Tensions Stall James Bond Franchise Over Amazon

A dispute between Amazon and Barbara Broccoli over the future of James Bond has delayed progress on the next film.

Amazon's push to expand James Bond into a shared universe with spinoffs and series has caused friction with longtime franchise producer Barbara Broccoli.
Broccoli opposes treating Bond as 'content' and insists on maintaining the franchise's cinematic focus and artistic integrity.
The next Bond film has no confirmed actor, director, or script, three years after Daniel Craig's final outing in 'No Time to Die.'
Amazon's approach to franchise-building contrasts with Broccoli's tradition of deliberate, standalone films centered on Bond as a singular character.
Speculation suggests that the franchise's future may involve a new studio if Amazon and Broccoli cannot reconcile their visions.
