Could Kincade return in Bond 24?
Listening to the dvd commenteries it's clear that the producers and Mendes loved working with Finney. So do you think it would be possible that they would write Kincade back into the plot of Bond 24?
While Finney brought a warm and avuncular presence to the latter half of SF, I really can't see how the character could return. The only reason we met him was because Bond took M to Skyfall now that his home has been destroyed there seems to be limited oppurtunity to reintroduce him without standing on SF's toes to much.
But how do we think they could bring back Kincade? Maybe he is living with Bond in London now? Maybe Bond retires at some point in the next film and goes up to live in Scotland with Kincade? Could Finney potentially become the Alfred/Michael Caine character in Mendes's Bond films? It's a nice idea but I can't really see it working in practise, but if Mendes and Logan have a good idea as to how to bring him back I'd be excited to see Finney in a Bond film again.
Personally, I'd like to see Clair Dowar back. She looks like she could be a real thorn in the side of Bond and Mallory moving forward, though having said that it does seem that McCrory's appearance was meant to be a one-off for the enquiry scene.

Kincade,definately NOT....he has served his purpose and was a good addition to SF,but that is where he should remain imo.
I don´t mean to sound cruel, but a funeral scene could easily work.
What would be the point of that? It's not as though he was an established character. He's only in the film for, what, 20 minutes?
I really liked him, but his character is a one/off, or at least only efficient as semi-occuring (at best), like May in the novels or Mrs Hudson in Sherlock Holmes.
As one of my Italian friends sometimes said: Paganini doesn't repeat. It would be very redundant to see him for Bond 24.
Of course he does, otherwise he'd just be Pagani.
Bond mourning Kincade, baddies invading the funeral. Or Bond happens upon some trace while on the graveyard.
If there would have been any plans to do more with Kincade´s character in future films, he would have been introduced differently.
Although the same could probably be said about Jaws...
Well, not when he is playing violin.
This is the wrong way to sell the idea, but I don't absolutely despise the initial thought. They don't need another character who's front and centre - Alfred is usually a very necessary lynchpin in the narrative - but if Finney was up for it, I'd happily take him in a cameo playing Bond's housekeeper.
I'd rather see May, but in a semi-regular role only.
The end of SF seems to suggest that by the time Bond goes to Mallory's office at least a few weeks have passed (possibly a month or two); M's will has been read, a new head of Mi6 has been appointed and a new HQ has been found. I'm glad Mendes avoided doing a funeral scene at the end, it would have been too obvious.
I really like Albert Finney and would love to see him return but the problem is that I can't see how Kincade could return to the story. I think any attempt to re-introduce him would feel too contrived after all Bond was able to avoid him for the best part of 30 years so it would be strange for him to suddenly be such a fixture to his life. The conceit of the Bond character is that he is a loner, unlike Bruce Wayne who has a whole surrogate-family unit around him. Having said that, if a legitimately good idea was on the table to bring Kincade back then I'd fully endorse his return.
Maybe something could happen to Bond which would force him to retire or quit Mi6 and he goes to live in Scotland with Kincade before Mi6 come hunting him down and bring him back into duty? Kincade could then provide some fatherly advice to a morose 007 to return or possibly tell him to avoid his old lifestyle and stay under the radar? But if Bond was to retire from Mi6 I'd doubt he would go to Scotland.
Don't give anyone any idea. After the "Mallory is a traitor/really Blofeld" theory I have read here, I expect someone to come up with a ridiculous theory like this. Or believe it if someone brings it up as a joke.
That would explain why he sold the guns and hid in the church.
Loved the character, but he did his job in SF.
No, Mallory is Voldemort. Get your facts straight, laddie. ;)
That's Sexy Voldemort to you. =))
I know, but we cannot say that name.
But one loose end from Skyfall was the guy who got shot for viewing a painting before trying to bed Severine. I think that whole painting issue will come to light among other loose ends. This is a good topic of discussion. I'd like to see a Quantum shocker without simply passing Quantum off as having its name changed to Spectre.
