Bond 25: 13 Things We Want To See

6. Make It A Pure Sequel To Spectre And Nothing More

Sequels are something of a mixed bag when it comes to the Bond series: just look at how disappointing Quantum Of Solace was when it tried to follow on from the events of Casino Royale. Spectre meanwhile made a grand effort to tie itself into the mythology of Craig's movies, with the reveal that Blofeld has been behind everything all along, going back to Craig's first outing. Sadly it's not really developed or revealed in a clever way at all and ultimately just feels quite generic and predictable. As such, hopefully the next film will push most of the movies' previous events and villains (and Vesper, too) to the background while just focusing on Bond vs. Blofeld. It's fine to make the film a sequel to Spectre, and perhaps with Bond's latest not being nearly as strong as Casino Royale, it would be easier for the next one to actually out-do it.
