Daniel Craig’s last film as James Bond is less than a year old. James Bond 007 – No Time To Die ended the long era of the Brit, who was initially received with skepticism and eventually rose to become one of the most popular actors of the agent character.
But how should the Bond series continue after Craig? Things have been quiet since Bond 25 hit theaters.

The Broccoli family, who manage the agent franchise, wanted to take their time looking for a Bond successor. Now there is a first sign of life. Producer Barbara Broccoli offers an update to Deadline. She talks about the realignment of the Bond character and roughly when we can expect the next film.
After Daniel Craig: What’s next for James Bond?
Those responsible remain calm when it comes to the future, but have big plans:
Nobody is in a hurry. We’re just figuring out where we’re going with him (Bond), we’re talking it through. There is no script and we cannot create one while we are still deciding what to do with the next film […]
Then follows the crucial sentence, which makes it clear that after Daniel Craig we can expect a turnaround, maybe even a revolution of the character.
[…] because, really, it is reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is, and that takes time.
Exactly what this “reinvention” means for the character is unclear.
When will James Bond continue? Broccoli also gave a rough schedule for the future of Bond. I would say filming is at least 2 years away.
That means a theatrical release of James Bond 26 is at least 4 years away, probably longer.
