Bond 26 is an upcoming spy film and the twenty-sixth instalment in the James Bond film series produced by Eon Productions.[1]
Production
editPre-production
editIn December 2021, Barbara Broccoli expressed interest in seeing No Time to Die director Cary Joji Fukunaga return to direct another film in the James Bond film series.[2] By July 2023, Skyfall and Spectre director Sam Mendes revealed that he had declined a 'generous' offer to return to direct the film.[3]
Casting
editAfter Spectre, there was speculation that it would the final James Bond film to star Daniel Craig. In May 2016, it was reported that Craig had received a $100-million offer from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to do two more Bond films, but turned it down.[4] In October 2016, Craig denied having made a decision at that time. He further denied that $150 million was offered to him for the next two instalments.[5] In August 2017, Craig said that the next film, later revealed to be No Time to Die, would mark his final appearance as Bond on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.[6]
In September 2021, series producer Barbara Broccoli stated that the search to find the lead actor to play Bond for the twenty-sixth Eon-produced film would begin in 2022.[2] In December 2021, Broccoli stated that the next portrayal of the character would remain as male, though could be of any ethnicity or race.[7]
Following Rebel Wilson's hosting of the 75th British Academy Film Awards in March 2022, she got into contact with Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and auditioned for a role in the film.[8]
As of 2023, casting for a new actor to portray Bond is underway.[9]
Release
editIn September 2021, Barbara Broccoli stated that MGM intended to release future Bond films in movie theatres despite the then forthcoming acquisition of MGM by Amazon.[10] In August 2022, it was announced that the film would be distributed by Universal Pictures internationally despite MGM's shift to Warner Bros. Pictures.[11][12]
