(L to R) Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Janelle Monáe, and Daniel Craig in ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.’
It’s hardly a mystery as to why Netflix quickly snapped up the rights to two more ‘Knives Out’ movies after writer/director Rian Johnson’s star-studded murder mystery did well at the box office in 2019.
‘Knives Out’ made more than $300 million at the box office, which might not seem like a lot in a time of billion-dollar earners, but that was off the back of a thrifty $40 million budget.
So Netflix was quick to offer up a hefty $469 million deal, which locked in Johnson, Craig and producer Ram Bergman for two sequels. The first, ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ arrives on the streaming service later this year and we have a new look at the movie.
Traveling far from the chilly Massachusetts mansion of the original, ‘Glass Onion’ finds Blanc headed overseas.

When tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) invites some of his nearest and dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island, it soon becomes clear that all is not perfect in paradise. And when someone turns up dead, well, who better than Blanc to peel back the layers of intrigue?
“You try and invite people that you like,” Johnson says. “But the reality is you never know. At the end of the day, just trying to get the best actors in each part, the actors that are most right for each individual part. So, you also just throw the dice and hold your breath. Luckily, we got a great group that really meshed.”
And one of the big elements this time is learning more about our main man, the dude with the drawl and the keen detective skills.
“You definitely get to know him a little bit better,” Johnson says. “In the first one, because of the way it was structured, Marta, Ana’s character, was very much the protagonist. In a big way, Blanc was the threat. He was almost the antagonist in terms of just the story structure because you were worried, even as they got closer, that he was going to catch her and he was going to have to turn her over at the end. Whereas, in this one, Blanc gets an invitation to come to this murder mystery on this island. We’re very much meeting these people and getting into this world through his eyes.”
‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ will be out for a limited theatrical release (details forthcoming) ahead of its Netflix launch on December 23rd. We suspect… foul play.

‘No Time to Die’ – and yes, we’re getting into spoiler territory for anyone who has yet to watch the most recent James Bond movie – put a definite capper on the Daniel Craig era of the super spy by killing off the character in a giant explosion.
So where does that leave Bond going forward, because the movie still also carried the “James Bond will return” tagline at the end of the credits? Those decisions are all up to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the producing duo who have overseen the Bond franchise for years now.
And they won’t be drawn on who might be filling the role just yet, as the focus is on how they’re going to re-invent the character and the franchise as a whole in the post-Craig period.
Speaking at a glitzy event in London to honor Broccoli and Wilson as they receive BFI fellowships, Broccoli addressed the question of just who might be filling the tuxedo/combat uniform/whatever Bond feels like wearing going forward.
“Nobody’s in the running,” she told Deadline. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”
Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in ‘Die Another Day.’
It’s bad news for Bond fans who now face a long wait for more movies, though let’s not forget that it was four years between the end of Pierce Brosnan’s tenure in ‘Die Another Day’ and the start of Craig’s in ‘Casino Royale’.
And figuring out a new Bond is a complicated process, particularly as Broccoli, Wilson and their team have always looked to present a new, evolving take on 007 between each new actor.
Craig’s Bond was considerably different than most of the versions that had come before it, and while the character is one that has resisted too much change back in the past, the current incarnation was a much more modern vision for the man.
And while the event was a star-studded event to celebrate the producing pair, it was also attended by the likes of Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris, who played Bond’s boss M and agent Moneypenny in several of the Craig films. “Naomie and I are the people to fix it,” Fiennes joked. “You find him and we’ll train him.”
That, of course, assumes that a “reinvention” of Bond doesn’t mean a change in M and Moneypenny (though Judi Dench’s M, of course, reoccurred between the Brosnan and Craig Bonds).
So yes, it does seem that if there are any villains waiting around to say, “I’ve been expecting you…”, they’re going to have to keep on waiting a fair bit longer. Maybe fire up Candy Crush on your phone?
Danny Boyle has made one of the most entertaining Bond films in history.
Sadly, that isn’t ‘No Time To Die’, which scored plaudits of its own last year. Instead, the director behind the likes of ‘Trainspotting’, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and ‘127 Hours’ created a short to play during the opening of the 2012 Olympics in London (for which he was overseeing the much-loved opening ceremony) wherein Daniel Craig’s 007 and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II leapt from a helicopter to skydive into London’s Olympic Stadium.
Still, Boyle nearly made ‘No Time to Die’ – or ‘Bond 25’ as it was known when he signed on to direct in 2018. While he’d established a good relationship with Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson after the Olympics short, his tenure in the director’s chair was short-lived, and he left a few months after getting the gig.
Rumors swirling about disagreements to do with tone, content, and villain choice (including the notion that Boyle was pushing for Bond to die, which we have since learned was the plan pretty much from the start and made it to the final cut of ‘No Time to Die’. Now, though, Boyle, talking to UK magazine Esquire, has opened up about his time on the spy franchise.
“I remember thinking, ‘Should I really get involved in franchises?’ Because they don’t really want something different,” Boyle tells the magazine. “They want you to freshen it up a bit, but not really challenge it, and we wanted to do something different with it.”

He goes on to explain his concept: “Weirdly — it would have been very topical now — it was all set in Russia, which is of course where Bond came from, out of the Cold War. It was set in present-day Russia and went back to his origins, and they just lost, what’s the word… They just lost confidence in it.”
Boyle had been working with his regular collaborator, John Hodge (writer of several Boyle movies including ‘Shallow Grave’ and ‘The Beach’) to develop their ideas and one of their big inventions did end up in the latest film, albeit in altered fashion. “The idea that they used in a different way was the one of Bond’s child, which John introduced, and which was wonderful,” he says.
The Bond films are, of course, trundling on regardless, and while we’re sorry that Boyle didn’t get to bring his vision to screens, he’s seemingly content with not going back to that world.
Still, since ‘No Time to Die’ marks the end of Daniel Craig’s run as Bond, who would Boyle like to see? Turns out, he’s a big fan of ‘I May Destroy You’ and ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ star Paapa Essiedu and, though the actor is quite busy with another giant franchise (cowl, Batsuit, you may have heard of it), Robert Pattinson is someone he thinks could make a good Bond.
As for Boyle himself, he has Sex Pistols miniseries ‘Pistol’ headed to TV screens via FX and Hulu on May 31st.
Prime Video has flashed the greenlight for ‘007’s Road to a Million’, a series that will see competitors shaken and stirred as they’re dispatched on a challenging race and series of trivia questions in a quest for a cash prize. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the shepherds of the Bond franchise, are involved, and it’ll kick off shooting later this year.
Yet while the announcement has led to a ripple of panic online that this is the future of the Bond movie series and a clear indication that Amazon’s purchase of MGM means a wave of junk Bond spin-off opportunities, this show has been in the works for years, long before the MGM deal closed, and something that has the backing of Broccoli and Wilson.
“I first had this idea over three years ago. Dan Grabiner and the U.K. Originals team took it to a whole other level, says 72 Film boss David Glover, whose company will be producing the show for Amazon, MGM, and EON, tells Variety. “To be working with Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and the Bond franchise is a privilege and a dream come true.”
Sean Connery as James Bond in 1964’s ‘Goldfinger’
Sounding a lot like a Bond-branded version of CBS series ‘The Amazing Race’, the show will see contestants competing in a global adventure to win a £1 million ($1.3 million) cash prize. Filmed in many of the historic locations featured throughout the seminal Bond films, this will be a test of intelligence and endurance. In addition to passing physical obstacles, the contestants — who will compete in two-person teams — must correctly answer questions hidden in different locations around the world to advance to the next challenge.
It seems unlikely to dip too far into Bond’s history – the famously sexist spy has been modernized in recent years, so while it’ll see competitors heading to locations, we doubt challenges will include unzipping a dress with a magnetic watch or shooting as many nameless henchmen as possible. And though they could end up mixing martinis, they probably won’t have to match the spy’s alcohol consumption levels.
