Bond Franchise Eyes Reboot as Speculation Builds Around Paloma Spinoff

New reporting points to a Villeneuve-directed reset in development, with IO Interactive’s 007 First Light casting Patrick Gibson.

Overview

Amazon MGM is reported to be developing a James Bond reboot that resets continuity, with Denis Villeneuve attached and a new actor expected to take on the role.
Separate commentary proposes a Paloma-centered film or series set in the Daniel Craig timeline, but no such spinoff has been confirmed.
Ana de Armas’ turn in No Time to Die and her action lead in Ballerina are cited as reasons she could headline a Paloma project.
Debate over a so‑called female Bond continues, with Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas on record favoring original female leads rather than recasting Bond’s gender.
IO Interactive’s upcoming video game 007 First Light is reported to star Irish actor Patrick Gibson as a new incarnation of the spy.
