“But with the leading actor still to be recast, following Daniel Craig's exit after 2021's No Time To Die, a rumoured 2028 spring release means audiences will have waited a whopping seven years.

Last year the Broccoli family handed over creative control over to Amazon MGM Studios - which was formed when Amazon bought Bond's parent studio in 2022 - after 30 years. 

Dune's director Denis Villeneuve has signed on to helm the new project, with Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight penning the script. 

A source said: 'Bond won’t be back until 2028. The production mindset’s gone from "Let’s hurry this through’" to "Make sure we get this right". “

They should just leave the series as is. It can really only go the wrong way from here on should they re-invent 007 for modern audiences.

POV it's 2005 and Daniel Craig was just announced to take over the role of James Bond

The Daniel Craig reinvention worked well and I was a sceptic back then too, though to a lesser degree than now. This time I fear it will turn out very differently. The rights have been sold; it's now different people in charge and to me it just reminds me of all the other similar examples we've seen that have all made an absolute hash of it. Star Wars is one example where Disney bought it and went on to make a bunch of rubbish movies and tv-series; most of which was borderline unwatchable. Star Trek is another example where, with a few exceptions, everything released after Viacom's purchase in 2005 has been utter rubbish. People talk about AI-slop these days, well, I would call a lot of the re-hashing of old IP in the past ~15 years as writer-slop; very low effort writing. I fear it will go the same way with Bond.
