Different leads would also put a stop to tedious handwringing over who should play Bond, whether they have the right colour hair, whether they are the right gender, or the right ethnicity. So boring. MI6 wouldn't get very far with just 6ft white men...

We know Bond isn't the only OO. Nothing to stop a film being set round one or more of the others.
The only constant has been the pre-#metoo womanising, the drinking and the gadgets.
Time to really modernise (they tried a bit) and mix things up.
There's been some good stuff like The Boys, Fallout and S2 of Rings of Power, plus I'm sure plenty of others I've not seen (Man In The High Castle etc).
Even Disney managed to do Andor!
"decades of fairly rigid quality control"?? Come on, they had an *invisible car* ffs. And then of the more recent films, the quality has been patchy at best.
