Danny Boyle out as director.
Beef over Russia-oriented script with Russian focus cited as reasons.
MGM ultimately made the decision to part ways with Danny. They had 2 scripts. 1 Danny Boyle, 1 original writers (the same writers for the past several Daniel Craig movies)
MGM reviewed both scripts. They sided against Danny.
Release date has been pushed from 2019 as a result. The project has no replacement for director.
Bond 25 'will miss 2019 release date'
Cold War era disagreements afoot.

Edgar Wright? He did Baby Driver. Mackenzie did Hell or High Water which was great also. Could do much worse than those two.

Sounds like there was more to it than just the Russia angle
It's reported that there were discussions of a "Doctor Who-esque regeneration with a new actor", following Daniel Craig's 'dramatic' departure from the franchise
Director Danny Boyle stepped down from James Bond 25 following a dispute over killing off Daniel Craig’s secret agent character, it has been reported.

Lol, there's nothing "Doctor Who-esque" about it, stupid of them to use that phrase. We've already had a bunch of actors play Bond, and if they killed him off and made a new character to be 007 that still would be nothing like Doctor Who. Closest thing would be if the new agent was female, which these days would not surprise me in the least.

The lead producer of the Bond franchise (a woman) did say its time for a black man to step into the role.
They are eyeing Idris Elba as you know. I have major problems with that casting that have nothing to do with race-- so hopefully that doesn't happen, so I won't have to fucking type them all out here.
Don't test me.

Thank god for backlash. We don't need a grandpa bond. He'd be pushing 50 by the time a movie came out and the action scenes would suffer tremendously.
Also you don't typically cast a KNOWN ACTION STAR in the Bond role. I don't believe its typical for a Bond to do big action movies and have a major action brand, prior to becoming Bond. part of Bond is the transformation into Bond. You can't play Bond in 100 movies, and then transform into Bond.
Pierce Brosnan. Not an action star.
Daniel Craig. Not an action star.
Keep working back boys. Let me know when we hit a Bond that was a previous MAJOR ACTION STAR in big major action roles that was selected for the Bond role.
I fucking dare you.

I never understand these people trying to kill off successful franchises so vigorously. Listen at how strongly that article's author(and Broccoli) want to kill off a character that has lasted since 1953. Just stop making them if you are so offended by what Bond stands for? Oh, that money thing. You want to ruin it, kill the money, and then move on like Star Wars, Ghost Busters, etc? Ahhhh

Dumbest argument against Elba as Bond. Even from you, i'm surprised at how dumb that is.
The only legit reasoning would be if they wanted a black Bond for the sake of having a black Bond. Elba's probably the most qualified for the role and it would be beneath him to get it as a diversity hire.

Finally getting this party started.
But you're consistently always a week late on getting back to me-- takes all the fun out of the moment!

He is not a major action star. To me that implies that he's successful at it financially and that's what he's most known for.
His most well known roles (Luther, Stringer Bell, and the beast of no nation) are not action roles. What's his highest grossing action film that isn't part of a huge franchise? What major action film did he headline that did more than 80 million?
At best, he is a supporting character in successful action films.
Do you consider Ryan gosling an action star because of, say, drive?
