I love both concepts. Introducing other 00s would allow for even more exploration of themes and it could be a kind of test to see if they could spin off other characters as you said.

Remakes of older, flawed Bonds could work really well too. This could attract some left field but accomplished directors to bring a really unique approach to Bond.

I think it would be super fun to have Benicio Del Toro play the Sanchez role in a License to Kill remake. Sort of a nod to the original where he plays Dario, Sanchez’s young protege. Clean up all the weird plot threads like the ninjas that were inexplicably added in and write the female characters better/more consistently. I think it would be really fun and the movie already lends itself already to a more modern style after how the Craig movies made it OK for Bond to be more gritty. And go all out and get Beyoncé or someone to remake the theme song.
