Have given this a bit of thought and am pretty convinced DC ( ) will return for 26! Basically because BB loves him, how much clought he has with production etc and (hopefully) 26 coming out in 2022 to mark 60 anniversary would they take risk with a new 007 and at 53 that's not to old ( I know people in their 50's still on active service and a couple in their 60's in the private sector on the frontline! So although would love a new 007 ( Tom Cullen cough cough) definitely think DC will be back!!
I really hope that you are wrong about that but glad to hear another voice for Tom Cullen.
Of that of which we cannot speak we must pass over in silence- Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Hope I'm wrong to Cullen could still get the role in 7 years though, only be 40 , Rog, Tim and Pierce were all in their 40's when they got the role, so fingers crossed -{
Surely EON will want a new 007 in situ for the 50th Anniversary of Dr No. Like others have said though two years between Bond films doesn't exist anymore. At the rate they are going and even with a fair wind behind me realistically I hope to see Bond 25, Bond 26, and maybe Bond 27, but that might be a push. If it's five years between Bond 25 and Bond 26 (6 years from now) the landscape for potential actors to play the part will have shifted considerably, probably looking at actors aged late 20's now. Not sure who fits that bracket.

Craig was in place for the 50th anniversary of Dr. No.
I think they could still get a Bond film in for the 60th anniversary since if they do their typical autumn release it will have been over 2 years from Bond 25 (close to 3 years, and they have shown they can do three years). If the money is there, they can do Bond 26 almost 3 years after Bond 25 and still have it in 2022.

It's been a long holiday period over Christmas and New Year and maths was never my strongest suit......lol :-) I meant the 6oth Anniversary.
Having seen the opening of Antman, where Michael Douglas is made to look 20 or 30 years younger thanks to CGI, and having heard about the upcoming Scorcese film where the same trick is used on DeNiro et al, I can remind members that between QoS and Skyfall there are clearly a number of missing Craig adventures.
Therefore, far from his last Bond film, Craig should be roped in for two more after that, to fill us in on what we missed - and rejuvinated as such.
His funds should be drained from his bank accounts to make him more biddable. Then he can take a paycut, because that CGI doesn't come cheap.

All joking aside, Craig could easily decide to make another after Bond 25. Roger made his “last” Bond film several times.

This is Tom Brittney. He's an English actor, 28 years old (making him about 33 when we need a new 007) and 6' 2'' tall.
He's done some TV work, most notably taking over as the new lead of Granchester after James Norton. He was also in EON's "Film stars don't die in Liverpool", so he's probably met Barbara Broccoli. My first impression of him is that there is nothing wrong with him as a candidate to play Bond, but I'm not convinced Brittney has that extra something.
Lots of young handsome tall actors out there who might look the part...but the real test is do they have the charisma and screen presence to be Bond. Easy to look like Bond, hard to "be" Bond.

Daniel Craig has no screen presence, no charisma and doesn't have the classic Bond look, and yet he still got the role.

What is undeniable is the critical and commercial success of the Craig era. I'm not by any means a fan-boy but he must have something.

I think the fact that he worked on Babs' film has to be a big plus in his favour. I find it hard to believe he won't be screen tested, and maybe he has already.
Then in February, it was allegedly down to Clive Owen and DC. This is the earliest article I can find that refers to DC as being officially in the running. https://mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=2169
I guess one possible timeline for the new Bond and Bond26, assuming Bond25 is DC's last film is;
March 2020 DC officially resigns
Universal announces Bond26 release date of November 2022 (I find it hard to believe they signed up for just one film) for the 60th anniversary.
Media speculation of the usual suspects
Q3 2020 more realistic candidates are talked of as Bond26 story rumours indicate likely age for the seventh Bond.
1H 2021 rumours of casting calls/screen tests
October 2021 official announcement with December filming start.

I think women might have a different point of view to MattS.
He does seem popular with Women. I can see he does have a strong screen presence. Just watched Skyfall again and for me it all comes together here, nicely judged touches of lightness and humour, great physicality. Only mared for me by brutish hair which stymied his 'resurrection' back to Bond, although I'm glad they avoided the silly suit and a shave transformation of DAD.

Agreed. I am by no means a Craig fanboy, but to say he lacks screen presence as Bond is perhaps a touch of willful blindness. As a reference point, Henry Cavill is someone who truly lacks screen presence.
Craig also has charisma, just not the same charisma as say Brosnan or Roger. He certainly doesn’t have the classic look, which I would like to see them return to (Craig was a bit of a palate cleanser after the impossibly handsome Brosnan). But when you read Fleming, you can see what Craig is going for in his portrayal. I’ve always respected that.

You'd be in the minority on that one I'm afraid. IMO, you could see and feel Craig's screen presence in Layer Cake.
Layer Cake was pretty much an arthouse film in the US and very well reviewed with most critics, with Craig being seen as having star potential. IMO, his screen presence and gravitas overcame his non traditional movie star looks in CR and sold the public on him as Bond. His physicality and ripped physique also fit the modern perception of an action hero.

DC was asked if he would play Bond in September 2004, so he was on some peoples' radar even then. He said yes, BTW.

By January 2005 screen testing was well underway, but I find it hard to believe Rory McCann (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564920/) was the favourite.

The Daily Mail spoke to him as he has replaced another Bond candidate, James Norton, on a TV show.
David Arnold SAVED that film.
‘I would love to be Bond. And apparently if you even talk about it, you put your name in the ring,’ says the 28-year-old.
I'm not sure that's how it works ….
That’s how it works for the tabloids and bookies. He is poking fun at that.
