Gun for hire: what does Denis Villeneuve joining as director tell us about the new James Bond?

It tells us that the casting will be terrible. It's impressive that Chalamet and Zendaya were so bad in Dune that they've managed to retroactively ruin Villeneuve's films for me.

It will not only answer who is 007, and what is 007, but also how is 007, and why is 007.

I also expect it will be at least an hour too long.

That they are desperate?

Maybe I'm just being naiive but i think DV is at the point in his career where he wouldn't take on a project unless he really believed in it.

That's really exciting! If he's bringing his whole team with him that bodes well for an amazing take on 007. He's one of my favorite directors, if not #1.

At least the landscapes will be pretty.
