    This has been in my drafts for a few days:

    Introduce a new higher-up CIA character, a woman with strong presence like Jennifer Lopez/Scarlett Johansson. Bond has a quiet admiration for her, and vice versa, but she's witty and keeps Bond's masculinity in check. Maybe in a later film, in a moment between life and death - an earned kiss.

    Been there, done that. If fans are having trouble not repeating old Bond tropes, just imagine what Heyman and Pascal are dealing with.

    Why CIA at all? How about a Bond without an American connection?

    Oh sorry my man, it's just some sub-plot. Maybe they're sticking to tried and tested ideas.

    Good point. It does take you out of Bond's world.

    Agreed. Keep the American presence to a minimum. We pretty much only need Felix.

    I wonder how much of a say the next director will have in the casting of Bond #7?

    A decent amount I'm sure, but the studio etc. will want their input as per usual.

    But people often seemed to rarely take into account that Craig’s Bond would have been Moore, not Connery.

    What do you mean?

    Craigs age. When he’s a kid, Moore is Bond. That’s the one he’s seeing around him growing up.

    If I were Pascal & Heyman, I would immediately bring back the things EON haven't done for a while with Bond. Things like scuba action, Bond skiing, Bond doing actual spying, Bond using gadgets, albeit the gadgets shouldn't affect the story negatively....it didn't in some great Bond films. Also, bring back a deadly femme fatale/villain that keeps showing up...Fiona, Helga & Onatopp immediately springs to mind.

    Also, let the composer blast the Bond theme in all its full glory in the action scenes of Bond 7's complete era... because with Craig's Bond, EON only loved playing it fully over the end credits. It worked in CR, though. Only Hans Zimmer saw the need to play it during action scenes and even at that, it wasn't done fully. But still a great take on the Bond theme by Zimmer, that really suits Craig's Bond.

    I think to be fair, there were only a couple of times in his run where the theme might have worked as it's quite triumphant where his action scenes didn't quite play that way. Even so, it's a shame it didn't appear in those.
