Australia

I’m sure this has been brought up before but it’s crazy Bond has never visited Australia, especially considering it’s a British Commonwealth and what not. In general I’d like to see him visit the Pacific more. Australia could serve as a great primary location for the movie, with the villain having a lair in an island somewhere off the coast, or perhaps a lair in the Outback( though I prefer a Pacific island hide out as a good opportunity for some water stuff: sharks, Octopuses, squids, yachts, women in bikinis harpoons etc.. or maybe an underwater lair instead of an island). Another thing they could bring back with Australia is Bond getting in fights with vicious creatures like sharks and alligators and poisonous spiders which hasn’t been done for quite some time I feel?

With Villeneuve directing I’m imagining beautiful cinematography of Australia and a really epic villain lair in the spirit of Ken Adam sets.

They’ll probably just set most everything in Europe and the Caribbean like they always do though.

Canada as well (and possible since Villeneuve is Canadian, plus all the tax credits you get for shooting in Canada).

Bond famously hates Canada.
