I love Ana de Armas, but the only way to do it is a completely new cast and entirely new mystery for each film.

What I would like is for the writers and creators behind a movie like this to put all their creative energy into a new idea vs. figuring out how to re-use any of the characters. Because even if they roll out a new mystery and only use Craig's character again, you know they will repeat much of the pattern and beats of the first movie and it will not feel all that fresh.
If they have the creativity to create an effective sequel, which is entirely possible, then I bet they could make an even better original movie.
But of course the sequel has a built in audience and guaranteed to be big $'s.
