The James Bond film franchise will no longer be controlled by the Broccoli dynasty, after long-serving masterminds Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson announced they are stepping down.
The Bond films were launched by Albert "Cubby" Broccoli in 1962, before his daughter and stepson took over.
The pair will now give creative control to Amazon MGM Studios, which was formed when Amazon bought Bond's parent studio in 2022.
The new deal comes after mounting speculation about the fate of the British spy, four years after his last outing in No Time to Die, which was also Daniel Craig's final appearance in the role.

Barbara did something Blowfeld and all the other bad guys couldn’t do......killed Bond.
Next movie would be Jane Bond, a lesbian, climate change, woke spy.
Buh Bye Bond
The name’s Gone, James Gone.
Actually, it was 2006. The franchise was on its last legs after Casino Royale.
Yes this is not good news for Bond fans.
Next up will be Jamie Bond, a 98-pound black trans lesbian girl boss with magic powers.
look what these SOBs did to LOTR. Woke nonsense. Expect a black, bisexual bond. gay bond.
Well, think of it this way, at least the new owners are not
Disney Inc.
Amazon:

Yes.
That and Little Nellie are my two favorite Bond vehicles.
Ya, I agree after Bronson it was pretty much meh at best but now Amazon will bury it for sure.
Can’t wait to see the new tranny Bond.
With Bezos’ new love for Trump, I’m willing to wait and see what they do with it. The new found “patriotism” may surprise us.
THE RINGS OF BOND!
After Sean Connery left the role, it went downhill.

Yes it’s success, as film cuz the books i didn’t think were all that great, was mostly because it was never a studio franchise. I still think it’s dinner when i see the broccoli name on the films production roll. The 50 year blu ray is worth the buy.
