It’s still unconfirmed that Sam Mendes will be directing another Bond film, but according to departing screenwriting team Neal Purivs and Robert Wade, he already has an idea in place for a potential sequel.

Leaving the franchise after having co-written the past five Bond films Robert Wade dropped the following information into an official statement.

“We’re very happy to have done five Bond movies. I think we’ve gotten it to a good place. I know that John Logan and Sam Mendes have come up with a plot for another one, which takes the pressure off because these films take up a lot of time.”

Sam Mendes has been hesitant to confirm he’ll direct the next 007 adventure but given the sensational box office success of Skyfall it’s likely that Sony will be keen for him to continue to guide the franchise.
