Christopher Nolan could be directing 'James Bond 25' after Danny Boyle walked out over 'creative differences'
After Danny Boyle quit 'James Bond 25', there has been speculation that Christopher Nolan is taking up the helm on the upcoming Bond movie, which is scheduled to release on October 25, 2019. The film is also reportedly Daniel Craig's last performance as the superspy.
Boyle's exit as a director was confirmed on a Twitter post by Michael G Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, and Daniel Craig on Tuesday (August 21), where they mentioned that Boyle decided to no longer work on the franchise due to "creative differences".
While it is assumed that Boyle's departure could possibly have an impact on the film's production, which is due to start in December, it will probably be a fair deal for Nolan to take up the reigns. According to the Betfair bookies, Nolan is 2/1 odds on to replace Boyle as director.
Moreover, Nolan had earlier expressed his interest in directing a James Bond movie. However, there are also rumors that directors like Yann Demange, Dennis Villeneuve, Sam Mendes, and Lynne Ramsay might also be contenders.
