They can even have him return as the same Bond that defected when he learned that the "good" guys are the bad guys. Then they can do the classic dropping of the curtain and new Bond questions everything he knows because everything old Bond is saying holds water.
Clearly this is the correct suggestion.
Could even tie it in with the story.
"Former 007 agent unhappy with the way the world goes, changes sides and becomes supervillain.
He knows everything 007 knows, because he's been one!"
Golden eye was good, but the last one...wtf was going on with the ice and all the colors and so on. Kinda reminds me of Batman and Robin with Mr, freeze.
Goldeneye was the last classic bond movie, with the classic gadgets and classic Soviet villains and storyline. I could picture Connery in Goldeneye and it would work. It was so great.
I feel like they were dipping their toes in this with Nomi in No Time To Die, then all the feedback instead was Ana De Armas needs her own Bond spin-off.
Man you take GoldenEye out of his repertoire and he might be the worst Bond. Do people not remember this most of his movies were bad. Hell I like the world is not enough more than most people did and most people hated it.
Im a big fan of his anti-Bond role in the Matador. There he plays the least suave non-governement assasin that never finds love. And I love that role...
