Mr. Freeze, also there would be a good story where is experiments got destroyed during the Riddler’s flood turning him into the film’s villain
Probably some made-up fan title
Movies/TV shows that influenced Bond instalments
Live and Let Die- Blaxploitations
The Man With The Gokden Gun - Kung Fu Movies
The Spy Who Loved Me - Jaws
Moonraker - Star Wars
Octopussy- Indiana Jones
Licence to Kill- Scarface, Miami Vice
Goldeneye- The Jack Ryan series
Die Another Day- The Matrix
Casino Royale- Batman Begins
Quantum of Solace- The Bourne series
Spectre - Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Star Trek Into Darkness, MCU
No Time To Die- Logan
If Moore was still in it
-Get rid of the Beach Boys song
-An older actress for Stacey, like how Maud Adams was age appropriate for Moore in Octopussy
-Instead of Chuck Lee, maybe bring back David Hedison as Felix for a good book end that started with Live and Let Die
-While I liked Patrick McNee as Tibbett and felt that he and Moore worked well together, I'd rather maybe a younger British actor paired with Moore in that France sequence
-Make the stunt double less- obvious
-Take out the hot tub scene with that spy that led nowhere besides a awkward cameo from Gogol. If they were to keep it bring back Barbara Bach from Spy Who Loved Me. It would be a nice homage
-A better exit for Moore's Bond (not like having to kill him-off, maybe hinting at a sort of retirement angle)
Had a new actor, Timothy Dalton appeared
-Different actress for Stacey Sutton and be younger than Dalton
-No Beach boys song
-Younger Moneypenny (possibly Caroline Bliss, or the Miss Smallbone actress)
-No silly scenes
-Dalton and Walken would work well, both would come up with new scenes, both are great dramatic actors. This is how both Dalton and Robert Davi made Licence to Kill great. But both Dalton and Walken would have been great rivals on-screen. On a bonus, Dalton would be a great match against Grace Jones.
-The ending fight scene would be more equal between Walken and Dalton
-Zorin would have the same moments
-Again instead of Chuck Lee, Felix Leiter would appear (insert actor, John Terry, David Hedison, Powers Boothe, ect)
-Tibbett, instead of McNee, an actor close to Dalton's age (maybe Ian McShane)
-Stunts would be less obvious as Dalton would be performing them
-For the PTS, It would be Bond in Paris meeting the French contact who is killed by May Day ending with Bond being arrested.
-Instead of Horses, it would be replaced with a motorcycle Grand Prix sequence and Tibbet would have a more brutal death.
X-Man: First Class
Fast Five
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Jurassic World: Dominion (wasn't too bad imo)
The Spy Who Loved Me, along with Live and Let Die and For Your Eyes Only
Clive Owen’s name was thrown around but the actor was never tested for the role because apparently the producers were unable to provide gross profit points
If Daniela is his daughter then it will be interesting, maybe she wants revenge on Dom or she resented what her father did and joins Dom’s crew
Unlike Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Garry Shandling or Charlton Heston, Josh's career wasn't affected as he was still an up and comer, he only had lead and supporting roles in Here On Earth, The Virgin Suicides, Halloween H20 and The Faculty when the movie was filmed in '98-2000, and still managed to get roles in films and TV shows like "Black Hawk Down", 40 Days and 40 Nights, Sin City, Penny Dreadful,Wrath of Man and upcoming films like Operation Fortune and Oppenheimer in the years that followed. Beatty stopped acting for 15 years until he made "Rules Don't Apply" in 2016 which was better received but under performed financially. Goldie Hawn didn't do much work after and made lesser known projects, her comeback were the two Christmas Chronicle movies alongside her husband Kurt Russell (I wonder how he felt about her doing a movie with Warren Beatty, a man who she dated before), Daine Keaton did better movies like "Somethings Gotta Give" directed by Nancy Myers, who knows how to make Rom-Coms, alongside actors Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves . Garry Shandling managed to make appearances in two Marvel movies before his death with his last movie being 2016's "Jungle Book" movie which was welcomed with a postive response. Charlton Heston retired from acting in 2003 following three badly received movies in 2001 (Town and Country, 2001 Planet of the Apes and Cats & Dogs) and winning a Razzie award for them, he only did lesser known project before 2003. So we could say that some he had stopped acting all together and some like Keaton, Harnett and Shandling were still able to get work and be successful. Also Andie McDowell made a comeback with Netflix's Maid alongside her daughter. Jenna Elfman still worked away with her career, as she was one the few positives about this movie
I think Josh was one of the few likeable characters in this movies, being on the neutral side of the hijinks caused by Beatty and Shandling.
