I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s not looking good for the 007 franchise.
Hollywood has systematically gone through all the popular IPs and have ruined them with their woke cultural Marxist propaganda.
And it looks like 007 is now in their crosshairs, pun intended.
Amazon now has ‘creative control’ over James Bond.
And after seeing how it butchered Lord of the Rings with it’s ‘Rings of Power’ series, that was probably the most expensive TV flop in history, fans aren’t happy about this.
In a James Bond shakeup that stirred the film industry, Amazon MGM announced Thursday that the studio has taken the creative reins of the 007 franchise after decades of family control. https://t.co/rBlL3IjBbv

Express reports:
The James Bond film franchise, a British institution, is now creatively “under threat of woke Amazon executives with zero Hollywood experience”, according to an insider.
ADVERTISEMENTYesterday, Hollywood was struck with the bombshell news that EON Productions made a new deal where their creative control of the James Bond film franchise now goes to Amazon MGM Studios.
For over 60 years, the British-American Broccoli family has maintained a non-compromising oversight over the much-cherished 007 movies, which they treated like a luxury brand.
Following rumours of internal clashes over the future of the next Bond, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson are getting out. However, they will still receive credit and a cut of 007 going forward.
The casting, script, director, and everything else for the reboot are now in the hands of Jeff Bezos’s mammoth company, which purchased MGM Studios for $8.5 billion a couple of years ago.
Must be one hell of a deal.
Remember when Barbara Broccoli called Amazon "fucking idiots" for saying Bond was "content?"https://t.co/f3A4TG9Zg9— Mab'Dib (@MabIsTink) February 20, 2025
Fans are already preparing themselves for the worst:

Well, at least there’s a ton of 007 movies already.
And to be fair, current state of Hollywood won’t last for much longer.
