MGM has released an official statement confirming that Cary Joji Fukunaga will replace Danny Boyle on the still untitled James Bond 25. This announcement comes after weeks of turmoil stemming from the departure of the film's original director, Danny Boyle, over creative differences.

Fukunaga notably wasn't on the recent shortlist which included American Animals director Bart Layton, Star Trek 4's S.J. Clarkson and White Boy Rick helmer Yann Demange, who was reportedly a strong contender to land the gig.

Now that everything's back on track, the movie has also been given a new release date: Bond 25 will hit theaters on February 14, 2020.

“We are delighted to be working with Cary. His versatility and innovation make him an excellent choice for our next James Bond adventure,” said producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

@Solarkalel85 - Given his involvement in Beasts of Wild Nation on Netflix is what has me onboard for example but yes he is a good pick regardless.

@NinnesMBC - Beasts of No* Nation. And that was a really good film, for anyone who hasn't seen it. One of the first "Netflix Originals"

@Solarkalel85 - Enjoy! Fun fact: the co-lead in that film is an actor by the name of Abraham Attah. You may know him as the kid from Peter's Quiz Bowl team in Homecoming.

Who? Don't know him or his films. Craig's a good actor but was never really Bond.

@jp688 - Use google. It will show why he is right for the job.

@jp688 - honestly, this is one of the best directors out there. This is a damn good choice. Have you seen IT? He didn’t direct, but he did the camera work.

@BloodyBed

Chung-hoon Chung did the cinematography for IT. Cary was credited with a partial screenwriting credit.

Cary is a great visual director though so this bodes well for Bond. I honestly like this fit better than Danny Boyle.

@BloodyBed - he had almost nothing to do with the final product we saw with IT. He wrote the original draft of the script and was originally slated to direct. After he left the project the script was rewritten a couple times before it was finished. He was given writing credits in the final film.

I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on. - Daniel Craig

if I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money. - Daniel Craig
