James Bond's next mission is set: The 25th 007 film is officially slated for release in 2019.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Eon Productions revealed Monday that the upcoming spy flick is scheduled to open in theaters on Nov. 8, 2019. The news, however, did not come with any confirmation as to who would play the iconic secret agent in the still-untitled film.
Daniel Craig, who has starred in the last four Bond movies, has been all over the place on the issue over the last two years or so. At one point, he went so far as to suggest suicide would be better than reprising the role, only to later admit he would miss playing 007. More recently, reports have indicated that Craig will return.
Insiders seems to think the British actor has one more Bond movie in him, Variety reports. However, we won't know for sure until the announcement is made. Yet, whether or not Craig is in, Bond will live on, just like he always does.

James Bond will be back in action in 2019, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Eon Productions said Monday.
The 25th film about the legendary super-spy will hit theaters on Nov. 8, 2019. There’s no word yet on whether or not Daniel Craig will be asking for his martinis shaken, not stirred. The companies said that additional details regarding the film’s distribution, including international release dates, its cast and director, will be announced at a later date. However, some insiders believe that there is a good chance Craig will return for at least one more outing as 007.
Bond won’t have the premiere date all to his bespoke-suited lonesome. Disney will be releasing an untitled fairy tale movie on the same date.
MGM and Eon also are looking for a studio to handle the marketing and the distribution of the film. Warner Bros., Fox, Sony, and Universal are among the studios that would like to release the latest Bond, with some insiders giving a slight edge to Warners.
“Spectre,” the most recent Bond adventure, reunited Craig with “Skyfall” director Sam Mendes. It grossed $880.7 million globally.
The next film doesn’t have a formal title yet. It will be written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. The duo is steeped in 007 lore, having previously handled scripts for “Casino Royale,” “Quantum of Solace,” “Skyfall,” and “Spectre.” The film will be produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.
One of the longest-running franchises in cinematic history, famed spy 007 will return in the upcoming Bond 25. The film sees Daniel Craig (who has been in the role since 2006's Casino Royale) return to the fold. After the divisiveness of Spectre, many thought the series would enter a new era, but Craig is hoping to end his tenure on a high note with another exciting mission. Here's all you need to know about the sequel.
- James Bond 25
- Release Date: February 14, 2020
- Cast: Daniel Craig
- Director: Cary Fukunaga
- Writer: Neal Purvis, Robert Wade
Last Update: September 20, 2018
Daniel Craig Plays James Bond For the Final Time
After Spectre, it looked like Craig's tenure as 007 was over. Not only did the film's ending send the spy literally riding off with his love, Craig himself seemed over the franchise. He was particularly prickly during Spectre promotion, at one point saying he'd rather slit his wrists than portray the character again. However, he later changed his tune and signed on for one more mission, saying he wants to conclude his time as Bond on a high note with Bond 25.

No Bond 25 Supporting Cast Is Confirmed
Several of Bond's MI6 allies from Skyfall, including Ralph Fiennes' M, Naomi Harris' Eve Moneypenny, and Ben Wishaw's Q returned for Spectre. It's reasonable to assume they'll all be back for the next sequel, but nobody is officially signed on at this point in time. Presumably that will change soon, since Bond 25 needs to start filming soon to make its release date.

Christoph Waltz Won't Play Blofeld In Bond 25
Two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz was cast as Spectre's main villain, revealed to be famed Bond nemesis Ernst Blofeld. In the film, he also went by the name Franz Oberhauser and was Bond's foster brother. Blofeld was left alive at the end of Spectre, seemingly as a way to carry him over into a sequel. However, Waltz has gone on record to say while he would have liked to come back, he will not be returning to the franchise.

Helena Bonham Carter is Rumored For Bond 25 Villain
Bond villains are cinematic legend at this point, so there's always much interest in who will torment 007 next. With Waltz out of the picture, that distinction could fall to Helena Bonham Carter, who is reportedly at the top of the producers' list for the antagonist. Carter has played a wide range of characters throughout her career, so she would be a strong fit.

