2021's No Time to Die ended Daniel Craig's run as the face of the James Bond franchise, and although it's incredibly unlikely he'll ever come back as 007, Craig's era can directly influence the next movie in the franchise. Currently, only referred to as the generic-sounding James Bond 26, the upcoming installment does have a director (Denis Villeneuve) and writer (Steven Knight), but details beyond that are incredibly scarce. The next actor to play Bond himself hasn't even been announced yet.
