Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film, marking the first installment under the new ownership of Amazon MGM Studios. However, despite the takeover in 2025, fans likely won’t see the movie in theaters until 2028.
Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the film, and Steven Knight has written the screenplay. Casting for the next James Bond is currently underway.
Even though there isn’t much information available, rumors are spreading quickly. According to a report in The Sun, the next James Bond film might not be released until 2028, which would be seven years after the last one came out in theaters.
According to a source, the next James Bond film isn’t expected until 2028. The focus has shifted from rushing production to ensuring the movie is made well.
Denis Villeneuve is planning an extended break after finishing Dune 3 and has initial concepts for the script. Steven will begin writing drafts, and then they’ll collaborate to finalize the script, a process expected to take the entire summer.

“Realistically, if they can make January 2027 work for pre-production then that will be a success.
Filming will continue until summer, and it typically takes nine to twelve months to finish editing the movie.
It totally reminds me of what Amazon’s leaders told us at CinemaCon recently – they gave us a little peek into how their search for the next James Bond is going! It feels like they’re saying the same thing now.
Everyone’s been buzzing about who’s going to be the next James Bond ever since Daniel Craig finished his run with No Time To Die back in 2021. It’s such a huge role, and I’m really curious to see who they cast!
Courtenay Valenti, who leads film development at Amazon MGM Studios, acknowledged the widespread anticipation for the announcement of the next James Bond actor, saying she understands everyone is eager to find out who will take on the role.
Okay, so try not to get too hyped just yet! We really want you to know that we’re putting a lot of care and respect into this. Honestly, bringing this next story to you all is a dream come true for everyone involved, and we’re taking that responsibility very seriously. We want to get it right!
According to Valenti, combining a hugely popular franchise like James Bond with a top-notch creative team – including director Denis Villeneuve, producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, executive producer Tanya Lapointe, and screenwriter Steven Knight – promises a film that will do justice to the Bond legacy.
“That film is coming, and when the time is right, we’ll have much more to share.”
