    I'd love to see Olga get another crack at being a Bond girl. Her character arc was left fairly open-ended in QoS.

    Why is this always a thing people are desperate to see?

    If Fleming never saw the need to do it that's good enough for me.

    I wouldn't like a Bond girl as a character return but there are some actressses who could get another role as a Bond girl just like Maude Adams
  • If the romantic arc Bond has with the girl feels complete at the end, then it should stay that way. That is the case 90% of the time.

    They were going to bring Bach back for AVTAK but opted out for Pola Ivanova so there is that.

    Much as I loathe LTK, I'd have quite liked to have seen Pam Bouvier return in another adventure. I rather liked her...

    I agree actually I wouldn't like any Bond girl to comeback in that same character. Im just open to the idea of an actress who was a Bond girl come back with a whole different character and story.

    Make that the Order of the Day as far as I'm concerned.

    Obviously it could be any Bond girl. Whether they died or not. Like Vesper.

    I know at one point there was a rumor that Vesper was still alive (which is stupid). For me i wish they didn't kill Jill or Solange. Wish I saw them in another film.

    I don't really like that idea of bringing back any Charakters from the 60s or 70s. Maybe that is also a reason why I am not a big Spectre fan. The producers really lack good ideas these days. They mostly recycle ideas from the past.

    You mean Spectre the movie or Spectre the organization?
    Because personally im not such a big fan of the Spectre organization. I prefer the villains with different motives every diferent film.

    I was interested of seing how would blofeld look like these days and how the whole organization would change but on the other hand i was like ughh herevthey come back again.
    I didn't mind it much in the 60s and liked they Villians the chose before Blofeld was revealed but in these days they will milk the whole Spectre thing for a long time and again Spectre is an impediment these days for standalone missions especially because Blofeld is still alive.

    I mean the film. For the 60s films I really like SPECTRE. But I prefered the unrevealed Blofeld. One of the franchise's strength has afterwards been to create strong villains with different plans and motivations. I also fear that they will now only focus on recycling the old ideas and milk the SPECTRE related characters to death.

    I hope they just kill Blofeld as soon as possible and we get back to different villains per film, but I don't think they will they didn't bring him back to kill him right away.
    I guess it's not that bad they brought him back just how soon they did, maybe they should just have stayed Franz Overhouser and let him be Bond 's foster brother and keep Blofeld as a mystery.

    It's weird. I loved Spectre the film and its the movie which made me see Craig in a much better light but hatted the effect it had on the franchise.
    It really forced the producers to make some direct sequels like if it was Batman or another reboot.

    I'll have to side with the opinion on not wanting a former Bond girl character a'la Jinx, Camille, Madeline to return in the least. In fact, I'd rather have Sheriff JW Pepper come back than that. However, I'd love to see Maria Grazia Cucinotta get larger role in a future Bond film, or Rachel Grant.
    Of Craig era, I might suggest Olga or Caterina in a future role, but with Moore and Maud there had been several films in between Golden Gun and OP. With the Craig era not so much. There I go again. Funny how I can take any topic and turn it into a rant on the lengthy gaps between Craig outings.

    One of the things I've always greatly admired about the Bond films is there decision to not recycle characters. Any other series would have noticed the popularity of certain actors or characters and would have incorporated them into future films ad nauseum (see the Marvel movies for a clear example of this).

    Bond films are guilty of relying the same old character tropes, but they always introduce new actors into the series.

    There was so much scope to bring back someone like Honey Ryder back in the 60's, but they never did. Ursula Andress became a bonafide Hollywood star for a while in the decade and it would have made commercial sense to bring her back. She was iconic in that role and part of me would have loved to see Honey again. I know that they considered the idea for LALD, but they didn't go down that route.

    But I'm glad they didn't, because we got to meet other interesting characters played by a host of international beauties. I imagine Cubby's desire to cast a new beautiful woman each time was partly the reason for this.

    The same principle applies to the villians (Jaws aside). It would have been the savvy business move to introduce Gert Frobe as Goldfinger's brother or to reanimate Oddjob, but they never did this.

    I kinda hope the tradition is maintained. Regardless of the interconnectivity of the Craig films, each of the four movies stands on its own terms. Each has its own distinct villain, plot and leading lady.

    However, it would be great if Madeline came back for Bond 25, just because I feel there is a still a story to be told there. Also the character was criminally under-explored, despite this Lea was a real brightspark in the film; bringing such vulnerability and pathos to SP. Even when she had awful cringe-worthy dialogue like "two Jameses...lucky me".

    Personally I am against Bond girls returning, though there are a few I wish had had more screen time. I would have liked to have seen more of Severine and Lucia.
  • Even when she had awful cringe-worthy dialogue like "two Jameses...lucky me".

    I thought that was one of the few legitimately funny moments of SP.

    I'd have liked Fiona Volpe to return. For some reason.

    I wouldn't like a Bond girl to return but I'd like some of them being mentioned in passing like Fleming did sometimes.

    Great idea! Just don't let Purvis and Wade & Co. see it! Wouldn't want them to get any ideas...
