new life to Bond which reached its absolute nadir. But it basically magpied Borne.

This time they were probably all at sea.

In reality Bond has had its day. So I don't blame her for cashing in.

Those crappy Craig Bonds have already done the origin story. Don't remember which movie but it turns out Bond's motivation is mammy issues.

This franchise hasn't had a really good movie since Goldeneye. Although Tomorrow Never Dies has gotten better with age.

Greta as a sexy Bond girl would be good fun just to see some people lose their sht over it.

Bond needs to go to America to stop a former terrorist/insurrectionist who has just been elected President with the backing of a shady nut job with access to a space ship who plans to sell America out to the Russians.

You really need to consider your taste in movies if you think that Brosnan's Bond movies are better than Daniel Craig Bond movies.

I named 2 Brosnan movies and both are better "Bond" than anything Craig done. Goldeneye is a top notch Bond movie.

The Craig movies might be perfectly fine generic action movies but they are indistinguishable from the million others and not what I watch Bond for.

I also have no interest in watching Bond getting hung over from drinking too much Heineken because he is sad about his abandonment issues or is feeling washed up.

Obviously it's a matter of opinion.

Do you think I was trying to state my movie preferences as a peer reviewed scientific fact ?

Ya. Very good point. The Bond character portrayed by Moore and Brosnan was that of a sleazy, smug, indestructible agent. People growing up in that era seem to find it difficult to understand that in reality, he is just a human person, with a backstory, with emotions. That, just because Bond was portrayed like that for decades previously, that the movies should continue in that vein. That whole sleazy Bond character was done to death. Couldn't just continue with him being an out and out womaniser, and basing the movies on gadgets. Those themes had run their course. Casino Royale injected something into the franchise again, that made it actually exciting to hear that a new Bond movie was coming out. I don't think I went to the cinema to see any of the Brosnan films. I just didn't have any interest in watching the same formula over and over again.

I like your idea and would love Dalton coming back for a last Hurrah. Absolutely would watch.
On the other hand, we don't even need to go back at all. You want cold war? Bond villains destroying the US government from within? Who is Blofeld, is it Trump, Musk or are they just minions to Putin who is sitting in an underground lair stroking a cat?
I'm just not holding my breath that Bond fires off that one bullet to set off the famous Bond Style Exploding Concrete of their hideouts.
That's one problem right now. Nothing the Bond writers can come up with would be more bizarre, spectacular, unbelievable or bigger than anything that's happening right now.
So your idea of going back does make sense to a time where Bond didn't play out in real life.

Timothy Dalton is surely in his 80s at this stage. Might be the first Bond to break a hip.
