Amazon MGM Studios gains control of James Bond franchise

.

The James Bond film franchise will no longer be under the control of the Broccoli dynasty, as long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson have announced their departure from the series.

The franchise will be handed over to Amazon MGM Studios.

The pair, who have overseen the franchise for decades, will now hand over creative control to Amazon MGM Studios. This transition follows Amazon’s acquisition of Bond’s parent studio in 2022.

In a statement released by Broccoli and Wilson, the two will stay on as co-owners of the James Bond franchise. However, the 'creative control' will be given over to Amazon MGM Studios.
