Unlikely. They just need to hire the best director available.
So Speilberg then. Funnily enough is making a Josh O'Connor film at the moment, to be released in 2026.
They need a director who they can collaborate with easily and can best execute their vision. That doesn't mean the best director. Hence the lack of Nolan doing a Bond film (if you consider him the best director around).
I see a lot of literality here. I mean, it's not that difficult. This isn't like going to the moon.
I'm sure they already have a list of possible directors. Maybe they just need to listen to their pitches.
I don't think Pascal and Heyman have the same creative involvement as Barbara and Michael.
I've read his interpretation dubbed "Jokerarty". Fitting. Circa 2015 Scott was hot property. I never thought he came off as very threatening in any villainous role he played. As Denbigh he's just annoying and Fiennes completely dominates him. I would rather have had a lesser known but more believable actor in the role. Sam Throughton had played an evil civil servant version of Edmond in King Lear a year before, directed by... Sam Mendes. I wished Mendes had cast him instead.
No, please not Spielberg. I always enjoy a new Spielberg film, yet never feel the need to watch any of his films again (except for Duel and Jaws). For me, there is something superficial about his work, which makes them forgettable
Yeah, I thought John Simm played a very similar role in Dr Who as the Master around the same time, and was so much better at mixing the humour and threat.
I've said it before and will say it again even though it wasn't my idea: put Helen McCrory in the C role and you've made the film ten times better instantly. Plus you've made it link to Skyfall and actually helped the idea that Blofeld was behind Silva seem a bit more plausible.
That's a good comparison. I feel everyone was trying way too hard to make Moriarty humorously menacing in that show (between Scott's performance and the writing anyway), and it crossed into hammy.

Hmmmmmm :-?
Omega have a number of actors who are ambassadors, don't they? Not sure I'd read too much into it.
Oh yes, that would have worked too, and beautifully. She was an amazing actress. She could easily give that vibe, authoritarian decision maker who does everything wrong, but has the full confidence of the government.
That was my idea, soon after I finished watching Peaky Blinders. We needed more McCrory, even in SF. She also would have been an excellent M successor. RIP.
She was amazing as Medea. I created an entire thread about her.
Ehh they can do October 2027 or even November 2027. With the exception of SF, I feel that recent Bond films taper off in the USA within 4 weeks
True. People are tired of Marvel films.
I think these delays are helpful to a much needed break between films. It just shouldn't be in the order they're doing it, the break should come after the big finale, not right before it. Oh well. There's definitely fatigue and they need to do something. I'm sure it will make a billion, but maybe not 2 billion again. There will be what, two years, of streaming time for people to watch Thunderbolts, Cap4, and FF, so maybe hype will slowly rebuild. Of course, we could be looking at a disaster in the making not seen since, what, Cleopatra?
To be fair people claim that, and they certainly have had their under-performers as of late. But when something big/notable comes from them (something like a Spiderman, Guardians 3, or a Deadpool/Wolverine) audiences go to see them and they do pretty good numbers. So while I'm not uncynical about Marvel, I can definitely imagine hype and people wanting to see a new Avengers film.
