The 25th James Bond movie has reportedly brought on Flea Bag and Killing Eve auteur Phoebe Waller-Bridge to edit the script. Daniel Craig’s last outing as Bond has already been through two directors, as well as a handful of screenwriters. The next Bond film is said to begin filming soon, though some scenes have already been shot.
Will the Bond 25 title be Eclipse?
Breakdown Artist Beth Herd wrote “Eclipse” as the name of a movie she’s working on, spotted by Bond fan site MI6 HQ.
The line was found on her profile on a job website for the creative industry.
Eclipse is listed next to B25 Productions, for which her role for this and next year is as a Textile Artist.
The entry has since been removed from the website.

A similar leak occurred for the Russo brothers’ Endgame.
The cinematographer listed on his online CV he was working on a movie titled Avengers: Endgame, before swiftly changing it to Avengers 4.
Of course, the title of the fourth Avengers film did indeed turn out to be Endgame.
So if the past is anything to go by, Bond 25 will likely be called Eclipse.

The working title on Daniel Craig’s fifth and final outing as Bond is Shatterhand.
However, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli confirmed Shatterhand will not be the title.
The title will likely be announced around the time Bond 25 begins filming officially.
Some scenes, without Craig, have been filmed in Norway already.
Bond producers traditionally hold press conferences at Pinewood Studios in London before principal photography begins.

During these press conferences is also when cast members are announced.
It seems increasingly likely a press conference for Bond 25 will take place around the end of April.
Eclipse is a fitting title for a Bond movie and sounds comparable to its predecessors Spectre and Skyfall.
Who will take over for Daniel Craig after Bond 25 remains to be seen.
Bodyguard star Richard Madden leads in the odds, with Tom Hiddleston and Cillian Murphy in second and third, according to bookmakers.
Bond 25 is set for release in UK cinemas on April 3, 2020.
