Pre-Production

Bond 25 has reportedly started with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli producing the film. EON Productions, MGM and Sony/Columbia Pictures will be producing the film. Bond 25 began development in early 2016; Mendes stated he would not be the film's director. In October 2016, Craig stated that he may indeed return for another film, saying, "As far as I'm concerned, I've got the best job in the world. I'll keep doing it as long as I still get a kick out of it. If I were to stop doing it, I would miss it terribly." Since Sony Pictures's contract to co-produce the series with MGM and Eon expired with the release of Spectre, another major film studio may land the distribution rights to release Bond 25 in cinemas.