Bond 25 Does Not Have An Official Title
As many fans know by now, Bond 25 is merely a placeholder for the film's official name, which will be revealed at some point in the future. One of the bigger rumors about the film indicates it will be called Shatterhand and draw inspiration from the novel Never Dream of Dying by Raymond Benson. The plans for Bond 25 seem to have changed since that speculation came out, so viewers shouldn't read too much into that right now, however.

Beyonce May Record Bond 25 Theme Song
One of the franchise's most noteworthy trademarks is the song that plays over the stylized opening credits sequence. Every film sees a different artist lend their talents - to varying degrees of success. Bond 25 might bring out the big guns by recruiting none other than Beyonce to sing the tune. Arguably, Adele's 'Skyfall' is the bar for themes in the Craig era, so it'll be interesting to see if Beyonce (or whoever takes the job) can try to match the Oscar winning number.

Bond 25's Distribution Rights
When Craig first took on the role in 2006's Casino Royale, it marked the beginning of MGM's partnership with Sony, who distributed the films worldwide. That contract was for four films, meaning it expired with the release of Spectre. Hollywood became embroiled in an intense bidding war for the Bond rights, with several major studios vying for the tentpole. In the end, it was indie upstart Annapurna Pictures that landed the domestic rights, with Universal securing international. Bond is one of the biggest properties worldwide, so there's lots of money to be made here.

Cary Fukunaga Directs Bond 25
Originally, Oscar-winner Danny Boyle was pegged to direct Bond 25, but he departed due to creative differences with the producers and Craig. EON quickly put together a search for a replacement and landed on True Detective's Cary Fukunaga, who also directed the Netflix film Beasts of the Southern Wild. He becomes the first American to call the shots on a Bond film and should offer a unique perspective.

Neal Purvis & Robert Wade Write Bond 25
When Boyle was attached, the Bond 25 script was set to be written by Trainspotting scribe John Hodge - injecting the franchise with some much-needed new blood in regards to writing. But now that Boyle has left the project, it's reasonable to assume Hodge is going with him. That's precisely what's happening, as reports indicate franchise veterans Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (who have written every Bond film since 1999) are returning.

Bond 25 Begins Filming March 2019
Bond 25 was originally supposed to start filming by the end of this year, but that isn't happening anymore. As EON conducted their director search, Craig signed on for Rian Johnson's mystery-thriller Knives Out, which begins production in November. Obviously, MI6 needs to wait for their leading man to be free. Coinciding with the Fukunaga announcement, the studio confirmed production will begin in March 2019.

Bond 25 Does Not Have a Trailer or Poster
Since the film hasn't started shooting yet, there are no marketing materials available. Odds are, nothing will come out until late 2019 after production wraps.

