Amazon will take creative control of the James Bond franchise under a new joint venture with long-time rights holders Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The deal comes after Amazon bought MGM Studios in 2022 as a part of its media push. The acquisition gave Amazon distribution rights to the 007 franchise but not creative control. The new joint venture means all involved parties will remain co-owners of the franchise and its intellectual property. The terms of the agreement give Amazon creative control of any new movies. Fans are still waiting to see who will follow Daniel Craig as the iconic spy after the actor's last film, No Time To Die, hit the big screen in 2021. Amazon hasn’t decided yet who the Bond will be or who will direct and write the next film.
