Big news for film fans—Oscar-nominated French-Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is officially set to direct the next James Bond movie!

Amazon MGM made the announcement, with the Dune director sharing that he’s a “die-hard James Bond fan” and plans to honour the iconic legacy of the franchise.

One big mystery remains: we still don’t know who the next Bond will be… so that’s something to watch for!

Villeneuve was chosen over several top contenders, including Edgar Wright and Jonathan Nolan.

We can’t wait to see what our fellow Québécois film-maker does with 007!
