Known for directing the first season of HBO’s True Detective and the acclaimed film Beasts of No Nation, fans appear to be confident that Cary Joji Fukunaga will bring a fresh vision to the franchise and are eager to see his take on the character. In fact, a number of fans believe that Cary Joji Fukunaga is a better choice to direct the next James Bond film than Danny Boyle while others stated that they wish the filmmaker could have directed the first installment with Daniel Craig’s successor.
