The future of the espionage franchise has questioned since it went under the creative control of the Amazon MGM studio in mid-February.
The James Bond franchise experienced upheaval on February 20. The American studios Amazon MGM had announced that they resumed the “creative control” of the saga 007 after having concluded an agreement with Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, historic producers of the film franchise since Goldeneye In 19995. This announcement caused many questions of fans about the future of the spy on the license to kill, whose adventures could potentially be declined through programs exclusive to the platform of streaming Video bonus.
But the priority remains to find a new interpreter for the British secret agent. Because Daniel Craig has repaired James Bond’s tuxedo for four years, with the release of Dying can wait In 2021. But that fans reassured: if Amazon MGM took creative control of the franchise, some fundamentals remain. The tabloid The Daily Mail said on March 8 that “the spy would not change sex or nationality”, according to an internal note from Amazon.
It must be understood that the hero of Ian Fleming will remain a man from the Commonwealth, and will not be embodied by an American actor. The name of the next James Bond is still not known. No actor has yet been formalized by Amazon to take over the tuxedo of 007.
But James Norton’s names (Happy Valley, Grantchester), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass, Bullet Train) and Theo James (Divergent, The Gentlemen), Henry Cavill (Man of Steel, The Witcher) or Harris Dickinson (Babygirl) are increasingly murmur within the specialized press and with bookmakers. We must now wait before knowing whether they are pure speculation, or founded tracks.
