Instead, six other director names with James Bond 26, as the Telegraph notes in a detailed report that wonders why the reboot of the series is taking so long. Apparently, Eon, the production company behind the Bond series, has met with the first directors.

The 6 directing candidates for James Bond 26:

  • Edward Berger is the most exciting name on the list. The German director has achieved remarkable things in both cinema and television – not only in Germany, but also internationally. In addition to numerous series, he recently caused a stir with the remake of All Quiet on the Western Front.
  • David Michôd comes from Australia and knows how to stage serious material in a gripping way, be it a crime thriller like Animal Kingdom or a grim end-time western like The Rover. Under the Netflix umbrella, he has also staged the satire War Machine and the historical epic The King.
  • Kelly Marcel was long known as a screenwriter for films such as Saving Mr. Banks and Fifty Shades of Grey. Through the Venom series, she grew more and more into the versatile tasks of filmmaking, so that she even took over the direction of the third part, Venom: The Last Dance.
  • Yann Demange recently suffered a franchise defeat. Although he was set to direct Marvel’s Blade reboot for a long time, he left the post after the project was reorganized several times. He earned his stripes with the thriller 71 and the drama White Boy Rick.
  • Bart Layton has the least blockbuster profile. Rather, he comes from the documentary field, where he celebrated his breakthrough in 2012 with the con man story The Imposter. He then made the heist film American Animals, which was inspired by a real bank robbery.
  • Martin Campbellwho, like Marcel, Demange and Layton, comes from Great Britain, is the only Bond veteran in the group. He has brought 007 back to the cinema twice. The first time in 1995 with GoldenEye, the second time in 2006 with Casino Royale. Both films were celebrated as huge successes in their time.

    • MGM/20th Century Studios

    Three of the six names (Berger, Michôd and Marcel) previously appeared in reports by World of Reel and well-connected scooper Jeff Sneider. As favorite The most obvious candidate is Berger, who has a good standing in Hollywood thanks to his reliable work on series such as The Terror, Patrick Melrose and Your Honor.

    In addition, All Quiet on the Western Front enjoyed a remarkable triumph, culminating in nine nominations and four awards (including Best International Film) at the 2023 Oscars. In addition to Bond, Hollywood has directly for another series of agents in mind: Jason Bourne.

    Wait, and what about Denis Villeneuve, Matthew Vaughn and Danny Boyle? Although these names have already been mentioned in conjunction with Bond 26, just like with Nolan, we shouldn’t expect Eon to choose any of these prominent blockbuster directors. After all, Boyle has already dropped out of a Bond film once.

    When does James Bond 26 come to cinemas?

    The next James Bond film is still a few years away. The lead actor has not yet been chosen and there are many question marks surrounding the director’s position. It is also unclear who will write the screenplay. Based on this pace, James Bond should be released in 26 at earliest End of 2026if not until 2027, in theaters.
