The director Yann Demange is the frontrunner to direct the next Bond movie, which has a tentative release date of 8 November 2019, according to a report in Variety.
At the time, Craig said he’d “rather break this glass and slash my wrists [than play Bond again]”.
Despite mixed reviews, Spectre made over $880m at the global box office, making it the second-biggest Bond adventure of all time.
French director Demange, who received the British Independent Film award for best director for ’71, is currently in post-production on the crime drama White Boy Rick, starring Matthew McConaughey.
