Amazon Takes Creative Control of James Bond Franchise

The Broccoli family's decades-long stewardship ends as Amazon plans a new direction for the iconic spy series.

Amazon MGM Studios has assumed full creative control of the James Bond franchise, ending Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson's long-standing stewardship.
Former Bond actors and fans express mixed reactions, with concerns over preserving the franchise's British identity and fears of over-commercialization.
Amazon executives have not yet outlined specific plans for the next Bond film, but they emphasize a long-term commitment to the franchise's legacy.
Christopher Nolan previously expressed interest in directing a Bond film but was turned down due to creative control disputes with Broccoli.
Speculation grows over potential spin-offs and new directions, with Amazon reportedly aiming to expand the Bond universe across multiple platforms.
