Danny Boyle won’t direct James Bond 25 after all. This caused a major shock to fans, who were thrilled when it was announced that Boyle, a longtime fan of the James Bond franchise, will be the one directing Daniel Craig in his last appearance as agent 007. Unfortunately, that won’t happen now, since Danny Boyle decided to exit the project due to creative differences.
“Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25,” – it was tweeted on James Bond official Twitter page.

After months of speculations, producers of James Bond confirmed in May that Danny Boyle would serve as a director for James Bond 25. John Hodge, who worked with Boyle on Trainspotting, was set to pen the script for the movie based on the original idea by the 61-year-old director. The film was set to enter production in December 2018, with the release date scheduled for November 2019.
After losing its director, James Bond franchise now faces a lot of uncertainty. Sam Mendes, who successfully directed previous two entries in the franchise, Skyfall and Spectre, decided to focus on other projects. Also, Daniel Craig is also expected to leave the film series after making James Bond 25. This will be his fifth appearance as James Bond.
