In this episode of The 007 Files, we break down what actually happened at CinemaCon, what Courtenay Valenti said about the next James Bond film, and why the lack of news is exactly what you should expect at this stage.
The discussion focuses on where Bond 26 really sits in development. With Denis Villeneuve attached to direct and Steven Knight writing the script, the film has not yet reached pre-production. That explains the absence of casting news and why speculation around timelines often misses the mark. The episode also looks at when Villeneuve might realistically turn his attention from Dune 3 to Bond, and what that means for the likely release window.
Beyond the film, the episode covers the wider James Bond landscape. That includes Charlie Higson’s new novel King Zero and the current state of literary Bond, where multiple authors and continuities are now running in parallel. It also touches on 007: First Light, including its music, tone and the way it approaches the Bond theme.
If you want a clear view of where Bond 26 actually stands then this episode lays it out.
