James Bond in 2025? Costume designer Jany Temime questions if the spy formula still fits
Jany Temime, the acclaimed costume designer behind Skyfall and Spectre, is asking the question many longtime fans have wondered: can James Bond still work in today's world? Speaking to Deadline at the SCAD Lacoste Film Festival in France, Temime, who helped shape Daniel Craig's sharp look in the 2012 and 2015 films, reflected on her time with the franchise and the challenges it faces now. Jany Temime discusses the future of James Bond in 2025.( janytemime_costume_designer/ Instagram) Also Read: Brad Pitt breaks silence on what made co-star Damson Idris 'won out' in auditions 'We made two beautiful James Bonds, two amazing gems,' Temime said, crediting the magic to Craig, director Sam Mendes, and producer Barbara Broccoli - a combination she called the 'Golden Trio.' Temime didn't hold back on the hurdles that lay ahead. She recalled that Mendes had already worked hard a decade ago to add more depth and nuance to the Bond character. 'He tried his best with a lot of psychology, talent, and his incredible quality as a director,' she said. Now, she believes the stakes are even higher. 'I'm a James Bond fan, but how are you going to have a guy killing somebody, making love to a woman, and then drinking a Martini to forget... I'm really wondering how you can adapt that formula to 2025,' she added. Her comments come shortly after reports that Dune director Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to helm the next Bond film. It will be the first Bond movie not directly overseen by the Broccoli family, after Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson handed over creative control to Amazon and MGM Studios earlier this year.

However, she refrained from speculating about who might play the next Bond. 'I know so many incredible, wonderful, sexy young actors, but it depends what direction they want to go.' Temime was being honored with the SCAD Etoile Award at the Lacoste Film Festival. Reflecting on her journey, she shared stories from Harry Potter, including how she dressed the characters to look relatable, not magical. FAQs What is the next James Bond movie coming out? The next James Bond film is currently in development with Denis Villeneuve set to direct, but no official title or release date has been announced yet. Which James Bond is most popular? Sean Connery is widely regarded as the most iconic James Bond, though Daniel Craig gained massive popularity with modern audiences. What does 007 stand for? The code '007' designates Bond's license to kill, with '00' signifying elite status in MI6 and the '7' being his specific agent number. Where can I watch the James Bond movies? James Bond films are available on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video, which owns the franchise rights through MGM.

His latest Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3 has run into controversy after Pakistani actress Hania Aamir was revealed as the female lead in the film's trailer.
