On the other hand, James Bond enthusiasts have to wait long as reportedly the next 007 movie is still two years away, this will be the longest interval between Bond films in the franchise which has been running for 64 years. The series has not had an extended break before, as fans had to wait six years between Licence to Kill in 1989 and GoldenEye in 1995.

New James Bond Film Scheduled for 2028, Denis Villeneuve to Direct

The last James Bond film with Daniel Craig was 2021’s No Time To Die and since then, the search for his successor is still on. If the speculated spring 2028 release is true, it will mean the public will have to wait a long seven years between Bond movies, the longest interval in the 64-year history of the franchise.

Besides a new film, big changes are also happening to the production side as the Broccoli family is passing the creative authority to Amazon MGM Studios after 30 years. Amazon that bought Bond’s parent studio in 2022 is the one who started this new chapter for the legendary spy series.

Denis Villeneuve, the director of Dune, has been officially named as the director of the movie, and Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders is the writer of the scenario, a combination that has generated high enthusiasm among the fans for a radical new direction of the franchise.

New James Bond Film Confirmed for 2028 as Production Team Prioritizes Getting It Right

A​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ person close to the production has assured that the crew are giving quality the first place over speed. “Bond will only be back in 2028. The production mentality has changed from ‘Let’s quickly do this’ to ‘Let’s be sure that we will do this right,'”
They also revealed that director Denis Villeneuve wants to have a clear direction for the storyline after finishing Dune 3, and before that Steven Knight will be going through different versions of the script and only after that will the two determine the last one – the whole summer is the minimum time this process is expected to take.
In fact, the source revealed to The Sun that pre-production is planned for January 2027 while main filming will be taking place in the summer. Since post-production usually lasts from nine months to a year, releasing in 2028 is the most feasible timeline for seeing Bond’s return to the cinema after a long ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌wait.
