It's been a long road since that film was released and Daniel Craig said farewell to Ian Fleming's iconic character, with a number of major behind-the-scenes developments having been announced in recent months.
But what do we currently know about the new film, what will it be about, who will be playing the character and when will it be released?
Read on for everything we know so far about James Bond 26.
Will there be another James Bond movie?
In spite of the central character going up in flames at the film's end, it still concluded with the simple message: "James Bond will return."
Back in 2021, we wrote that we were fairly confident fans wouldn't have to wait quite as long for Bond 26 as they had for No Time to Die, after there had been a six-year gap between Spectre and that film.
Still, we finally started seeing some movement in terms of the next film earlier this year, after a huge announcement was made.
This means that Broccoli and Wilson will remain co-owners of the franchise alongside Amazon, but Amazon MGM Studios has gained creative rights.
"We are grateful to the late Albert R Broccoli and Harry Saltzman for bringing James Bond to movie theatres around the world, and to Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for their unyielding dedication and their role in continuing the legacy of the franchise that is cherished by legions of fans worldwide.
Meanwhile, Broccoli said: "My life has been dedicated to maintaining and building upon the extraordinary legacy that was handed to Michael and me by our father, producer Cubby Broccoli.
Wilson added: "With my 007 career spanning nearly 60 incredible years, I am stepping back from producing the James Bond films to focus on art and charitable projects. Therefore, Barbara and I agree, it is time for our trusted partner, Amazon MGM Studios, to lead James Bond into the future."
This seems to suggest that while work will now begin in earnest on the next Bond film, it will still be some time until we see it on the big screen.
We will keep this page updated with any further news regarding the release date for the franchise's next instalment as we get it.
Who will be the next James Bond?
The name that has appeared the most in rumours over the past couple of years is 28 Years Later star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with reports swirling in 2024 that he had been offered the role.
If he is still in the running, he'll no doubt he pleased to hear that he has the backing of previous Bond star Pierce Brosnan, who told Yahoo! that he thought Taylor-Johnson "would be very good" in the role.
Other stars whose names have previously been in the mix include Tom Hardy, Rege-Jean Page, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba and Sam Heughan.
Meanwhile, Nine Perfect Stranger star Henry Golding has said that "it's a privilege to be in any conversation for a property like that", and One Day's Leo Woodall has said that while "that call hasn’t come yet," he would love to do something like" playing Bond.
The headline here, is that we still don't yet know who has been cast, or who even might actually be in the running behind closed doors. Hopefully we'll finally have some concrete news in the coming months, and once we do we will update this page.
Who could be in the Bond 26 cast?
The likes of Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Lea Seydoux and Rory Kinnear have appeared in multiple Craig era films, while Lashana Lynch and Ana De Armas both impressed in their 007 debuts in No Time To Die.
In 2024, Whishaw said that he didn't think he would be in the next film, adding: "I think they're going to start all over again with a new cast, a completely new cast. That's my hunch."
We'll keep this page updated as and when we hear any more information about who might be returning to the Bond cast, as well as any announcements about brand new cast members.
Who will direct Bond 26?
View oEmbed on the source websiteThe Spider-Man and Harry Potter producers were announced as joining the franchise in March 2025, saying in a joint statement at the time: "
"We are humbled to follow in the footsteps of Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson who made so many extraordinary films and honoured and excited to keep the spirit of Bond very much alive as he embarks on his next adventure."
Their next step will be to choose a director, and currently it's not certain which way they will go or who they will turn to.
Instead, perhaps they could turn to former James Bond director Martin Campbell, who has previously ushered in the eras of both Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
Campbell seems a more likely choice than Nolan, but giving the repeated claims that Pascal and Heyman will look to provide a fresh take on the franchise, will they be looking to go to directors of past films so quickly?
Whoever does end up taking the role, there's another key appointment that also needs to be made behind the scenes, as casting director Debbie McWilliams, who has worked on the past 13 James Bond films, recently announced her retirement from the position.
