    I will say a Fleming title might get me more excited about an actor I am lukewarm about like if Aaron Taylor Johnson is bond number 7 if he had death kills tomorrow today as the title meh but if his first film is The Hildebrand Rarity that could get me more excited for him

    I don't think THR has that blockbuster ring to it. Risico is the best of the remaining story titles IMO.

    I would like to see the word "Spy" used more. "Death", "Kill" have been overused in my opinion and it would be great to have something echoing Bond's profession ("Once Upon A Spy" still being a favourite of mine).

    Yeah. "Once Upon A Spy" is a good one. Peter Morgan's early script treatment for Skyfall, I think.

    There is that quote, "the life of spies is to know, not to be known." The Life of Spies?

    I like it. It has a kind of 1960s The Man From UNCLE film vibe to it.

    The Breathless Beat of Angels' Wings.

    Took it from some dialogue in a Columbo episode (The Conspirators).

    For King and Country would be a fun new name for a remake of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. But probably too soon to do a Tracy storyline or people will think they’re just redoing Vesper

    I don’t love that one, but I have wondered why the comics haven’t seemed to try to come up with vaguely Bond-ish titles; as this thread shows, I don’t think it’s impossible. This one works at least.

    Yeah, there’s something to that one. 👍

    Out of curiosity, why do people like this one so much? It sounds like a fairy tale title and it is soooooo cliched. The "Once Upon A X" formula and its variants like "Twice Upon a X" have been used so many times I'm annoyed every time it is used again. It's a bit like "Rise of X" or "The Good X" (The Good Doctor, The Good Place, The Good Dinosaur, The Good Nurse), it's such an uninspired formula because of how overused it has become.
