James Bond Producers Yet to Start on Franchise's Future Post-Daniel Craig Era
No Plans Yet for Next James Bond Movie as Producers Focus on Character Reinvention to Reflect Modern Times
- Franchise producer Barbara Broccoli revealed that producers have not started planning the next chapter of the James Bond series following Daniel Craig's departure.
- The significant delay in the next Bond movie development is partly due to the franchise's need to reflect the changes in the world for the past 20 years since Craig first took on the role.
- Broccoli highlighted that the next iteration of Bond will focus on what a 21st-century hero would look like, similar to the approach they took when Craig was cast.
- Despite rumors and speculations on who the next James Bond would be, the next actor to play the role will not be announced soon because the character needs to be updated first according to Broccoli's preferences.
- Although Amazon, who now controls the franchise, is debuting a Bond-themed show on Amazon Prime Video, Barbara Broccoli emphasized the Bond movies are made for the big theatrical screen and they are not interested in moving to television.
