Three years on from Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond, we still don't have "an heir apparent sized up for the tuxedo", said Den of Geek's David Crow.

Eon Productions is reportedly holding meetings with potential directors for the next film, but there is still no actor to play the character who was "shockingly killed off" in the last instalment in 2021. At the time, "think pieces pondered whether he really needed to come back", but now "headlines have transitioned dangerously close to 'why haven't they cast the next Bond yet?!'"
