The timeline stems from tabloid reports, with casting and release plans still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Outlets citing The Sun report that crews are being assembled and filming is being targeted for late autumn to early winter 2026.
  • Amazon MGM Studios is producing, and speculation suggests a near-simultaneous theatrical and Prime Video rollout, though no distribution strategy is confirmed.
  • Multiple actors are linked to the role, with Jacob Elordi frequently named as the current favorite, but any offer remains unverified rumor.
  • Taron Egerton has publicly ruled himself out, telling Rolling Stone Australia he does not see himself as the right fit for 007.
