As anticipation grows about who the next 007 agent will be, the studio behind the franchise, Amazon MGM Studios, is keeping tight-lipped.
In this completely secretive environment, some breadcrumbs are left out to give fans an insight into what to expect.
Starting with Denis Villeneuve, a Canadian filmmaker known for Dune, who has been added to the film.
Together with Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, for writing the screenplay.
These names indicate the seriousness with which the studio offers to create a spectacle after the departure of the last Bond agent, Daniel Craig.
Now at CinemaCon, Amazon MGM Studios head Courtenay Valenti has told fans to remain patient as they take their time to deliver the best experience yet.
“I know you’re all wondering when we’re going to announce who’s playing James Bond,” she said.
“Don’t get too excited. Please know that we are taking the time to do this with care and deep respect. It is the dream of a lifetime for all of us to bring audiences this next chapter, and it is a responsibility we do not take lightly.”
She continued: “What I can tell you is this: when you pair one of the most beloved franchises in history with a world-class filmmaking team, including the brilliant director Denis Villeneuve, the extraordinary producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, executive producer Tanya Lapointe and screenwriter Steven Knight, you pave the way for something truly worthy of the Bond legacy.”
“That film is coming, and when the time is right, we will have a lot more to share,” Courtenay concluded.
Despite the message, fans have been in overdrive trying to guess who will play the next James Bond. Names from Jacob Elordi to Callum Turner have been thrown into the mix.
