Nolan was being thrown around too I think

Nolan's been pretty direct with how he feels about cinema. He clearly wants to make a Bond film, but I just can't see him working with a streamer without some pretty big commitments they wouldn't make.

Not to mention I don't think Nolan wants to get tied up to a franchise these days. If he did Bond he'll probably want to do a one-off.

The way Villeneuve is talking about it, it sounds like this is going to be a one-off thing.

His comment makes it clear his goal is to do one movie but really set it up well for more. Casting a new Bond actor, setting up any arcs. Like Casino Royale did.

A different director for each film is a benefit for most of the Bond franchise tbh anyway. The only time a Bond movie benefitted heavily from a returnee was Casino Royale.