There are worse places to announce that James Bond will return.. On April 25, 2019, Goldeneye – the Jamaican home of 007 creator Ian Fleming – played host to the launch of the as-yet untitled Bond 25.
Beneath the Caribbean sun, long-time Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson were joined by director Cary Fukunaga and various members of the Bond 25 cast, including leading man Daniel Craig, ahead of his fifth and (apparently) final appearance in the tuxedo.
So it's now been confirmed that Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek is on board (almost definitely as a villain), and that he'll be joined by Captain Marvel’s Lashana Lynch and Blade Runner 2049’s Ana de Armas – as well as the usual gang of supporting players like Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw.
Of course, actual Bond 25 plot details are wrapped up more securely than a vault in a cellar at MI6 headquarters, but information is starting to leak out – and surely more will emerge as production gets underway in Jamaica, London and Italy. (Fukunaga has confirmed that some shooting has already taken place in Norway “due to weather”.)
So put away your Walther PPK, pour yourself a vodka martini and work your way through all this intel on 007's latest outing, including the Bond 25 release date, the trailer, the title (somehow we don't think it'll be Shatterhand..) and – of course – speculation on who might be singing the opening theme tune.
Fast Facts:
- Bond 25 release date: April 8, 2020
- Bond 25 director: Cary Fukunaga
- Bond 25 cast: Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, Jeffrey Wright, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, David Dencik, Billy Magnussen, Dali Benssalah
- Bond 25 writers: Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Scott Burns, Phoebe Waller-Bridge
BOND 25 RELEASE DATE
Originally, the Bond 25 release date was scheduled for October 25, 2019 in the UK, and a little later on November 8, 2019 in the States… but Danny Boyle's unexpected departure as director naturally threw several spanners in the works. Luckily, Eon Productions was quick to find a replacement in Cary Fukunaga (see below),
That means a pushed back Bond 25 release date to April 8, 2020, so it looks like the movie will at least be out in theatres worldwide on the same day, instead of being delayed by several weeks amongst different regions, as was the plan before. Hopefully the wait will be worth it – until then, you'll just have to rewatch the best James Bond movies. A couple of times.
BOND 25 DIRECTOR
Cary Fukunaga joined as Bond 25 director in September 20, announced on the official James Bond Twitter account, less than a month after it was revealed that Danny Boyle had exited the project due to “creative differences”. The Guardian reports that Boyle, who previously helmed the likes of Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, that he left because the producers weren't happy with the script written by regular collaborator John Hodge. “I work in partnership with writers and I am not prepared to break it up..” he said. “We were working very, very well, but they didn’t want to go down that route with us. So we decided to part company.”
Instead, Fukunaga is most known for his work as director of True Detective season 1, but has also given us films like Beasts of No Nation, Jane Eyre, and, more recently, the new Netflix Original series Maniac. In a statement on Twitter, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson said of their new Bond 25 director: “We are delighted to be working with Cary. His versatility and innovation make him an excellent choice for our next James Bond adventure.'
This is exciting news, though somewhat surprising, given that Fukunaga has also been known to similarly leave projects like True Detective season 2 and the It movie amid creative conflicts with collaborators. You'd think that, after Danny Boyle's conscious uncoupling, the production team would naturally look for a Bond 25 director with less of a track record for jumping ship. Clearly, and admirably, they're committed to making this Bond film as special and memorable as the character himself.
New Bond Movie Update
Following Hodge’s departure, Fukunaga will now be working from a script from Bond veterans Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, along with Scott Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum) and Fleabag/Killing Eve legend Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
BOND 25 CAST
Daniel Craig is back as Bond for the fifth time, following his starring roles in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre. It’s now well over three years since his previous appearance, and there was speculation that we might be getting a new 007 to head up the Bond 25 cast – particularly after an astonishing interview with Time Out in 2015, where Craig proclaimed that “I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists” than appear in another Bond flick.
However, Craig confirmed that his mind had U-turned on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in August 2017. “Yes,” he replied when asked if he was returning. 'We've been discussing it, we've just been trying to figure things out… I always wanted to, I needed a break.'
However, Craig has openly stated that this will be his final 007 film. 'I just want to go out on a high note, and I can't wait,” he told Colbert.
As regards to his successor once Bond 25 is in the can, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and Damien Lewis have all been linked ahead of what will be Bond 26. So we’ve put together a comprehensive feature, wondering aloud who could be the new James Bond.
