Big news for James Bond fans! The upcoming 26th Bond film is expected to begin filming in late 2026, possibly between autumn and early winter. This will mark a new chapter for the legendary spy franchise.
The 26th Action movie will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, the filmmaker known for major films like Dune. The script has been written by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders. The Sun newspaper Reports suggest that the story may explore the growing threat of artificial intelligence (AI), giving the classic spy series a modern twist.
This film will also be the first Bond movie under Amazon MGM Studios, which recently took creative control of the franchise. That means fans could see some changes in how the film is released. There is even speculation that it could premiere in theaters and on Prime Video around the same time — something that has never happened before in the franchise’s 64-year history.
One of the biggest questions right now is: Who will be the next James Bond? After Daniel Craig ended his run with No Time to Die in 2021, many actors have been rumored for the role. Names like Henry Cavill, Jacob Elordi, and Callum Turner are often mentioned, but no official announcement has been made yet.
Director Denis Villeneuve has shared that he deeply respects the Bond legacy. He has said that Bond is “sacred territory” for him and that he plans to honor the tradition while bringing fresh energy to the series.
With filming set to begin soon, fans can expect more updates about casting and story details in the coming months. The countdown to the next 007 adventure has officially started.
