If Amazon cast a non white straight actor, gay actor, a woman, trans, to play Bond, that's it for me.

Amazon ruined Lord Of The Rings just like Disney ruined Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

That does not sound good. Are we going to loose the Bond we all know and love. :_:O

They bought MGM and they have streaming rights

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.
I would have to disagree on the spinoff thing Jaxe.  A back story, done right,  of M could be alright. would't have much to do with Bond until it came to fruition but hey.
The Batman spin of about Alfred was pretty good. :_:)

I love everyone's suggestions. Who ever gets the part is going to have big shoes to fill.
My favorite will always be Sean Connery, and he will be the Bond that every Bond wannabe will be compared against.
Followed closely by Daniel Craig, and I did like Roger Moore.

I like Aaron Taylor-Johnson. He did such a great job in Kraven.