Beyond 007 himself, the Bond 25 cast news is that Bohemian Rhapsody Oscar-winner and Mr Robot star Rami Malek is definitely on board, confirming months of rumours. And it's almost definite that he's playing the villain – why else would he say at the Bond 25 launch that: “I promise you all I will be making sure Mr Bond does not have an easy ride of it in this, his 25th outing.” You can almost hear the maniacal laughter..
Other newcomers entering 007’s orbit in the Bond 25 cast include Ana de Armas (Blade Runner 2049), Lashana Lynch (Captain Marvel), David Dencik (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Billy Magnussen (Velvet Buzzsaw) and French newcomer Dali Benssalah – though who they're actually playing is anyone's guess.
There'll also be more familiar faces returning, as this era of Bond continues to be among the most consistent in terms of supporting players. Regular 007 sidekicks Ralph Fiennes (M), Naomie Harris (Moneypenny), Ben Whishaw (Q), Rory Kinnear (Tanner) and Jeffrey Wright (Felix Leiter) are all back in the saddle for Bond 25.
And intriguingly, so is Léa Seydoux, whose Madeleine Swann was last seen with Bond at the end of SPECTRE. With producer Barbara Broccoli confirming that “Bond is not on active service when we start the film, he is actually enjoying himself in Jamaica. So he starts his journey [there]”, we wouldn't mind betting that the couple are enjoying some R&R together when the movie kicks off. Fingers crossed things don't go as badly as they did for Jason Bourne’s vacation at the start of The Bourne Supremacy.
So the biggest Bond 25 cast mystery concerns whether Christoph Waltz will reprise his role as the villainous Ernst Stavro Blofeld, left incarcerated, but still alive, at the end of Spectre. Quizzed about the return of Waltz and Ben Whishaw, Fukunaga told , Inquirer in November that, 'Those are two extraordinary actors, so if there is space for them in the story, I would absolutely want them there. But I don’t know yet what it’s going to be.' Although he gave the caveat that the script was yet to be finalized.
As non-committal as you'd expect, then, but we'd be very surprised if Waltz isn't part of the Bond 25 cast – as the kingpin who's apparently driven the whole of the arc started in Casino Royale, it would be bizarre Blofeld's part in 007’s misery had already played out.
BOND 25 TRAILER
Seeing as the movie has barely started shooting – and isn't due in cinemas for a year – we won’t be seeing a Bond 25 trailer, poster, or concept art anytime soon. That doesn’t stop anyone predicting its due date, though. Skyfall’s first trailer came in May 2012, five months before the film’s October release, while our first glimpse of Spectre in motion emerged in March 2015, with the film itself out seven months later. Assuming Bond 25 adheres to a similar pattern, we should see its first trailer from November 2019 onwards.
BOND 25 TITLE
Short answer: there is no Bond 25 title as yet. “I can't remember the last time we had a title when we announced the beginning of a film,” laughed producer Michael G Wilson at the movie’s launch. “It's kind of a tradition now.”
That doesn't mean, however, that we can't speculate.
British newspaper The Mirror reports that the working Bond 25 title is Shatterhand, and that the film is based on 2001 novel Never Dream of Dying, but there’s been no confirmation of this from the studio or anyone involved in the project so far. We do know that Fukunaga will be following the Casino Royale plot arc (as all the more recent Bonds have), and that Craig's final appearance as Bond will likely complete it. But does this really fit into Never Dream of Dying? Not really. Pokemon emerald cheats gameshark.
Never Dream of Dying was the seventh Bond book written by American author Raymond Benson, after Zero Minus Ten, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Facts of Death, The World is Not Enough, High Time to Kill, and Double Shot. However, the two films on that list you’ll recognise as movies – Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough – were novelisations based on screenplays, as was Benson’s later work on Die Another Day. As yet none of his Bond originals have been turned into movies, so Never Dream of Dying forming the basis of Bond 25 would be a personal breakthrough for him. Particularly as he resigned from writing Bond books in 2003.
Meanwhile, a Breakdown Artist's employment listing on the website Mandy.com has revealed a working title of Eclipse. The page was since taken down, adding further credibility to its authenticity, but a cached version is still available to look at here. Eclipse has no connections to any historical Bond lore, meaning this next chapter doesn't take its inspiration from any previous film or novel, but instead follows the likes of Skyfall and Quantum of Solace to create an entirely new story. Either that, or 007's taking a vacation to Stonehenge for the winter solstice.
BOND 25 THEME
Securing a Bond theme is one of the biggest achievements in the entertainment business, with the last two going to Sam Smith (Spectre) and Adele (Skyfall). If the UK press is to believed Beyonce is being lined up for the next one. A source close to the singer is purported to have proclaimed this “the only project she is remotely interested in right now.” She’s said to have met with the film’s bosses, “and Adele told her how co-writing and performing a Bond theme gave her an amazing career hike.” As if that pair aren’t already among the most successful female artists of all time…
