James Bond's long-serving producers give control to Amazon
BBC ^ | 02 20 2025 | Ian Youngs

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.

Looks like they settled on Aaron Taylor-Johnson. He was “Kick Ass” years ago, Quicksilver in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “Kraven the Hunter”. He seems up to the challenge and doesn’t scream woke or homo. Well - I’m always leery of hyphenated names.

Next movie would be Jane Blond, a lesbian, climate change activist, and woke spy takes down an Orange Nazi Hitler wannabe who is plotting to steal Greenland and annex Canada

M: Bond, your next assignment is to track down and eliminate S.P.H.I.N.C.T.E.R.!

BOND: “Sphincter”? But, I rather fancy sphincter.

I doubt Cubby or Harry would be happy about this.

Daniel Craig was a wuss as James Bond.
He came across as gay. He was always pouting or pursing his lips and wears too tight clothes and he cries in the films. He has said he likes going to gay bars.
After Bond, in his last 2 films he plays a gay character.
