Who would you like to see return in a Bond movie?

In Casino Royale, we saw 2 women have a small role in Casino Royale (2006) who were in a past James Bond movie.
Who would you like to see return to make a surprise appearance in Bond 23, the 50th Anniversary movie.

I'd love to see Dame Diana Rigg pop in!

I want to see the return of Major Boothroyd and the Q Branch for Bond 23 ive missed all the silliness and antics from the previous films where Q has been involved.

Couldn't disagree more....Desmond WAS Major Boothroyd and can't be replaced...plus I really don't want to see a return to the silliness whilst DC is in the role of Bond....it just wouldn't work...

While the silliness could be taken away without too many issues to be honest (because lets face it im 19 so that = Brosnan era to be raised on) I would like to see Q again, for a lot of people its quite a big part of a bond movie, reinforces the whole gadgetry side of bond, Q could still easily be implemented in newer DC films, people will just have to get used to the fact Desmond isnt around any more

Since it will be the fiftieth anniversary film, maybe a cameo from Ursula Andress would be nice. Nothing elaborate, mind; just a quick wink, like the Richard Branson cameo from CR. . .

Ah right...I thought it was the silliness you particularly missed....I'm not a massive fan of all the outrageous gagetry either....some is fine...as long as it's not too far out there....I'd rather see the return of the Armourer -{

Interesting, I didn't know he had done voiceovers! Where does he make these audio appearances?

Personally, I think bringing back past actors works if they have something new to add to the story. For example the idea of Q and MPenny reappearing is a plus point to me - as long as it is done correctly, and in a new way - respectfully leaving the franchise history to stand for itself. I agree with M - Mr Llewellyn WAS Q. To try emulate or repeat that would be a disservice to his memory. However, there are ways of doing similar things in a different way. Lois Maxwell was lovely as the original Moneypenny, but I also loved Samantha Bond take on the character for the Brosnan era. - I always smile when I see her appear in something else, like Downton Abbey at the mo. I also feel that Dame Judi is great as M, and that takes nothing away from everything that Bernard Lee did as Flemming's definative Admiral.

As for other past characters, Blofeld, Jaws, Goldfinger, Scaramanga, Drax - they have their place in Bond history. 007 needs some new enemies to join them as memorable characters, not rehash what has gone before.

I think his audio spots are,,

In LTK, in the pre title sequence, It's his voice as the DEA Agent.

In AVTAK, as Bond and Stacy get into the elevator at city hall His voice can be heard over the loudspeaker system.

They say EON Producer Barbara Broccoli did a cameo appearance in one of the Bond movies. I think she was a guard. I read it somewhere only once, but have never been able to find it again. Anyone else know if this is true and do you know the movie? :x

I'll take a stab at it, I really don't know But I have seen some photos of her In a russian uniform on the set of TLD so she might of been in a scene from that. During the car chase across the frozen lake and jump.

Thank you for answering my question. I kept thinking it was Goldfinger for some reason. Okay, I have The Living Daylights written on an index card, so I won't forget.

In your honor, I would like to see the return of Gloria Hendry, Grace Jones and Halle Berry as Bond's love interests.

I would like to see a cameo of a boatload of ex bond girls all confronting Bond at the same time. Now that could be some interesting fireworks. There have been A LOT of " OOOH James " through the year.

SilentSpy

I would like to see a return of The Bond Girl. Not every female character has to be Bond's equal or some kind of professional in her field.

Thunderpussy

I'd like to see a return Not so much of a Character, But rather a Character type, A Rosa Klebb or Irma Bunt Female sidekick. Kind of ( This is going to be un-pc ) an Ugly, Physchotic, Nasty Bitch. Who Enjoys Torture and inflicting Pain ( I know someone will say You normally have to pay a lot of money to get treated like that, ) ).
It's been a long Time since we had her type in a Bond, mabey team her up with a Big Physcial henchman type as a Kind of unhinged/Physchotic "Princess Fiona and Shrek " of the Criminal Underworld.
Just think of the Market in Collectables. )

The issue here is in the fact that Casino Royale was a reboot and DC's Bond would have none of the background associated with the characters from Bond's past as depicted in the previous movies. Even a quip like the comment about the watch Q gives bond being his 20th would not be in context.
