JAMES BOND 25 Has A Release Date And Writing Team But Will Daniel Craig Return As 007?
The status of James Bond 25 has been up in the air for a while now but with a release date finally set, will Daniel Craig be making his return as the iconic Ian Fleming creation? Find out all we know here.
The 25th James Bond movie is going to be a big deal but after Spectre disappointed (following Skyfall was always going to be tough), excitement for this instalment isn't exactly at an all-time high right now.
Regardless, it's happening and we now know that James Bond 25 will be released in US theaters on November 8th, 2019. It will reach the UK and the rest of the world earlier than that but probably only by a week or two. It's also been confirmed that Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade will once again be teaming up to tell Bond's latest adventure.
Longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are also back so, behind the scenes, very little has changed. What we don't know is who will direct but that's unlikely to be Sam Mendes. The cast also hasn't been announced but The New York Times has run a story in which they claim that Daniel Craig is going to return as 007 and that this will be his last outing as the iconic character.
