TheJames Bondfranchise is one of the oldest and most respected in movie historyand it currently sits at a crossroads.

People are playing it very safe, Broccoli toldThe Independent.

Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time to Die.

I think in times of crisis like this, youve got to be brave.

Its certainly a new era in the movie business, so were trying to figure it out.

For all the thrilling action on screen, Bond movies are not known for taking huge risks.

Perhaps the biggest challenge involves choosing the next Bond.

Every time we cast a new actor, the films change.

Its the excitement of a new Bond, a new direction, said Wilson.

Every one of these people who took on the role offered something new and different.

Whomever the siblings choose for the next Bond will likely usher in yet another change in approach.

But even the apparent rumored choiceAaron Taylor-Johnsonhas a strong comedic resume (Kraven the Hunters a comedy, right?

), offering a chance to go more light-hearted.

Lets just hope it doesnt build up more anticipation than any choice could possibly meet.

All we know for sure is that James Bond will return.
