Amazon Taps Amy Pascal and David Heyman to Lead James Bond Franchise

The veteran producers are in talks to oversee the next phase of the iconic series as Amazon MGM Studios prioritizes a new theatrical film.

Amazon MGM Studios has gained full creative control of the James Bond franchise from longtime stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Amy Pascal and David Heyman, known for their work on Spider-Man and Harry Potter, are negotiating to spearhead the next era of the franchise.
A new theatrical James Bond movie is the immediate priority, with a reported £250 million budget and a tentative release timeline of 2027.
No official deal with Pascal and Heyman can be finalized until the transition of creative control from Broccoli and Wilson is complete.
Amazon has expressed interest in potentially expanding the Bond universe with spin-offs and television projects after the theatrical release.
