It's very simple. The next film should be about four Bonds: a cyborg one, a bloke in a suit of armour with a big hammer, a teenage one who's cloned from the DNA of Bond and Blofeld, and a fascist one that's secretly an artifact from Bond's homeworld.
Then the real one should come back with a mullet.

Bond becoming a period piece makes a lot of sense.
It happened to Sherlock Holmes. When Doyle was writing, he wasn't setting his character in the exotic gaslit past, but in his own present.
Bond is a creature of the Cold War and never should have been removed from his natural habitat.

This isn't remotely hard.
Either lean into the fan theory that "James Bond" is a cover that gets passed from agent to agent, or just start setting these back in the 1960s when a character like Bond made a little more sense.
There. Mail me my check.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel
