An MGM producer has provided an update on the search for the next James Bond.

Pamela Abdy told The Hollywood Reporter (H/T ComicBook.com) that things are hush precise much "wide open", perhaps indicating that on that point are no frontrunners and there has been none serious discussions with actors aft Daniel Craig's going away as 007.

In fact, position-No Time to Give out's wildly successful release, Abdy has only had "very primaeval preliminary conversations with [producers] Barbara [Broccoli] and Michael [Wilson], but we wanted Daniel to have his senior hurrah."

Craig's 00-agent very much went out on his own terms very fast to Cash in one's chips, going the door wide open for a definitive reboot.

Despite talks not getting off the ground yet, that hasn't stopped up a handful of menag names throwing their hat into the ring, either as Bond himself surgery as section of the franchise.

Dwayne Johnson has revealed to Esquire that he would loved one to "follow in the footsteps" of his grandfather Peter Maivia (WHO was a baddie in You Only Live Twice) and "equal the next Bond."

Likewise, H Cavill – long joined to 007, having besides lost dead to Daniel Craig for the part in Casino Royale – is "real keen" on being part of the franchise, but not necessarily as Bond.

Even filmmakers want a spell of Bond, with Edgar Wright saying he has a pitch for a Bond boot, every bit does No Sentence to Drop dead director Cary Fukunaga.

Whatever MGM, Barbara Brassica oleracea italica, and Michael Wilson nation on, it's clear they'll have nobelium dearth of suitors – yet if the decisiveness is ostensibly allay a long way of life off.

From Dr. No to Nobelium Time to Die, agree out our complete superior of the best James Bond movies.
