What we know so far about the next James Bond film

When a bartender asked James Bond in 2006's Casino Royale whether he'd like his vodka martini shaken or stirred, the irritated spy replied: "Do I look like I give a damn?" Such throwaway lines were a clever way of signalling to the audience that this was a new era for 007 - and that the film series launched in 1962 was being overhauled with the arrival of Daniel Craig. Over the next few films, producers struck a balance between nodding to the past while also moving away from some of the cheesier elements of the series, no longer sticking rigidly to all of the tradition and tropes of Bond.

"Were you expecting an exploding pen?" Ben Whishaw's Q later asked the secret service agent in Skyfall. "We don't really go in for that anymore." Two decades on from Craig's debut, the series is about to be rebooted once again, with a new actor and new creative team.

It's an exciting time for Bond fans as they wait to see what shape the next era will take. Here's what we know so far.
