The search for the next James Bond finally appears to be narrowing down after years of speculation about who will replace Daniel Craig. Since Craig's departure in 2021's No Time to Die, the franchise has struggled to get its next chapter off the ground, although Denis Villeneuve's involvement as director has certainly given fans reason to be excited.

The field has reportedly narrowed to a handful of serious contenders, including Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, and Josh O'Connor. However, the latest casting news has introduced an especially intriguing possibility, with The Batman star Robert Pattinson reportedly screen-testing for the coveted role alongside Nicholas Hoult. Nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, but it seems we're getting closer than ever to discovering who will become the next 007.

Fortunately, fans won't have to wait for the next movie to see James Bond return, with an exciting new release officially arriving December 3.

James Bond is officially returning for another literary adventure in All In, a brand-new 007 novella from bestselling historian and author Dan Jones. Despite Amazon listing the hardcover release for November 12, Ian Fleming Publications currently has the special-edition release scheduled for December 3, 2026, noting the following on the official website:

It will be published as a special hardback edition exclusively via ianflemingshop.com on Thursday 3 December, and will be available as an eBook and audiobook globally across all regular platforms.

Either way, the new adventure takes Bond back to 1954, placing him in Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, six years after the country gained independence from Britain. With British influence gradually receding, 007 arrives on a mission to recover one of the world's most valuable gemstones, accompanied by none other than Tiffany Case.

According to the official description, Bond is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy stretching from the mountains of Kandy to the ocean floor, with the stakes extending well beyond the missing gemstone. The story promises plenty of classic Bond action, espionage, and intrigue. All In is unique in that it connects directly to Ian Fleming's original novels, celebrating the 70th anniversary of 1956's Diamonds Are Forever, bringing back Tiffany Case and potentially filling in some important gaps in Bond's personal history.

In fact, a November 5 advance commentary from David Lowbridge-Ellis for Ian Fleming Publications specifically highlights how the story explores Bond and Tiffany's relationship. Readers of From Russia, with Love already know the couple eventually separate, but Fleming never fully explained what happened between them.

You can pre-order All In by Dan Jones via Amazon here.

Lowbridge-Ellis, who has read an advance copy, suggests the new adventure will provide some long-awaited answers, although his comments stop short of a full review. That said, Jones certainly has the credentials to bring Bond's historical setting to life. He's best known for acclaimed works including The Plantagenets, The Templars, and the Essex Dogs trilogy. Publisher Simon Ward has also teased a story featuring intrigue, glamour, danger, and surprise appearances.

All In is part of the UK's National Year of Reading campaign, with Ian Fleming Publications pledging ongoing support to the National Literacy Trust. For longtime James Bond readers, it's another welcome opportunity to revisit Fleming's original version of 007 while the wait for the next big-screen incarnation continues.
