The Name's Bond. James 'Amazon Echo' Bond.
Briefly

The Bond franchise, traditionally overseen by the Broccoli family, is transitioning to Amazon MGM Studios, controlled by Jeff Bezos. This shift has led to tensions, especially with Barbara Broccoli expressing discontent towards Amazon executives. Since Daniel Craig's departure in 2021, no new Bond films or actors have been announced. Michael G. Wilson is stepping back after nearly sixty years in the franchise to focus on personal projects, prompting Barbara Broccoli's decision to relinquish creative control, citing a desire to allow Amazon MGM Studios to lead the franchise's future.
We are honoured to continue this treasured heritage, and look forward to ushering in the next phase of the legendary 007 for audiences around the world.
With my 007 career spanning nearly 60 incredible years, I am stepping back from producing the James Bond films to focus on art and charitable projects.
The Amazon executives are fucking idiots, which highlights the tension between Broccoli and the new ownership.
I have had the honor of working closely with four of the tremendously talented actors who have played 007 and thousands of wonderful artists.