Stathams meant to be taking over from Stallone, so I guess Fiddy will be a co-lead. Hopefully Lundgren and Couture (and Megan Fox) will stick around. For future moves they should bring in Keanu Reeves, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Jai White, Georges St. Pierre, Mark Dacascos and Donnie Yen and hopefully bring back Antonio Banderas and Wesley Snipes. If Stallone leaves then no chance Arnold will come back
Taron Egerton recently stated that Liotta health was deteriorating while filming Black Bird. In his later years he was quite a beefy figure
I heard that the potential names over at EON as reported a month ago were:
-Idris Elba
-Henry Cavill
-Tom Hardy
-Jacob Elordi
Out these names, I while Hardy and Cavill are good choices, Hardy is pushing 45 and is an unlikely choice, Elba is almost 50 but would have been great 10-15 yrs ago and Elordi is too young.
Also according to a video by youTuber TheBondGeek, he states that EON are looking at Cavill as their choice while Amazon is looking at Aidan Turner, an actor who I could see in the role, he kinda looks like the Bond of the books, he isn't as well known though Poldark is quiet a popular show, he also did the Hobbit movies, and if you find a picture of him in a tux, he would remind you of one time Bond candidate James Mason

Other names I would consider for the next Bond are:
-Rege Jean Page
-Theo James
-Tom Bateman
-Richard Madden
-Sam Claflin
Brosnan could have been good in TLD, but Dalton being cast was for the better, also Licence to Kill was more tailor made for Dalton, even Cubby Broccoli had stated that The Living Daylights wouldn't have worked with Brosnan as he would have been too similar to Roger Moore and wouldn't have fit the tone, but at least Brosnan became Bond at the right time in '94
Would be a nice twist though
TMWTGG would have been Moore suited for Connery had been made during his time, Lazenby, (had he stayed and the dojo scene would suited him) or Dalton (had it been made in the 80s), maybe as part of the Craig saga had it gone in a different direction, but it’s too late. Personally I thing TMWTGG is the worst of Moore’s tenure, not AVTAK, I liked Moore as Bond, but this movie did not suit his style, but at least Christopher Lee was the best thing out of this movie. They didn’t need to bring back Sherrif JW Pepper back at all, LALD was enough and they should have just replaced him with David Hedison’s Felix
To me the best Bond villains are Goldfinger (Gert Frobe), Blofeld (Pleasance and Savalas), Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto), Scaramanga (Lee), Drax (Michael Lonsdale), Zorin (Christopher Walken), Sanchez (Robert Davi), Alec Trevalyn (Sean Bean), Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsson) and Silva (Javier Bardam). But Lee’s villain is kinda like you would envision Lee as James Bond, considering he was Fleming’s distant-cousin and served in World War II, I also heard that Lee was an inspiration for the Bond character
There's a good chance she could get iced, but she's was no where near the train sequence which is likely part of the finale so she could be injured or killed, idk
No negativity towards Roger Moore but yeah, he was too old, something he openly admitted, he could have retired after Octopussy, he could have stopped there allowing the producers to look at pontential actors for a younger Bond like Lewis Collins (Broccoli made a mistake dismissing him the first time around thinking he was too aggressive), Timothy Dalton, Sam Neill or Ian Ogilvy, IDK if Pierce Brosnan would be a potential candidate, he was still doing Remington Steele at the time. Had say Dalton had been in AVTAK as his debut, it would have been better but it would undergo several changes, it would be more serious, he would be doing the stunts, he would be well able to go toe-toe with likes of Christopher Walken and Grace Jones, in fact he and Walken would have been great movie rivals, Tibbett would have been a younger actor around Dalton’s age (say Ian McShane). AVTAK wasn’t the worst Bond, that honour goes to TMWTGG or DAD, but I felt that Rog should have stopped after Octopussy, his performance wasn’t bad but he was over the hill
Would love cameos from past movies like Snipes and Banderas since they were supposed to be in it, but I wouldn’t mind cameos from old school actors like Kurt Russell or Carl Weathers
Also the man who played Remington Steele eventually played James Bond and Lewis Collins was considered to play Bond in the early eighties
