Since then, sevenactors have played James Bond, the most recent being Daniel Craig.
Additionally, it was the first movie to kill the iconic spy.
This is especially true now, sinceAmazon has full creative control of theJames Bondfranchise.
Since control of the franchise has changed hands, progress is finally being made onBond 26.
However, it will still probably be several years before the movie is released.
Before the Craig films, all theJames Bondmovies were technically part of the same continuity.
This was always strange to me, as the different actors all obviously brought different qualities to the role.
This is exactly what happened when Craig started playing the MI6 spy.
It would make the most sense forBond 26to follow the same strategy asCasino Royaleand start completely from scratch.
Overall, it is currently unclear what direction the nextJames Bondmovie will take.
Compared to other movies in the franchise,Craig’sJames Bondfilms were much more serious and often darker in tone.
There have been reports thatBond 26may return to the series' campier tone.

Therefore, it’s understandable why the development ofBond 26without Craig has been so difficult.
However, it also needs to be noted that Craig is a very difficult James Bond to replace.
While progress will likely move quicker now, it will still be hard to find Craig’s replacement.
How Long Will It Be Before We Finally Get James Bond 26?
However, it will likely still be years before the movie is released.
In fact, thegap betweenNo Time to DieandBond 26will likely be the longest in the history of the franchise.
Currently,it seems like there will be a longer gap betweenNo Time to DieandBond 26.
More than likely,ifBond 26isn’t released in 2027, it will come out in 2028.
