Things are underway with a nice start.

Pandemic moviegoing is finally starting to look like pre-pandemic moviegoing. Sony Pictures' Marvel sequel “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” blew away expectations to debut with $90.1 million in ticket sales, making it easily the best opening of the pandemic, according to studio estimates Sunday.
By the way, the same article says I'm doomed since I didn't pick James Bond.
The result — along with robust international sales for the James Bond film “No Time to Die” — constituted the best news for movie theaters in more than 18 months.

I don't hate Bond movies, but I'm less a fan of the Daniel Craig ones. Not because of him, but because the plots are way too in depth. Of course I grew up watching them when silliness prevailed, with underground volcano lairs, hijacked space shuttles, plans to steal all the gold from Fort Knox, and flying blimps from which the bad guy will watch the destruction of Silicon Valley.
I watched Casino Royale, made it part way through Quantum of Solace, and haven't seen anything after. I'm sure they're good, I just haven't had the time to devote my brain to figuring out what the hell is going on.

Jason, perhaps you've touched on this before, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the possibility of a "non-traditional" Bond, like a person of color or a woman. That would be a potential way to goose my own interest in the series. I haven't watched one that I didn't think was a bloated mess in about 20 years, and as of now, I'm very much in CB&B's camp of basically "wtf is going on here?"
I think the producers have said it will not be a woman, though I will tell you that Ana De Armas kicks so much butt in the new film that it is almost criminal that she not get her own franchise.
I think whoever they pick is far less important than the storytelling. Charisma can only get you so far if your story sucks (and Quantum of Solace sucked and Spectre was not much better).

I think it's a great idea, but I think the it needs to be slow rolled. The typical bond fan might be more resistant to your idea than the average movie goer given the history of the Bond franchise. At some point the series should have spun off characters instead of recasting James Bond and just made it the "Double Oh" franchise where it's British operatives that each have a license to kill. Then we could have team ups and crossovers and all sorts of things.
I really think someone like the late Chadwick Boseman would have been an ideal Bond lead. I'm sure there are plenty of non-traditional Bonds that could Bond as good as any Bond has Bonded.
