Though interested, he indicated he would examine any such offer like any other production and make his decision on the story and director.

Barbara Broccoli doesn't want to start Bond 26 despite Craig's replacement's popularity.After saying “nothing has happened yet,” the next Bond film may reveal its protagonist slowly.

As distressing as that may be to hungry James Bond fans, a significant pause between the Craig flicks and Bond 26 may be just what the franchise needs.

James Bond films have been released every few years since 1962's Dr. No. Six years is the longest film gap. Bond is nostalgic,

therefore a longer gap between No Time to Die and Bond 26 may increase interest. O'Connell or another frontrunner may benefit from a cinematic break with 007.
