Almost three years on since Daniel Craig exploded out of the James Bond film franchise in No Time To Die and fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement of his successor.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson continues to be the bookies’ favourite following several reports that he’d been offered the role earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, the latest rumours surround who will direct the Bond 26 reboot.
At one point Christopher Nolan was reportedly in talks with Barbara Broccoli, but now it looks like three other filmmakers are “in contention.”

According to World of Reel, All Quiet on the Western Front’s Edward Berger is under consideration at EON Productions. Other names include The King’s David Michod and Venom: The Last Dance’s Kelly Marcel.
Additionally, this outlet highlighted that the next Bond movie “is still a few years away. The earliest we’d be getting this 007 reboot is in 2027.” Meanwhile, some other scoopers who also picked up on the Berger rumours had more to say on X.
There have been calls made. The idea that there hasn’t been is very funny to me. Does Barbara just sit at home all day playing Candy Crush? https://t.co/Z6Q03tK46b

Deadline’s Justin Kroll tweeted: “All I’m gonna say on BOND is this, producers have had no filmmakers meetings with any potential candidates yet.”
Scooper Jeff Sneider replied: “There have been calls made. The idea that there hasn’t been is very funny to me. Does Barbara just sit at home all day playing Candy Crush?”
Kroll added: “This tweet is not a shot at Jeff, Berger could end up getting it. For whatever reason, this rumour ramped up in recent days and I made calls and according to people close to process no serious meetings about who will direct next Bond have happened in recent months. Little context.”
