According to World of Reel’s sources, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is “zeroing in on Nolan.”

The outlet studies that the director has been in talks with EON Productions.

However, they identified that additional discussions have been delayed because of the ongoing Hollywood actors and writers strike, plus his current promotion of Oppenheimer.

No doubt followers might be excited by the deal being negotiated for 2 Bond motion pictures, however there’s one main challenge.

The outlet factors out that Nolan would need lots of inventive freedom for his Bond imaginative and prescient, whereas Broccoli “rarely gives carte blanche to her filmmakers”.

Nevertheless, a deal may nonetheless be struck and the producers’ backups are rumoured to be Danny Boyle, Denis Villeneuve and Paul Greengrass.

EON Productions normally prefer to nail down what the Bond reboot might be like in tone, with the script and director, earlier than auditioning an actor to suit that.

And given rumours of Aaron Taylor-Johnson “impressing” Broccoli” and the very fact he starred in Nolan’s Tenet, we wouldn’t be shocked if he can be in excessive rivalry to be solid as the brand new 007.
