If it takes another 4 years or so for Bond 26 to release like some are predicting that's an 8 year gap between films, or a similar visual leap from LTK to TND.
Another 4 years? If EON's BOND 26 won't premiere before late 2027, then they really have no reason to not allow Nolan do make a one-off Bond film that premieres in late 2025. EON might work slow, but Nolan works fast.
Sounds like he was actively shopping Oppenheimer around in mid-21, so two years. Late '25 seems a tough ask if he started tomorrow.
Or from OHMSS to TSWLM
I'd agree. He's clearly not ready to update his IMDB with it. His "very thrilled that the strike is over and we can all get to back to work" could even read to me as "they wouldn't talk to me before because we were locked in strikes, now me and Eon can at least talk." So there could still be hope, but as many have pointed out, we can only take each party at their public word for now, and he's debunked the rumors to our face.

That said I think the reboot would benefit from a fresher voice. The Craig films whether directly or indirectly, were heavily influenced by Nolan and you can feel it. I’d love to see someone like Gareth Evans, Damien Chazelle, Park Chan-wook, Alfonso Cuaron, or Denis Villeneuve helm the next one.
Sad news, i expect Bond 26 2027 or later
But just in case….

Have to say I’m not surprised and am happy that EON don’t want to go down the AI path.
I think that’s always been the case on the gaming side of things unfortunately. EON have always wanted the current Bond to be at the forefront of all marketing, and the one time we were able to get a Connery video game in FRWL, that was during the transitional period between Brozzy and Craig.
The ideal time to do a concept like that would’ve been the 50th anniversary with 007 Legends.
I was quite shocked at seeing the Moore resemblance too, but I can also see a tad bit of Connery in that drawing too, as well as the facial scar Fleming’s Bond had. Perhaps that’ll be the direction going forward; not taking inspiration from any specific actor, and instead creating amalgamated versions based on specific traits of the actors.
He was the most machine gun heavy Bond of all of them. Makes sense he translates well to shoot em ups.
YES, I have been saying this for a while. Go back to basics and do it well; and resist being too trendy.
I am an original Bond fan. Connery remains my favorite Bond, but I agree. It doesn't make sense to bring back Craig's supporting cast. We don't need the old group living in another timeline in which there wasn't a previous Bond who got killed. Yes, Judi Dench transitioned quite nicely between two Bonds, but I am tired of hearing that. Been there, done that. Blow it all up and start again.
The new Bond should truly start anew.
I would accept Ralph Fiennes back as M as long as he was Sir Miles. I'm just scared more and more that Purvis and Wade are truly coming back. NOTHING needs to change more than the writing for Bond. I still think that Anthony Horowitz should be allowed to pitch some ideas.
