I think Craig is gone.
The beauty of Bond is that Craig could actually come back and they could completely ignore SF and SP and its not an issue. For the audience any way. Might be for Craig
... because...?
I don't care how much you liked that plot twist on Dallas, it's not good for Bond. I would never want to see a movie begin in such a way that it spits on the last few movies as being mere dreams.

There are several reasons why such a cooperation between Christopher Nolan's production company Syncopy and the Broccoli's EON Productions might actually work:
--> Warner Brothers is poised to become the next Bond film distributor. Christopher Nolan has an extensive relationship with WB.
--> Warner Brothers is currently not in shape to compete their DC Comics universe with Disney's Marvel.
--> WB's lovebaby Zack Snyder is now hugely criticized for his latest DC Comics installment "Batman vs. Superman". The film has been a financial disappointment ($872 Million) and isn't even able to outperform "SPECTRE" ($880 Million).
--> WB needs a very stable movie franchise and James Bond could be their prime target.
--> If a deal is signed anytime soon, between Warner Bros., Metro Goldwyn Mayer and EON Productions, and if that deal includes Christopher Nolan as director, then perhaps even Daniel Craig might be convinced to return for one final and 5th time (He never worked together with Nolan).
I think Nolan would be the perfect follow-up to the two Nolan-esque Mendes film and the equally Nolan-esque "Casino Royale". And what Bond needs now is a certain continuity....especially in style, and perhaps too in the timeline.
-> Disney is the world's most powerful brand after the successful acquisitions, including Marvel and Lucasfilm.
-> The distribution company Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures may opposed to become the new James Bond distributor, under the Disney-brand, instead of Warner Brothers in order to become their prime target.
-> Disney-Marvel's 'Captain America: Civil War' have done really well with $1.0billion in the worldwide box office, the company achieved it's highest grossing films for the past nine years.
-> In 2005, Disney and MGM made the film 'The Brothers Grimm' under the Dimension Films label.
-> In 1985, Disney and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer signed a licencing contract to create a theme park of what become 'Disney-MGM Studios' (now Disney's Hollywood Studios) that opened on May 1st 1989 respectively.
-> If the deal is signed anytime soon, between Walt Disney Pictures; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; and EON Productions, and giving ourselves a Martian War story; Daniel Craig should return for Bond 25.
Christopher Nolan may rule out Bond again to direct Bond 25 if Disney buys it? How about we can have Rob Marshall ('Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stanger Tides') to direct Bond 25 instead!
Disney's acquisition of James Bond really appeals to me :-)
Ughhh, NEVER! No Disney! It's like selling the beloved Bond franchise to the devil. The examples you mention are pretty flawed too. The recent reshoots of "Rogue One" (a Star Wars anthology film), to make it less darker and serious, is a prime example of why Bond should never become in hands of Disney.
As do I.
1. Unlike Disney and WB apart from the X-men franchises they don't really have a lot
2. They had or possibly still have certain distinction rights for DVDs and the like with bond and MGM
3. Mgm had a deal with fox on a few films to codistribute
Which of course means Michael Fassbender is the next 007 ;)
Actually i don't think we can really garner actor or director based on distribution deals.... Had for example BVS been a hit and people sang the praises of Snyder I highly doubt anyone would think he would direct Bond 25.

The sun insists Bond 25 is Risico
Or
Leonardo Di Caprio in talks to play villian of bond 25..
Too much IQ needed for that. Why bother, if these headlines are working just fine? :(
No real news yet it seems.
Yes @Jake24, Arnold will never be Barry. But no one will ever be Barry.
Arnold gets the spirit of the music and really nails it in CR and QoS. He needs to come back-- especially if Craig is returning. If I'm not mistaken he said, during the QoS production, that the music was far more "masculine" because of the leading man, DC.
