LOS ANGELES, California – Exciting news for movie fans! The people who made the “Spider-Man” and “Harry Potter” movies are now working on the next James Bond film! Amazon MGM Studios made the big announcement on Tuesday.
The two big Hollywood producers, Amy Pascal and David Heyman, are now in charge of the next adventure of the world’s coolest spy, James Bond. This is Amazon’s first major move since taking full control of the legendary 007 franchise last month.
What Does This Mean?
Since Daniel Craig, the last actor to play James Bond, said goodbye to the role after No Time to Die (2021), the world has been wondering: Who will be the next James Bond?
Now, Pascal and Heyman will help decide who will play the next MI6 secret agent. They will also pick the movie’s director and set the filming schedule.
Who Are These Super Producers?
-
Amy Pascal – She helped make the famous “Spider-Man” movies, including the ones with Tom Holland. She also worked on some James Bond movies before, like Casino Royale and Skyfall.
-
David Heyman – He is the mastermind behind the “Harry Potter” movies! He also helped create Gravity, Barbie, and the adorable Paddington films.
What’s Next for James Bond?
Fans are super excited about who will play the next 007. Some actors people are talking about include:
-
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train)
-
Henry Cavill (Man of Steel)
-
Theo James (The White Lotus)
Amazon bought MGM Studios in 2022, which gave them access to all the old James Bond movies. But last month, they finally made a deal with longtime Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson to take full creative control.
The Broccoli family has been protecting the James Bond brand since the very first Bond movie, Dr. No (1962). They always made sure Bond stayed classy and didn’t turn into just another action hero with spin-offs. But now, with Amazon in charge, things might change!
What Did the Producers Say?
Pascal and Heyman shared their excitement in a statement:
“James Bond is one of the most iconic characters in movie history. We are honored to follow in the footsteps of Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson and can’t wait to bring Bond’s next adventure to life!”
Now, all that’s left is to wait and see: Who will be the next 007? And when will the next James Bond movie hit the big screen?
