Easily the biggest name on this list, Edgar Wright is someone who regularly gets mentioned whenever there's a vacancy for any major franchise. A self-confessed Bond fan, who has previously said he'd love to make one, he'd be the kind of pick to really restore faith and excitement in the series.

That said, he left Ant-Man over creative differences with Marvel, and he'd presumably want to work on his own script too. Nonetheless, if you can get Wright to direct your movie, you should definitely get Wright to direct your movie.

Who do you want to direct Bond 25? Let us know down in the comments.
