Surprised at the Times. Did EON say DC was back? No. Til then, it's just speculation. No confirmation. No story here.
This x100. If it wasn't that big of an issue, they would've added Craig to the confirmation announcement today. We'll see how it pans out in the coming months.
Wait I thought Aidan Turner was the new James Bond
//However, some insiders believe that there is a good chance Craig will return for at least one more outing as 007.//
If they were really insiders, you'd think they'd know, rather than believe.
I'll take that as a "yes." Thanks for the candid response! :P
Lol, and from all the director talk these last bunch of pages feels like the best option for most of you will be Barbara doing what Simon Kinberg did on X-Men and directing it herself? Haha
Not necessarily, re: first draft. When SPECTRE's release date was announced in July 2013, they didn't have a first draft. They had a treatment. But the first draft wasn't finished until March 2014.
Hope so.

I think it's time to recast. Some people adore Craig's era, fair enough... but I truly believe it's time to move on. Bring on Bond actor#7. :)
Bamigboye's March story about Purvis and Wade also had unnamed sources and it turned out to be right.
If you're going to do a story before the announcement, you pretty much have to use unnamed sources. The question is how good is the news outlet. The Daily Mail has a trashy reputation but Bamigboye seems to be connected to what's going on.
The point is, there was no first draft at the time of the 2013 announcement. They had a treatment. That's a fact. It came out in the Sony hacks.
You're assuming they have a first draft because of today's announcement. Nobody here knows.
Historically, on this forum, I said I wouldn't believe anything, until Deadline posted something.
I've been reading this website since it's inception and it seems to be on the correct side of the ledger 95% of the time.
And when they say DC's "expected to return", I would advise you to "expect" DC's return.
My point is that the SP release date announcement was made on July two years before the film's release based on your post. The same thing is happening now for B25. That could suggest that this announcement is just a procedural thing, because they always intended to have the film in the theatres in Nov 2019 and needed to lock the date down - so they announce that fact 1.5 yrs before release as before.

@peter, fair enough. As I said before, there is no surprise or 'wow' factor to a Craig return at this point. It's been baked in since April when the rumour mill started churning. There really hasn't been anything to the contrary about him since (despite our ongoing playful speculation here). The only question has been the release date, distributor and director.
So for me, the real surprise and the fun, will be if we are getting Bond actor #7.
I still don't read anything in the "expected to return" comment as a result. Isn't that what we've been reading since April after all? So who out there in the press doesn't expect it? It's almost like saying night follows day.
One of the most respected, if not THE most respected film industry resources, tells its readership to expect DC back? I go banco...
