  • In a major shakeup for the film industry, Amazon MGM Studios said on Thursday it will take creative control of the James Bond franchise from long-serving producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

The James Bond franchise is undergoing a significant shift as Amazon's MGM Studios has taken creative control from Eon Productions, marking a new era for the iconic spy series. This change comes after Amazon's acquisition of MGM for $8.5 billion, aiming to revitalize the franchise with fresh ideas and broader distribution capabilities. The transition has sparked discussions about the future direction of Bond, including potential changes in casting, narrative style, and the overall tone of the films. While Eon Productions will still be involved, Amazon's influence is expected to bring a more global and possibly more diverse approach to the character and storylines, potentially affecting everything from the choice of the next actor to play Bond to the settings and themes explored in future films.