The show comes at a point of transition for big-screen Bond: Daniel Craig’s tenure as 007 is over following ‘No Time to Die’, which has earned more than $774 million at the worldwide box office. Broccoli and Wilson are now tasked with finding a fresh face to take on the role and keep the film series evolving to meet the demands of a changing cultural and cinematic world.
This competition won’t end up with the winner claiming the role of Bond, but if you want to apply for the show – UK residents and those who can prove a direct connection to the country only, we’re afraid – you can head to this link.

The 25th Bond movie, ‘No Time to Die’ has been a huge hit, making more than $774 million worldwide in ticket sales at a time even as the pandemic continued to stifle the box office.
Now, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who have shepherded the film series since 1995’s ‘GoldenEye’, have been talking about the decision to kill off the character (yet keeping the “James Bond will return” caption at the end), their insistence that ‘No Time to Die’ remain a purely theatrical release, and the future of the character.
‘No Time to Die’s biggest shocker, of course, was Daniel Craig’s Bond sacrificing his life to save Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) and their young daughter. He literally goes down in a blaze of, well, not quite glory, but missile explosions. According to Broccoli, the decision to kill Bond came early in Craig’s tenure.
“The conversation began when we opened ‘Casino Royale.’ Daniel and I were in Berlin,” Broccoli tells ‘Deadline’s Crew Call Podcast. “It was a big success, and everybody embraced him and there was a lot of excitement. He and I were in the back of a car in Berlin going from the screening to the hotel. And he brought the idea up then. He said, ‘what about if I die?’ Well, first of all, he said, ‘how many of these pictures have I got to do?’ Which made me laugh after all the negotiating we’d been doing with agents and everybody.
“Stupidly, I said, ‘four…’ I should’ve said ‘nine or 10’! I should’ve lied, but I said four because that was the deal at the time. And he said, ‘what if we kill him off?’ I said, ‘sure, let’s do that. We’ll talk about it.’ That’s when the seed was planted, and I discussed it with Michael a lot. We had discussed it over the years because Fleming had tried to kill Bond off in books and things, but Daniel planted that idea.”
Daniel Craig as James Bond
The idea grew through the rest of Craig’s time as Bond, via ‘Quantum of Solace’, ‘Skyfall’, ‘Spectre’ and now ‘No Time to Die’, all more serialized than the movies had been in the past. Everything almost ended with ‘Spectre’ on a more upbeat note with Bond driving off into retirement with Madeleine at his side.
“Daniel decided that that was the end of his tenure. But after several months, Michael and I approached him, once he’d had some rest, and time to think, and we said, ‘it’s not really the end of your story, we still have another chapter. So that’s when the discussions came up that if he were to do another one, what is left in his portrayal of Bond and where to go with it? This became the obvious conclusion.”
So what’s next for Bond? Broccoli isn’t ready to really name names yet. “People always ask, ‘Oh, who’s the next James Bond?’” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s like asking a bride as she’s going up to the altar who’s her next husband going to be. I don’t really want to think about who is going to be the next person until I absolutely have to.”
One name that has cropped up in conversation at lot for the role is Idris Elba, though Broccoli and Wilson are coy on the idea. “Well, we know Idris – I’m friends with him and he’s a magnificent actor,” Broccoli says. “It’s been part of the conversation, but it’s always difficult to have the conversation when you have someone in the seat,” she continued. “I think we have decided that until ‘No Time to Die’ has kind of had its run and Daniel has been able to – well, we’ve all been able to – reap the benefits of Daniel’s wonderful tenure, we’re not gonna think about or talk about anybody else, actors to play the role or storylines or anything. We just wanna live in the moment, the present.”
Idris Elba
One part of the decision has led to some controversy, with Broccoli adamant that there won’t be a female Bond as long as she’s running the show. “I think it will be a man because I don’t think a woman should play James Bond,” she explains. “I believe in making characters for women and not just having women play men’s roles. I don’t think there are enough great roles for women, and it’s very important to me that we make movies for women about women. He should be British, so British can be any ethnicity or race.”
