Well, that’s a shame.

The Oscar-nominated director was appearing on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs when he “categorically” denied that he would be directing the next instalment of the iconic British spy flick.

“I won’t be the man,” he said, and admitted that he’s been inadvertently linked to the project for a long time. "I think every time they hire a new director I'm rumoured to be doing it.”

Other names linked to helm Daniel Craig’s last outing as Bond are Blade Runner’s Denis Villeneuve and the Edge of Tomorrow’s Doug Liman.

But hope is not lost Christopher Nolan fans. He did say he’d like to direct a Bond movie in the future.

"I'd love to make a Bond film at some point and I think those producers – Barbara and Michael – they do a tremendous job and Sam Mendes has done a terrific job the last couple of films, so they don't particularly need me," he said.

"But I've always been inspired by the films and would love to do one someday."

So, you’re saying there’s a chance?
