Pierce Brosnan Reflects on James Bond’s Future After Amazon Takeover

The former 007 actor calls for the iconic franchise to be treated with respect as Amazon assumes creative control.

Pierce Brosnan, who played James Bond from 1995 to 2002, expressed hope that the character and franchise will be handled with 'dignity, imagination, and respect' under Amazon's leadership.
Amazon MGM Studios, a 50% stakeholder in the Bond franchise since 2022, has taken over creative control following the departure of longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Brosnan acknowledged the difficulty of Broccoli and Wilson stepping away but praised their courage in making the decision.
Fans and critics have raised concerns about the potential commercialization of the franchise under Amazon's management.
The next actor to portray James Bond remains unconfirmed, with Brosnan suggesting the role should go to a British actor.
