Amazon Taking Full Creative Control Of The James Bond Franchise

“My life has been dedicated to maintaining and building upon the extraordinary legacy that was handed to Michael and me by our father, producer Cubby Broccoli,” added Broccoli. “I have had the honour of working closely with four of the tremendously talented actors who have played 007 and thousands of wonderful artists within the industry. With the conclusion of ‘No Time to Die’ and Michael retiring from the films, I feel it is time to focus on my other projects.” It’s unclear how this change will affect the search for the next Bond, but rumors have been floating around since Craig called it quits. Some notable names that have been rumored to have had talks about the role include Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Harry Styles, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. However, with a new creative team in control, it’s possible that powers that be will go in a totally different direction with 007. There’s even a chance the character ends up on the small screen, as Prime Video produces some of the more well-received streaming TV projects, such as The Boys and Fallout.
