It seems like only yesterday that we last said farewell to Mr. Bond. But almost as soon as No Time to Die hit theaters, closing the Daniel Craig era of the 007 franchise, fans were ready to start speculating about the future. Now that Craig is done, who's going to replace him as MI6's most elite secret agent? And how will this new James Bond be different from what we've seen before?
Well, we haven't any answers to either of those questions yet. As far as we know, Bond's still dead, blown to smithereens, and we don't know how producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are planning to bring him back from the dead. But the end credits of No Time to Die confirmed "James Bond will return." We're going to guess it'll be in the form of another reboot like 2006's Casino Royale.
Everyone has their favorite dream casting choice for who should take on the 007 role next, whether it's Regé-Jean Page, Henry Cavill, Robert Pattinson, Paapa Essiedu, Tom Holland, or a returning Lashana Lynch, who's owned the three-digit designation in one film already. But whoever it is, we likely won't get a casting announcement any time soon. In fact, according to Broccoli, Eon hasn't even started casting the next James Bond, and doesn't plan to roll cameras on the new movie for a few years.
"Nobody's in the running," Broccoli revealed to Deadline. "We're working out where to go with him, we're talking that through. 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."
