They bought MGM and they have streaming rights

https://www.foxnews.com/media/007-turmoil-producers-amazon-cant-agree-franchise-i-dont-think-james-bond-hero

Amazon has no say in how the movies get made, who is cast to play Bond or any of the other characters like M, Q and Moneypenney.

Amazon also has no creative input or rights to the scripts or the production of the movies.

Broccoli family has owned the Bond films rights and rights to make Bond films since after The Man With The Golden Gun in 1973 when co-producer Harry Saltzman sold his 50% stake of the franchise to co-producer Albert R. Broccoli in 1975.

No one is allowed to make any Bond films except for one that has to be based on a Fleming novel: Thunderball.

Enough with all the talk about making Bond Black, or gay, or female, or trans. Bond is and will always be White, Straight and British.

Also enough with the talk about making spin offs of Bond like a Moneypenney series or instead of making a movie every 2-3 years, to turn Bond into an Amazon streaming series.

Broccoli and her company EON still retain full control of the Bond universe. Amazon can't do anything (TV, movies, comics, books, toys, anything) with it except to stream the movies on their website.

My vote goes to Theo James.  He was the perfect fit to play the part of aristocrat Eddie Horniman in The Gentlemen TV series.

He was awful in the Divergent movies. Wooden acting. No personality or screen charisma.

Jada Pinkett Smith if she can nail a British accent, Michelle Dockery or maybe Kate Winslet? All excellent choices 😈😈😈

Keep this on the down low, but they've already chosen Idris Elba... :_:-@

Tom Hardy would make a good James Bond.
I most defiantly agree with Sean Connery being the best Bond. Although I did like Roger Moore playing Bond.
I'm reading there is 3 on the short list... Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill and Idris Elba.
Who will it be. I must confess to watching all the movies. Love James Bond... :_love

I didn't really rate Craig as bond but layer cake yeah, he suited it! Connery definitely made Bond 💯👍🏻 but I personally don't think Hardy would suit that role either, it's not a rugged gangster character that he plays so well 🤷🏼‍♂️. Sean bean gets my vote ☝🏻 bean as bond 😄 he could suit and play the role perfect...

overall good actors hardy and Cavill. I just feel they would need to change the bond personality a bit to suit previous characters they played (like they should have with Craig) it's why bean gets my vote 😂 he could just walk in, play that mix Connery/moore it needs and also have that look of a bond actor at the same time 😁.

The problem is too much choice 😂 plenty could do it but they've got to fit the bill... Idris could work, he plays/played lots of detective parts which is probably why he would get the role, time will tell if whomever gets it fits those boots!

ooh yes time will tell and so many choices :_:-) yes fitting the part is the main priority so hopefully they pick the right one
as your right big boots to fill :_:D but Idris has played many characters well :_:D
just so unsure about his voice as Shere Khan for me it was not deep and ruff like the original cartoon but maybe i was expecting too much lol :_love

A little titbit...
When Sean Connery was hired to play James Bond. Ian Fleming, the author was not happy. He said Sean Connery did not portray the Bond from the book.  He said he was rough and not an elegant man, along with being the wrong actor. He wanted Richard Burton.
I felt he was perfect for the part of James Bond 007.

Cant wait to see who they choose...:_love

To truly know who James Bond was regarding the films, just do a James Bond impersonation. 100 precent, you'll try and do a Sir Sean Connery. I think Ian Fleming was thankfully proved wrong and ended up liking Sir Sean Connery. An Englishman and a Scotsman not liking each other, madness I tell ya lolz.

I couldn't agree more eyez.
I'm excited to see who the next James Bond will be.
I'm curious as to how they will continue the story line, because as of the last movie Bond dies.
Connery has got that sexy Scottish accent, he's my top pick...:_love

Amazon owns 50% of the James Bond franchise, but the other 50% is owned by Danjaq, which is run by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Amazon acquired the rights to the franchise when it bought MGM in 2022 for $8.5 billion.

*Just saying....owning half is not quite the same as NOT owning any. :_pirate
