As for the locations, the point isn't exactly "where" but "how".
What matters in 007 movies is how Bond visits the locations. Does he do it in a exclusive way? That is the question. Will he interact with people and places in a way that no travel agency could ever sell to their costumers?
For example, Bond has come to Italy, my country, a number of times, so why would I bother to see him in Siena or Lake Garda (QoS), Venice ( FRWL, Moonraker and CR), Lake Como (CR again), Cortina d'Ampezzo (FYEO), Sardinia (TSWLM), Rome (Spectre), Matera (NTDD), places that I know and love? Because in 007 films I see these places beautifully shot, as I've never seen them before, and because Bond goes to places (exclusive hotels, palaces and houses) that most of us, unfortunately, cannot afford, and also because once there he does things that no tourist could ever dream to do.
That's why I want to see Bond in Italy (and of course in other beautiful places around the world) again, and honestly I couldn't care less if he went to so-so places I've never been to. The best Bonds are crowded and with architectural masterpieces, when he's alone (or almost alone) in a desert or a suburban road, I always find myself wondering why I decided to watch that movie.
Amazon shows "Double or Nothing" as being released next April (2023!). Ouch, that's a long wait! And the pre-order price is sky high!
As to where to take Bond? The world is full of terrific locations. From the photography world, I'd say Iceland has some amazing landscape that you simply don't see anywhere else on Earth. However any great castle tucked away in Europe would be a great location too. The Mayan Ruins of Mexico / Central America certainly have potential too.
