Prolific Mission: Impossible writer-director Christopher McQuarrie has let the world know he would be open to explore helping steer the post-Daniel Craig era of James Bond. When asked on Twitter about a ScreenRant article fancasting McQuarrie into the franchise, the director coyly replied: “I have never been a hard guy to find.”

The only hitch? McQuarrie has something of a full plate at the moment. He has both Mission: Impossibles 7 and 8 on the immediate horizon, which will no longer shoot back-to-back and therefore take further time away more unpredictably. It’s also going to be quite a while before anyone knows how Daniel Craig’s final James Bond adventure, No Time to Die, will be received after finally coming out on October 8. It was originally slated for April 2020, but was pushed back repeatedly due to the pandemic.
