Deadline’s reporting that Jean-Marc Vallee (Dallas Buyers Club and Sharp Objects) and Edgar Wright are at the top of the list to replace Boyle.

Saïd Taghmaoui is apparently standing by for the villain role.

They don't have a clue what they're doing do they?

They’re starting from scratch and who knows what elements from the previous iteration will make the crossover to the next. It’ll be a while before we get anything solid too since Craig just signed up to do another movie with Rian Johnson -

I guess it won’t.

Cary Fukunaga will direct.

He directed 8 eps of true detective...I believe all season one. That show was phenomenal...season 1 only. He can direct it would seem.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

He also directed Beasts of No Nation with future Bond Idris Elba.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

That'll never happen unfortunately, there will be a black Bond for sure, but I remember these arguments for Colin Salmon. For Elba it's an age thing now

Freddie Mercury vs. James Bond.

Lupita Nyong’o is also rumored to join.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

Idris Elba is too old to play Bond now, in his 50s he looks like now. Who wants that for a new Bond?

Don’t sweat it, ponyboy.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

I wish they weren't bringing back Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) again, as I felt her and Craig did not have good chemistry together and feel they should just forget about that character.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

^ Oo I liked Madeleine Swann, so glad to hear she is going to be in the new Bond film. :)

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

Sounds like the new Bond is going to be more of a sequel to the previous film.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

But so many fans of James Bond hated Spectre, and it was possibly the worst one on the series for me, if not one of the worst. So why would they want to make a sequel to one, that the majority of fans didn't seem to like even?

Maybe because it would be weird if she wasn't in the next one, given how Spectre ended.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

Well for most of the movies, Bond takes off with the girl in the end, and the girl is forgotten about in the next movie. Why is Spectre any different?

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

The Craig movies have a stronger focus on continuity in general.

Re: James Bond 25 (2019)
 

Yeah I guess so. But if they must bring her back I feel they should kill her off right away, since I feel that her and Bond didn't have good chemistry. And I feel they shouldn't bring back Christoff Waltz's character, and just write it so that he never gets out of prison and move on to better villains and just put Spectre in the past.

It's likely that Daniel Craig will still play 007 for the next several Bond films. He's stated that he'll continue with the character "...as long as I still get a kick out of it." It's hard to turn down those gargantuan paydays. Plus, he's very good in the role. He'll probably stop only when he gets too old to play the character.
