Christopher Nolan has once again addressed the persistent rumors linking him to the next James Bond film. In an interview with the Associated Press while promoting the home release of his film “Oppenheimer,” Nolan confirmed that he won’t be directing the next James Bond installment.
When asked about the rumors, Nolan responded, “No, sadly no. No truth to those rumors, but I’m very thrilled the strike is over and we can all get back to work.” This statement comes as MGM is still in the process of developing the next James Bond film and has yet to announce the new actor to take on the iconic role.
Nolan, known for his work on films like “Inception,” “The Dark Knight Trilogy,” and “Dunkirk,” has previously discussed his admiration for the James Bond franchise but emphasized the challenges and constraints of directing such a high-profile project.
While fans won’t see Christopher Nolan at the helm of the next James Bond film, the search for the director and the next actor to portray the iconic spy continues. The James Bond franchise is in a state of transition following Daniel Craig’s departure after “No Time To Die,” and fans eagerly await news about the next chapter in 007’s cinematic journey.
