I think Mark Mylod is a pretty good idea. "The Menu" was very entertaining. Sadly David McKenzie will most likely be busy in the coming months. He starts filming a movie with Aaron Taylor-Johnson in June, so I guess this will rule him out.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Luke Newton (from "Bridgerton") yet. Too young, I guess. Don't know anything about his acting, haven't seen the show.

Bird would be a fantastic choice. Not only would he most likely bring back more humor and a little lightness after the mostly serious Craig era, I think he could be able to balance all the important "ingredients" (action, thrill, humor, gadgets) wel…

Looks like we now know Villeneuves "secret project": https://deadline.com/2024/04/nuclear-war-movie-denis-villeneuve-legendary-dune-part-two-bestselling-book-1235876114/ The chances of him taking over as director for Bond 26 are now probably get…

I wonder how big the chances are that there will be some official news this year... I'm starting to think we may have to wait until next year regarding Bond 26 news. Maybe the first official information we hear could be the choice of the director?

Personally, I would have preferred it if Villeneuve directed NTTD (although I think Fukunaga did a good job directing-wise) instead of the next movie. For various reasons, Villeneuves directing style would fit very well to the Craig era: Slow, dark,…

Why are we (almost) only talking about Nolan and Villeneuve lately? I think there are a lot of other interesting and talented directors out there...🙂

Hopefully it's not true, my anticipation for the next movie would be gone. :( There are many other talented directors out there.

Well, assuming the producers would like to hire Villeneuve it's most likely because they like his films and his filming style. Almost all of his films are relatively slow and very serious, with very little humor. If they want to go to back to more h…

Really sad times...looks more like a 2030 (or later) release now. ☹️

A film with a good balance of all elements would be great to start the next era. Maybe something in the direction of TLD would be great. It has a solid plot and some suspense and drama, but also decent humor and gadgets.
-
To be honest, hearing this news we maybe even have to wait until 2027 for a new Bond movie. :(
