Oh, this is a glorious idea!

I have always held out hope for a Bond Reunion movie, where the idea that James Bond is as much of an assigned title as 007. So you start with a new Bond being shown the ropes by his soon to be retired predecessor - except that someone is killing off all the past Bonds! So mentor and mentee have to travel the world to track down the assassin and save the remaining Bonds. Along the way, you see what has become of the Bonds of yesteryear. Connery lives a simple life in a simple town (that also happens to be populated exclusively by ex-spies and soldiers), Moore has replaced Octopussy as the head of a floating pleasure palace, Dalton is a grizzled and bitter red herring who is missing limbs thanks to his service, Brosnan is a minister in the agency and is being groomed to be the next M, and Craig is about to be drummed out of the service and obviously objects to being made to train his own replacement.
The villain, of course, is Lazenby, out to fulfill the promise he made to himself when his wife was murdered in front of him. After climbing out of his depression, he’s spent years assembling his plan for vengeance, eventually usurping command of SMERSH following the fall of the Iron Curtain.
God, that would make an amazing movie or fic.