Regardless of who plays Bond going forward, it’s hard to argue with the success so far. The 25 official movies have earned more than $7 billion. And even as the pandemic forced delays and shifts by other movies to streaming, Broccoli and Wilson stayed firm in the belief that 007 should stay theatrical only.
“I never thought of it as power and control. I mean, these films are made by a group of people that had started in 1962, and it’s always been a group of people working together to make these films,” she says. “We make theatrical films and go to great pains to make them as cinematic as possible. We have always worked with great directors and cinematographers and production designers who do their utmost to create a visual feast for people to enjoy. I think that’s what we intend to do, but things change, so who knows? Down the road, it may be different.”
The future also holds the prospect of Amazon completing its purchase of studio MGM, which owns some of the rights to Bond. But don’t go expecting a Marvel or Lucasfilm -style exploitation of side characters on big screens or TV.
“Sure, there are other main characters like M and Q and all that,” says Broccoli. “But we haven’t really wanted to make a Bond film without Bond. It would be like making ‘Hamlet’ without Hamlet.”
As part of the celebration for Bond’s 60th anniversary, ‘No Time to Die’ will return to IMAX screens on Friday January 27.
James Bond has had no shortage of iconic villains over the years, and ‘No Time to Die’ actor Rami Malek and director Cary Joji Fukunaga are planning that Malek’s Safin will be one for the ages. In this interview, they discuss Malek’s intention to make Safin “unsettling,” and how Safin’s ruthlessness makes him a formidable adversary for 007.
‘No Time to Die’ is scheduled to open theatrically November 20.
The 25th installment of the spy franchise is called “No Time to Die.” Daniel Craig returns for his final outing as James Bond, with Cary Fukunaga directing.
In “No Time to Die,” the martini-sipping MI6 agent has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
The question of who will be the next James Bond is a long-running game that fans and bookies alike enjoy playing. As Daniel Craig’s tenure as 007 comes to a close, basically every name in Hollywood has been thrown into the mix: Idris Elba. Tom Hardy. Tom Hiddleston. Richard Madden.
Now, there’s a new name floating around, courtesy of a report by the Daily Mail and it’s a completely new one: Lashana Lynch.
The black British actress starred in “Captain Marvel” as Air Force pilot and Carol Danvers’ best friend Maria Rambeau.
The Daily Mail notes that Lynch will not actually be James Bond, but play an agent who takes over his famous codename, 007.
In “Bond 25,” Craig’s titular character has retired and is enjoying some R&R in Jamaica.
“There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says, ‘Come in, 007,’ and in walks Lashana,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“It’s a popcorn-dropping moment. Bond is still Bond, but he’s been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman. Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don’t work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her eyes at him and has no interest in jumping into his bed. Well, certainly not at the beginning.”
The choice of a black woman to be the new 007 may have been influenced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the creator of “Fleabag” and “Killing Eve,” who was recruited to work on the script for “Bond 25.”
Recently, Waller-Bridge sounded off on Bond’s relationship with women.
“There’s been a lot of talk about whether or not [the Bond franchise] is relevant now because of who he is and the way he treats women,” she told Deadline.
“I think that’s bollocks. I think he’s absolutely relevant now. It has just got to grow. It has just got to evolve, and the important thing is that the film treats the women properly. He doesn’t have to. He needs to be true to this character.”
Christoph Waltz, who played Ernst Stavro Blofeld in 2015’s “Spectre,” was spotted on the set of “Bond 25” at London’s Pinewood Studios:

In “Spectre,” Blofeld was revealed to be the mastermind behind an international criminal organization, as well as James Bond’s adoptive brother.
Waltz’s inclusion would create further links between “Bond 25” and “Spectre,” since Léa Seydoux and Rory Kinnear are reprising their roles from the latter film as, respectively, Dr. Madelaine Swann and MI6 chief of staff Bill Tanner.
In “Bond 25,” the martini-sipping agent has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica.
