What the expert says...
Villeneuve & Knight Confirmed For New Bond Film
With Amazon MGM Studios taking over the franchise reins, they’ve wasted no time assembling a heavyweight team behind the scenes.
Denis Villeneuve's coming to the director’s chair, alongside a Steven Knight-penned script, suggests a grittier, cinematic tone for Bond's next chapter.
This creative duo has sparked further interest in the betting market, particularly around actors known for both action and dramatic depth, which may explain Taylor-Johnson’s move into favourite status.
