Reportedly, Nolan is in talks to direct the upcoming James Bond films. According to World Of Reel sources, James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has apparently chosen Nolan for the next two installments. However, the talks have been delayed due to the ongoing Hollywood writers and actors strikes. Also, the director has promotional commitments to his recent release, Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer.

As per reports, the deal would mean Nolan would write and direct the next two films. The films will be led by Daniel Craig’s unannounced successor.

According to sources, the biggest reason that can be the deal breaker is Nolan’s need for creative freedom for the project. Other directors who can be potential back-ups include Danny Boyle, Denis Villeneuve, and Paul Greengrass.
