TL;DR: Denis Villeneuve is officially set to helm the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios, with veteran producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman on board (Tanya Lapointe is exec producing).

Villeneuve beat out other rumored names—think Edward Berger, Edgar Wright, Jonathan Nolan, Paul King (and even Alfonso Cuarón, who was a hot favorite)—to take the spy franchise into its next chapter.
