Bond Movie Characters You Wanted To Return

    Kinnear is the favourite to become the new Doctor Who so he must have some charisma.

    Well two films in and I've yet to see it. He's just the bloke who googles stuff for M.

    Michael Kitchen and Colin Salmon blow him out of the water in the same role.

    Don't get me wrong I completely agree and a month or so ago I was campaigning for Tanner to be recast.

    But after seeing he was the favourite at most bookies to become the next doctor who I did a bit of research on him and he's gotten a fair bit of praise outside of Bond, which makes me think that if the writers gave him better material then he could be a better Tanner.

    Salmon and Kitchen were better but to be fair they had better scripts (Tanner/Robinson wise). All the lines given to Kinnear are exposition. Kitchen was given a personality even though he had barely any screen time (I love the evil queen of numbers line).


    Off topic, but I find it funny that in 2009 Salmon was rumoured to be the next Doctor Who, and now Kinnear is the favourite.

    Easily Tiger Tanaka for me. The great Tetsuro Tamba was excellent in the role, and Tanaka was a very fun character, even if he didn't get much screen time. I'd love to see him brought back, maybe played by Ken Watanabe? ;;)

    He's a legend even though the actor who played him is like 92 now they could bring someone into play him everytime Bond goes to the USA.

    Very bad idea. Do you really think such a character would fit in in the new Craig Era? Surely not!

    No he might be retired or something by then.

    Still a bad idea. He's in two Bond films. That's more than enough, in my book.

    Again, this isn't a thread about who from the past should be in the next movie, just who did you want to come back in some way or another.

    JW Pepper, on that note, should still not be on any list.

    Well, he wouldn't be on any remotely sensible person's list, that's for sure, regardless of the criteria.

    Felix Leiter

    Well, I suppose he already has in the form of Jeffrey Wright. I hope he's back for Bond 24 as he is quite good in the role.

    He should of been in in PB era and in SF because if he was they could have shown Bonds 'funeral' and had Felix Leiter reading about how good of a mate Bond was.

    Well, I agree he should have been in the PB era, though Jack Wade did a good job as a fill-in in GE in my book. No thoughts on a funeral as it was clear to the audience that Bond was not dead.

    We all know he wasn't dead so they should of shown his funeral with a load of rocks in it. And I read a book and it said in TND how the hell could Wade have been working for the CIA.

    Because he was so incompetent/indiscreet? No?

    It makes you wonder how he got into the US airbase.

    Well, he didn't come across as well in TND as he had in GE. His second appearance was more like Sheriff J.W. Pepper in TMWTGG - i.e. unnecessary and just plain bad.

    Wade was pretty pointless I thought. Should've just used Felix.

    Indeed. LALD was only the second novel after all, but his shark injuries seemed to preclude him from the films until the reboot made it possible in 2006.

    B. L. O. F. E. L. D. ! ! Why surpress one of the biggest Bond villains ever!? I mean come on, Mr Blofeld and his white cat added some fantastic suspense, horror and humour. In 'From Russia With Love', 'Thunderball', 'You Only Live Twice'. 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', 'Diamonds Are Forever' and 'For Your Eyes Only'. But in the seventies they just 'stopped' using Blofeld, because of legal issues. Otherwise Blofeld would have been back earlier. And why not revitalize Blofeld in the same way Christopher Nolan did with Batman's arch villain The Joker.

    It may have not been Blofeld in FYEO but I think it is.

    I'll have to go ahead and agree with those on the first page of the thread that cast their vote for Mr. White. There needs to be some form of resolution with that character.
