The time of Daniel Craig’s 007 is coming to an end with the long-delayed, long-awaited release no time to die Last year, creator Barbara Broccoli was in talks with Deadline about the future of Ian Fleming’s iconic super spy, and it looks like we’ll have to wait a while before James Bond’s spectacular return.
“No one is in the running,” Broccoli was asked how far along we are in the process of recruiting the 007th James Bond. “We’re working out where to go with him. We’re talking it through. There’s no script, and we can’t come up with one until we’ve decided that we’re going to film the next film.” How’s going to watch, because really, it’s a new invention of Bond. We’re rediscovering who he is, and it takes time. I’d say filming is at least two years away.”
The next Bond film — the 26th in the official series — will not only feature a new 007, but it will also be the first produced under streaming giant Amazon, which acquired the rights to the franchise with its $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM.
