Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will write the forthcoming James Bond film, Amazon and MGM Studios have confirmed.

Axar.az reports that the movie, which will be directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve, is currently in development and being overseen by the studio after long-serving masterminds Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson stood down in February.

Knight told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: "It has always been on my bucket list and it's fantastic to be invited to do it - I can't wait to get started.

"I'm hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it will be imbued into me and I will be able to produce something that's the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder," he added.

However, Knight did not shed any light on which actor might portray 007 in the next film.

Daniel Craig stepped down from the role in 2021 after starring in five Bond films, and there has been much speculation over who will replace him.

British actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and James Norton have been rumoured as frontrunners for the part, while Irish actor Paul Mescal's name has also been thrown into the mix.

When asked about it, Knight said: "That is a very, very good question, and one I can't give you the answer to."
