Amazon Removes Guns From James Bond Posters on Prime Video

Prime Video’s redesigned Bond artwork presents uniform thumbnails that quickly drew criticism from fans.

Overview

  • A new promotional graphic for the 007 catalog on Prime Video shows altered thumbnails with firearms removed from several classic images.
  • Edits vary by title, with some posters airbrushed and others cropped, including a Spectre image where Daniel Craig’s hands were trimmed to exclude a pistol.
  • Some reports say certain sexualized imagery was also omitted in the redesign, though the extent of those changes remains unclear.
  • Amazon declined to comment as fans on social media questioned awkward poses and noted the 007 logo still features a stylized pistol.
  • The marketing move unfolds as Amazon expands its stewardship of the Bond franchise following its MGM acquisition and ongoing development of the next film.
