Amazon MGM Studios is set to take creative control of the James Bond franchise.
The shock announcement — which is sure to shake and, indeed, stir the industry — was made Thursday, alongside the news that long-time producers and custodians of 007, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, would be stepping back.
As per details of the historic agreement, Amazon MGM Studios, Wilson and Broccoli have formed a new joint venture to house the James Bond intellectual property rights. The three parties will remain co-owners of the iconic franchise but Amazon MGM will have creative control.
“Since his theatrical introduction over 60 years ago, James Bond has been one of the most iconic characters in filmed entertainment,” said Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios.
“We are grateful to the late Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman for bringing James Bond to movie theatres around the world, and to Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for their unyielding dedication and their role in continuing the legacy of the franchise that is cherished by legions of fans worldwide. 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.”

Maybe they can hire Kathleen Kennedy for the next movie.
Non White, Non Male, Non Straight Bond soon to hit screens near you!
They’ll do as good a job as they did with “Rings of Power”.
“Put a chick in it, and make her gay!”
Amazon did great with lord of the Rings—- making all the elves trans, black and lesbian— I’m just kidding I have no idea what they did because i didn’t watch that one either
(Maybe they can hire Kathleen Kennedy for the next movie.)
Absolutely no!!!!!
Kooky Katie ruined Star Wars ... if they want to ruin James Bond she's their huckleberry.
I hope this does not give us a gay or transgender James Bond. If these people harm the James Bond story then I hope they get “transgendered” by amateur surgeon Bond fans.
The new BOND lesbo black woman with a lisp......................
So all the Bond love scenes will now be two women. Take away the Walther PPK and what are we left with...
The gay, black African from Dr. Who is available now.
The name be BOND, JANIQUA BOND you blind ass muthafu&#^r.
Going to end up with some pink haired fat lesbo with 3 dozen facial piercings.
And the new approach to Bond will be.... put a chick in it and make her gay!
There goes another once-beloved franchise.
The Brits are not going to like this at all.
Someone will be blamed for letting this happen.
Sometimes, though, a franchise is done, unless all the main characters have been dramatically changed.
I wonder what they’ll replace his beloved gadget laden Aston Martin with?
