    I would prefer to face iconic villains rather than new ones, just as I would prefer to select my avatar from among the previous James Bonds.

    However I can understand that where a game is released over many iterations, new villains will eventually need to be created.

    I would prefer a mix of the old and new Bond villains. However, SPECTRE could be built up to over a game or two.

    With the announcement of First Light and the teaser last week it seems the focus is all on the game. We saw snippets and it looks like it will be a banger.

    We saw a new M, a Moneypenny that seems styled after Naomi, a Q that looks like a new take. We got a new character called Greenway in the Mi6 team. The villain was hinted at being a former 00 agent. We see an Aston Martin but not in the normal silver grey of the DB-5. Some say the chess player was wearing a SPECTRE ring. Not confirmed.

    All that to say...

    Would you rather returning villains OR a new villains to battle our Bond?

    I was reminded that Jaws popped up in Everything or Nothing. We had the villains of Connery and Moore films pop up and return in Legends and GE Rogue Agent. FRWL videogame had Octopus instead of SPECTRE due to the rights issue.

    Jaws in EON worked well. Octopus worked well in FRWL, the only drawback was not having a clear leader (arguably at that time). Also, it was arguably in SP that they were behind the events of Bloodstone. 007 Legends fumbled in not giving their villains time to be honored in their legacies. Goldeneye Rogue Agent did it’s use of villains right, despite other flaws. So in conclusion, I could go either way on Bond villains returning. I’d like to see them come back, but it all depends on the storyline that they are used in.

    I'm expecting all new villains for this game and prefer that. World building some new iconic enemies would be a welcome addition.

    Rather they did something new and not rehash everything.

    Also, they need to redo Bond's look, or allow another image (perhaps the skin of Brosnan etc) to be used.

    Gibson just looks a bit smug.

    New Bond, new villain. And I'd highly appreciate if it wasn't someone from MI6 itself for a change.
    Also don't like the details of the climbing accident. They could've done without. Bond shouldn't be explained away.

    Good stuff!

    Lets jump to the Ian Fleming Publications. They have been very active developing different books about different characters in the James Bond universe. We have Miss Moneypenny diaries, Q dealing with murder mysteries, the rest of the double 0 section, Felix Leiter standalone adventure, and James Bond training youth to become agents.

    EON really never showed interest in these spin-off books, never mind the continuation authors. One wonders if Amazon is taking notice and may be more open to developing new shows or movies.

    Would you rather Amazon bring some from these spin-offs to screens OR Amazon continue like EON?

    If you are on the Amazon development side for spin-offs feel free to share what you would like to see developed.

    Continue like EON. I have no interest in spin-offs.

    I would agree that for now, I have no real interest in spinoffs.

    If Amazon decides to do some content outside of the ongoing series of films, that content should not be connected to the film series. We don't need a "James Bond universe" of intertwining short-run series and films. I'd rather that extra content be clearly distinguished from the main series. That extra content would be, for me anyway, the place to go for period piece Bond. For instance, period piece adaptations of some of the short stories or exploring some of the other corners or characters from Fleming's works.
