One of the best directors? Maybe if you let hype merchants dictate your opinion. Villenueve is a dour and sexless director. Bond 26 will be a disaster regardless who gets cast as Bond.
Bond doesn't and has never needed arthouse/Oscar bait directors.
They shouldn't be waiting on director to finished his other commitments. Broccoli did this with Sam Mendes for Spectre when she should've promoted Alexander Witt from second unit director like her father used to do. Amazon MGM shouldn't wait on "prestige" directors.
Enough of the Nolan faux seriousness!
Denis Villeneuve’s take on Bond 26 won't be a rookie origin story. He's planning a radical reinvention.
Instead of a fresh-faced novice learning the basics, we will get a mature operative with a deeply explored military history.
This approach lets Villeneuve ground the character in modern realism while preserving Bond's dangerous, lethal edge.
Indecisiveness is correct. I'm been saying Pascal & Heyman and Villenueve are likely disagreeing on who should be Bond. It shouldn't be that way. Bond should've been cast and had a picture finished and out in theaters by now. Pascal, Heyman, and Villenueve need to go.
It was a disaster the moment they announced that Denis Villenueve was directing.

I'll admit I don't have much enthusiasm for any of the choices.
I didn't have much enthusiasm for Elordi either.
Jack Lowden and Callum Turner are among the final names in the running for James Bond.
Final screen tests for Amazon MGM Studios' new 007 are set to happen in the next week.

Honestly I think Callum Turner might get the role.
At least four test offers for the role to play James Bond have been given out and while unconfirmed, insiders tell Deadline that three of the four actors expected to test are Jack Lowden, Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor.

We should've had two new Bond pictures already. Amazon MGM, Pascal and Heyman need to get wise and kick Villeneuve off this picture.
Denis Villeneuve decided to direct the new James Bond movie after completing "Dune 3" because "I need a very powerful rocket to pull me away from Arrakis."
“I said, ‘Maybe it’s a good idea to go back to [Dune for a third movie], not out of nostalgia, not because I miss it, but the opposite — I’m tired of it. I want to make sure that I will be severe with the material. That I will not be complacent. I thought, ‘When it’s done, I need a very powerful rocket to pull me away from Arrakis.’ When I was asked to do the next Bond, I said: ‘Okay, this is what I need.’” (via Empire)
