In a recent interview with Deadline, franchise producer Barbara Broccoli clarified that filming for the next Bond movie won't start until 2024 at best.

Barbara Broccoli confirms in this interview that the production has not even started looking for the new actor who will take over the place left vacant by Daniel Craig, and that she is still wondering what direction the franchise will take.

There can't be a script yet as we haven't decided how we're going to approach the next movie yet, because we're totally reinventing Bond. We are reinventing who he is, and that takes time. I'd say filming won't start for at least two years”.
The little advice (gratos) from the editorial staff
A little house advice to the Broccoli team: please take your time!

Editor's proposal: make a 180° turn and return to the sources of the character. History to find a spy at the same time charmer and seducer, virile and intractable, to whom we forgive all the audacity, all the pranks. An agent at the service of Her Majesty and Sean Connery fans, even with a small dose of Roger Moore humor. A hero who inspires and reassures at the same time, whose only important quest after saving the world would be to find a 1953 vintage Dom Pérignon. in his grave…
