Bond 24 Wishlist: 10 Things That Must Happen

8. Felix Leiter

One of the more prolific supporting characters throughout Bond's tenure is CIA operative Felix Leiter, who has been played by over half a dozen actors over the years, most recently by the excellent Jeffrey Wright in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Though he had significant roles in both of those movies, Leiter was nowhere to be seen in Skyfall, and while the movie didn't exactly suffer from his absence, he's an extremely likeable character who we hope hasn't just disappeared out of Craig's Bond films for the remainder. There's no point forcing a plot point to throw Leiter back into the mix, but to see Wright and Craig interacting on screen again, if even only for one scene, would be great fun to watch. If Logan and co. decide to give Felix a meatier role, maybe even with some gunplay (though hopefully not being killed off), then all the better. We won't hold our breath, though if Wright is reprising his role, we'll probably hear about it in the next 3 or 4 months. Cross your fingers!
