We are still waiting for the 26th film James Bond
From the release of Dying can wait In 2021, James Bond’s future remains unanswered. The departure of Daniel Craig, who played 007 for fifteen years, marked the end of a cycle. To relaunch the car, the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson rely on a new face, but also on a new vision. It is in this context that five renowned directors have been approached to sign episode 26ᵉ of the saga. Their mission: reinvent Bond without betraying his DNA, at a time when the competition between franchise is also played behind the camera.
5 directors in the running: what we know
Among the names mentioned, that of Denis Villeneuve is naturally essential. Accustomed to spectacular and demanding successes (Dune,, Blade Runner 2049,, Cing), the Canadian has shown its ability to combine visual ambition and narrative tension. His attachment to realism, his rigor of staging and his taste for the figures of the authority could make him a solid candidate.
Another profile, Edward Berger. Less known to the public in general, the German won in 2022 with In the west nothing newVisceral war film that marked Netflix and the Oscars. More recently, Conclave He confirmed his appetite for welcoming politicians and atmospheres. His selection shows the desire for producers to explore European sensitivity, more sober and cerebral.
On the contrary, Edgar Wright offers a more pop and rhythmic vision. Revealed with Shaun of the Dead AND Hot fuzzthen greeted for Baby driverThe British cultivates an identifiable style, between syncopated assembly, British humor and love of the genre. A bold choice, which would decide with the last aspects, but could modernize the bond by betting on energy.
It was then Jonathan Nolan who found himself in the race, not his brother Christopher. Better known for his work as a screenwriter (The dark knight,, Interstellar) and showrunner (Westworld), remains an enigma as a director (he has already staged episodes of his series). His interest in the drawers and ambiguous characters could stick to a more introspective leap.
Finally, Paul King completes this unexpected list. Director of films PADADINGTON AND WonkaIt is more associated with a family and a poetic register. His name surprises, but testifies to the desire to dig original traces. It could bring a touch of emotion, even freshness, to a saga sometimes ranging from its codes.
No name has yet been formalized, but this very conflicting panel draws several possible scenarios for the rest of James Bond. A return home, a stylistic break or a mixture of the two. One thing is certain: the wait around binding 26 does not weaken.
