Production for Logan Lucky is scheduled to begin this fall, ensuring that Craig has finally cut his ties with Bond franchise.
It has also been widely reported that Jamie Bell has discussed 007’s role with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. Craig has been very vocal about not wanting to do another Bond. After Spectre, he said publicly that he would rather slash his wrists than do another in the franchise.
Logan Lucky is Steven’s first film after the director vowed to retire from filmmaking. Most recently, he directed the 2013 medical thriller Side Effects starring Tatum, Jude Law, Rooney Mara and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
