The director, who is responsible for the upcoming Blade Runner 2049, is said to have won big favour with Daniel Craig, who’ll play 007 for the first time in the upcoming movie.
According to the Daily Mail, Villeneuve has spoken with Craig as well as producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Although several other film-makers are thought to have their hats in the ring, it’s this contender in particular who is thought to be the one to beat.
His CV is impressive: he also recently took charge of sci-fi gem Arrival, fast-paced thriller Sicario and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Prisoners.
Actors in Villeneuve’s past efforts have spoken consistently highly of him.

Jeremy Renner, who was in Arrival, previously said: “Denis is thoughtful and emotionally intelligent, and funny and gregarious.
“First and foremost, he cares about what’s in front of the camera and there’s the sound, the design, cinematography and the camera angles.
“Everything plays together like an orchestra.”
Little is known about Bond 25, except that Craig’s return is now official – and it’ll be his last hurrah in the part.
He finally confirmed the news last month after seemingly endless speculation.
James Bond 25 is out in November 2019.
