I guess it just wasn’t in the cards at the time of Pierce Brosnan’s first Bond movie, GoldenEye, but in some alternate universe, Trevelyan’s Janus Syndicate would’ve played perfectly as a S.P.E.C.T.R.E.-like organization pitted against Bond over multiple movies. It’d be a compelling backdrop since Trevelyan is a distorted reflection of Bond and a former 00 who knows the system, the tradecraft, and the man himself. Sean Bean would’ve thrived, and I for one would’ve loved to see his character gain even more power.
