James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli revealed plans for the next stage of the iconic character's new adventure. Broccoli noted that filming for the next 007 movie is roughly two years away, as the studio works to reinvent the character and find a replacement for the universe's former leading man, Daniel Craig.

James Bond has been a staple in the cinematic universe since its inception in May 1963 with the release of Dr. No, which starred Scottish actor Sean Connery, the first leading man to play the titular figure. After Connery, several talented actors have taken up the mantel of 007, with Craig and Pierce Brosnan embodying the last two portrayals of the iconic character. The hunt now beings a new face to continue the characters' legacy, but until then, filming will have to wait.

There isn’t a script, and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond."

«We're reinventing who he is, and that takes time,» stated Broccoli. «I'd say that filming is at least two years away.» Craig recently ended his fifteen-year run as 007, which began in 2006 with Casino Royale. The actor's final film as the emblematic character came in 2021 with No Time to Die, the fourth-best performing film globally that year, bringing in over $770 million from the worldwide box office.
