It’s all relatively quiet in the world of Bond. Due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strikes, production on most Hollywood projects has ground to a halt. That includes the James Bond franchise.
Daniel Craig retired from the role back in 2021 with the release ofNo Time To Die. Presumably, before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes were enacted,Bondproducers were hard at work beginning their casting search for the next 007. It’s not currently possible for that search to continue, but we do know a couple of names that have been thrown in the hat. Idris Elba is a major frontrunner in terms of fan choice, although the actor himselfdoesn’t seem overly keen on the idea. It’s also assumed thatAaron Taylor Johnson has been in talkswith producers. While we may not know who will be portraying Bond next, one insider claims to know who will be stepping in to direct the next franchise instalments.

Nolan is, of course, responsible for a string of hits includingOppenheimer, Dunkirk, The Dark Knight, Tenet, andInception. A fresh lease of life could be just what the franchise needs. For now, take these rumours with a pinch of salt.
