Amazon have gained full creative control of the 007 franchise. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.Wilson have handed over the reins to the corporate giant.

Amazon MGM Studios has struck a deal with Michael G.Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who previously took over from producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli, the man who oversaw the beginnings of the legendary film series.

The new deal means that Amazon could potentially open the doors for numerous Bond spin-offs, as well as the start of production on an anticipated Bond film with a new face starring as 007.

"Since his theatrical introduction over 60 years ago, James Bond has been one of the most iconic characters in filmed entertainment," said Mike Hopkins, the head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios.

Broccoli and Wilson will "remain co-owners of the franchise," though it will be Amazon in charge of creative decisions.

That is a shame, I'm sure they'll cast the least feasible person to be Bond, he proably won't even be a British spy anymore. Then totally oversaturate with all kinds of spins offs like Disney seems to.

Terrible news

Might as well consider Craig as the last real Bond and say that the ending was appropriate given the news.

I'm not a huge Bond fan but I watch the films eventually. The only reason Bond has "succeeded" thus far has been its scarcity if they start flooding the platform with spin-offs and films it will fail and turn out like the Star Wars franchise under Disney.
