I thought they might pick up the pace a bit after the 6 year gap between Spectre and No Time to Die but it sounds like the next installment is still a while off and unlikely to be in cinemas before 2025.

Producer Barbara Broccoli on who the next James Bond will be:
"Nobody's in the running. We're working out where to go with him, we're talking that through."

Plans for the next movie:
"There isn't a script and we can't come up with one until we decide how we're going to approach the next film because, really, it's a reinvention of Bond. We're reinventing who he is and that takes time. I'd say that filming is at least two years away."

Mission Impossible has pretty much replaced Bond for in the the recent years, Bond isn't as exciting anymore like it was when I was 10.

That time frame will take a few of the current fan favourites out of the running. Idris Elba will be 53 at that point, Tom Hardy 48.

Make the next movie a spy battle royale about who gets to be the next Bond. All the Bond hopefuls can be in it. Fight to the death.

2025 is wildly optimistic if they don't have an actor or script or director yet. Once those 3 things get nailed down its probably 2-3 MORE years.

I 100% maintain they should reboot Bond into the 1960s, far more fun and interesting time for spy shit and you don't have to deal with all the modern issues that make spy movies untenable. Phones and cameras everywhere alone are hard things to write around.

they'll run with that fan theory that bond is a fake spy to convince the enemies that they should worry about him but there's actual spies doing the work while they're not aware

Incoming trash paper headlines "Planning woke Bond" 😂

I think the formula is honestly quite boring so any change would be good to see.

They haven't been realistic prospects for years, if ever - they were just tabloid faves but far too famous now to be cast as 007.

I highly doubt they will make it a period film if only because they're a harder sell at the box office and they want those billion dollar grosses you tend to only get from modern-set films.

Bond movies have pretty quick production schedules. They often start filming a year or less before release. And last time they rebooted, Craig and Martin Campbell were each hired within 1 to 1.5 years before Casino Royale was out.

Totally feasible they could have work on a script start next year, hire a director and cast in 2024, then film it for a 2025 release.

I'm already gonna throw out my choice for new Bond and it's Abubakar Salim. Since finishing Raised by Wolves, I just want to see more of him. I feel like he's a fantastic up-and-coming actor.

Obviously the best thing to do after Craig's eta having a definitive start and end to the character.

Also means the actor is likely in their early 30s right now. No way they will reboot Bond and not casts young.

Hope bond stays a womanizer tbh. There's a way to keep that element of the character going and still giving the female characters more depth along the way

And location shooting too, these movies are really expensive but they're also one of the few franchises that still takes the viewers to all these locales. It's great.

No more old man plotlines. They need to cast some brit who's ideally going to be 21-25 in 2025 since he'll be in the role for ~10 years or more.

The Bond franchise's typical M.O. is to chase after whatever cinematic trend is popular at the moment. Been doing that since pretty much the beginning. So if everyone wants to know what this "reinvention" is going to look like, well, look around at the current cinema landscape, make some guesses, and you'll probably be right.

In terms of casting the new Bond, I think it's probably Regé-Jean Page's to lose.

I don't think it will literally be Harry Styles, but I would guess a Harry Styles vibe.


...eh, who knows, maybe it will be Harry Styles

Take Tom Cruise and his version of Austin Powers from the Goldmember intro but make it into a real Bond movie with everyone playing it serious except him.

Make him a spy again man, not an action hero.

I could totally go for some Cold War or 60s Bond, but I don't want it camp, I want it tense and maybe a little noir.

I made a post about this a while back, but I still think they should go the full anthology route with Bond and keep it open for different creatives to come in with widely different takes, all under the 007 banner. Basically anything goes between tv shows, films, animated content etc. With different tones, time periods, settings as well.

Edgar Wright with a campy 60s throwback.
Nolan doing a more grounded modern version.
A Damon Lindelof mystery/spy TV series (Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy meets The Leftovers).
A Greta Gertwig deconstruction of the character.

Open the door to any gender, race or age portrayal of the character. Whatever suits the story they are telling.
